Are curious to know who are the 12 candidates as Energy Efficiency Leaders for the Roger Léron Awards 2022? All of them have made a big impact concerning energy transition at the local, regional, and European level.

syn.ikia project shares their summer edition of the newsletter with the latest news, reports, past and upcoming events. The main mission of the project is to increase the share of sustainable neighbourhoods with surplus renewable energy in different contexts, climates and markets in Europe.

The REVEAL project, supported by Horizon Europe and the government of Switzerland, develops a new technical solution for storing large amounts of energy with an energy storage density of more than 15 MWh/m3 at low cost for the production of heat and electricity in winter.

As the EU-funded RES4BUILD project enters its final year, two pilot systems will undergo testing to investigate and fine-tune the project’s integrated energy solutions. With the recent focus on reducing dependence on external fossil fuels and accelerating the green transition in the European Union (REPowerEU Plan), RES4BUILD hopes its research can support the move to a clean energy future. The project is developing integrated renewable energy-based solutions tailored to the needs of users and installers with the aim of increasing uptake of such solutions for heating and cooling in buildings.

The walls are the accent and strength of every commercial building. It is the area where you usually install wall access panels to protect crucial components.  With the growing pollution and environmental deterioration, experts are looking for more ways to minimize these effects. Recently, you may have seen a trend in green buildings because it helps create a cleaner way of helping the environment.  

Green building is an environmentally friendly alternative as many industries develop further and the world's supply of finite resources gradually becomes scarcer and more costly. It is now a necessary step as more people realize their impact on nature. Fortunately, sustainable technology is becoming more advanced and can offer more benefits.  

Builders are challenging construction site pollution by increasing project efficiencies. Construction downtime may limit job site sustainability and negatively impact the environment. Individuals can minimize downtime to improve ecological conservation.

Offsite construction and standardised process in building can drive the sustainability targets, even though there is still resistance in the sector. In fact, offsite construction can lead to faster, cheaper, safer and greener deliveries, and also to higher creativity and versatility in the processes.

Digitalisation and Energy Performance Certification (EPC) support the EU Renovation Wave. Three projects (QualDeEPC, CrossCERT and MATRYCS) presented their recommendations and tools during a FEDARENE General Assemblies.

In this newsletter, we invite you to discover the extension of the D2GRIDS project, the news and events of the sector, and expert insights about the development potential of 5th generation heating and cooling network.
