Med-EcoSuRe
Med-EcoSuRe (Mediterranean University as Catalyst for Eco-Sustainable Renovation) is a project funded by the European Union, under the ENI CBC MED programme.
The programme is managed by the Autonomous Region of Sardinia (Italy) and aims to promote cross-border cooperation in the Mediterranean region.
Description
Low energy educational buildings are becoming the standard for new buildings in European and Mediterranean partner countries. Meanwhile, the potential of efficient renovation of existing buildings continues to be a development focus in these countries. Technical solutions are continuously proposed by universities for eco-sustainable building renovation, but there is still a gap between designed models and real world application.
MedEcoSuRe project is rooted in the key role that Mediterranean universities have to contribute to environmental development and combat climate change. The project brings together researchers and stakeholders to build a common understanding of the eco-sustainable building renovation issues and aims to empower regional knowledge-to-action process, starting by the university’s immediate neighborhood, which is the university building.
A “Living Lab” will be established to propose energy renovation solutions to university energy managers based on decision-support tools that take into account social, economic and environmental aspects.
By being the core of the project activities, the involved academics will not only produce scientific solutions adapted to real situations, but will also monitor and scale-up induced improvements.
General objective
Value and implement innovative and eco-sustainable energy renovation solutions for Mediterranean higher education institutions and introduce active collaborating approach for decision support.
Expected results
The expected results of the project are the following:
