The event, organised by the City of Rumia, attracted more than 30 participants interested in the social and technical challenges of private multi-apartment buildings. Participants included municipal officials, housing cooperative boards, property managers, homeowners&#8217; associations, local councillors, neighbouring municipalities, the district heating company, financial institutions supporting building renovation, social welfare services, and NGOs. On behalf of the Municipality of Rumia, the event was organised by Marzena Pranga-Cyman, Ewa Lenczowska, Alina Labudda and Alicja Wiczling, while Jan Frankowski, Aleksandra Prusak and Joanna Mazurkiewicz from IBS supported its preparation and facilitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first part of the workshop featured presentations by invited speakers, including the latest findings from the LOCATEE Project. The key messages included:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rumia has an ageing stock of multi-apartment buildings. About one-quarter of residents received energy allowance, while 7% received social assistance in 2024. As part of the project, 45 buildings were identified as being at the highest risk of energy poverty (Jan Frankowski, IBS);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Carrying out an energy audit is highly recommended, as it is required for most preferential funding schemes, including those supported by Pomeranian Development Fund (Robert \u015apiewakowski, Regional Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management in Gda\u0144sk);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Renovation projects should be complemented by measures that improve residents&#8217; comfort and the overall appearance of buildings, as this increases public acceptance and engagement (Konstancja Zi\u00f3\u0142kowska, Forum Energii).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Thermomodernisation and renovation bonuses remain the most attractive financial instruments available through commercial banks (Monika Ciechomska, Bank BNP Paribas);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A highly effective intervention is the balancing, venting, and flushing of a building&#8217;s heating system, which can substantially reduce energy losses (\u0141ukasz Bia\u0142opiotrowicz, OPEC district heating company);<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The energy transition should primarily take place at the energy supply source, as this is considered the most socially equitable approach and should be the first priority for public investment (Zbigniew Antochowski, Janowo Housing Cooperative).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the interactive workshop session, participants mapped areas where social and housing-related challenges overlap, drawing on their local knowledge. They also discussed the main barriers to renovation investments identified throughout the LOCATEE project. In Rumia, participants highlighted the following obstacles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the lack of sufficiently attractive financial support currently available on the market;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>difficulties in collective decision-making within homeowners&#8217; associations;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>regulatory and economic uncertainty, affecting investment decisions, expected returns, and access to financing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56897\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia6.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia4-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56891\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7499999716730412;width:297px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia4-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia4-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia4-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/rumia4.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second workshop session focused on identifying which municipal interventions targeting private multi-apartment buildings are both effective and feasible. Participants agreed that the following measures have the greatest potential:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>establishing a local contact point providing renovation advice, model documents, and information on available funding opportunities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>appointing a facilitator or mediator to support homeowners&#8217; associations in decision-making processes;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>implementing large-scale information campaigns on available financial support.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One particularly engaging discussion concerned whether municipalities should recommend reliable building contractors. While many residents see such recommendations as desirable and helpful, local authorities also recognised the potential risk of compromising their impartiality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The workshop helped consolidate local knowledge of areas affected by energy poverty while providing valuable insights into stakeholders&#8217; expectations regarding the future one-stop shop and the LOCATEE Energy Poverty Monitoring System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The event was organised as part of the LIFE LOCATEE&nbsp;project, co-funded by the European Union through the LIFE Programme.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":56885,"template":"","news_type":[287],"class_list":["post-56900","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news_type-energy-and-climate"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Second LOCATEE stakeholder workshop in Rumia - IBS - Instytut Bada\u0144 Strukturalnych<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/en\/news\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Second LOCATEE stakeholder workshop in Rumia - IBS - Instytut Bada\u0144 Strukturalnych\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"On 19 June 2026, the Second Round Table on Energy Efficiency and Energy Poverty was held in Rumia as part of the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/en\/news\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"IBS - Instytut Bada\u0144 Strukturalnych\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-06-30T09:13:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/ibs.org.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Rumia-photo-LIFE.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1920\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1280\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/\",\"name\":\"Second LOCATEE stakeholder workshop in Rumia - IBS - Instytut Bada\u0144 Strukturalnych\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Rumia-photo-LIFE.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2026-06-22T08:51:47+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-06-30T09:13:19+00:00\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Rumia-photo-LIFE.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2026\\\/06\\\/Rumia-photo-LIFE.jpg\",\"width\":1920,\"height\":1280},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/news\\\/second-locatee-stakeholder-workshop-in-rumia\\\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Second LOCATEE stakeholder workshop in Rumia\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/ibs.org.pl\\\/en\\\/\",\"name\":\"IBS - Instytut Bada\u0144 Strukturalnych\",\"description\":\"Jeste\u015bmy niezale\u017cn\u0105 fundacj\u0105 naukow\u0105.
