Happiness is an energy-efficient home

Energy efficiency isn’t just good for the environment: according to the SmartEnCity’s project, it’s good for our moods too.

That’s why the project is turning dated and drab apartment blocks into dynamic, energy-efficient dwellings. The project is unique in that it takes a comprehensive approach to building renovations. Not only does it help install the insulation, doors and windows needed to reduce energy use, it also gives the building’s exterior a facelift. In Estonia, buildings were even painted with decorative, energy efficiency themed murals. The net result is an increase in both energy efficiency and the quality of life and overall happiness of residents.
