The main objective is to create a sustainable economy on communal basis by raising the level of efficiency.
consideration of all fields relevant in terms of energy (energy supply, waste management, mobility, planning, housing); clearly set goals to improve energy efficiency; creating networks for the communal stakeholders (politics, administration, citizens); exchange of experience between the involved communities; qualification and support of communal stakeholders; regular internal and external monitoring; certification of communities depending on their success ( depending on the degree of implementation up to 5 "e")
