The EU-funded EQUBUILD project presents novel architectural design strategies for enhancing societal equality in cities: an interdisciplinary case study approach to Swedish public buildings.
This report provides some insights into Renewable Heating and Colling (RHC) research & innovation. It indicates a clear trend towards cross-cutting technologies, sector coupling, and integrated or hybrid systems, as well as a greater inclusion of and cooperation with other renewable technologies.
In the time when energy generation for building user consumption is in the center of european research to avoid energy dependance, the EU-funded FlexSNG project proposes to develop a flexible and cost-effective gasification-based process to generate pipeline-quality biomethane, high-value biochar and renewable heat from low-quality biomass residues and biogenic waste.
REFFECT AFRICA tackles the development of renewable energy sources, providing solutions for on-grid and off-grid communities, and their integration into the existing energy system.
REPLACE Heating Matrices can help building occupants to decide on which heating system to install once they decide to renovate. The matrix can show which type based on renewable energy sources or a connection to district heating. The type of system would also depend on the thermal quality of the building.
The project MICAT has developed a tool which can support decision-makers, such as public authorities and practitioners, in conducting analysis for different data and policy scenarios. This would help to assess the implementation of energy efficiency measures.
