High energy efficiency schools in Mediterranean Area: Multi-issues platform as interactive Network for technical regulations management, technologies’ data base and best practice dissemination activity
The project is located in Italy, Greece, Spain and Cyprus and it aims at improving secondary existing schools energy efficiency, trough the implementation of a common Strategy based on the 3 typical climatic models that characterize the MED area: coast, mountain and city. The main activities are: - Realisation of Energy schools Audits, End users Surveys and Benchmark - Redaction of an Action Plan - Concept Design for 12 Pilot Projects, also through the organisation of 3 thematic workshops and 1 international Campus that involves experts, designers, students, enterprises and decision makers - Creation of a virtual platform that works as an interactive operational tool and will: provide information by which the energy schools performances can be compared; collect and catalogue laws, best practises and existing technologies; contain the Guidelines of the MED Strategy for energy management; be addressed to local authorities and decision makers, schools, technicians, private operators and all citizens interested in the construction sector and energy issues - Diffusion and capitalisation actions directed also to “raise awareness” on new energy techniques use, cost reduction and international standards and – in medium long term – to integrate and improve the energies policies and rules in the MED area and Europe The Pilot Projects necessarily refer to a local level as the main tools for testing and standardizing the transnational Strategy
