The SECURE NPA team from the Association of Local Authorities in Västernorrland (ALAV) in Sweden, participated in a recent Sollefteå Market. Around 10,000 people visited the market and many of them took away some information about the efforts made to the energy-efficient retirement home, Ärebo, which is the main object that ALAV works with in the SECURE project. The house owner of Ärebo is the public housing company Solatum.
ALAV gave visitors the opportunity to test out a specially designed bike that could show the amount of power required to switch on a halogen lamp, in comparison to a LED lamp. To light the halogen lamp visitors had to work really hard, while it was much easier to light the LED lamp.
The team at Sollefteå Market consisted of ALAV staff, representatives from Solatum, Energy and Climate Advisory from Sollefteå municipality and the project group from Ärebo.
