re-conceptualize shopping malls from consumerism to energy conservation (COMMONENERGY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

CommONEnergy focuses on existing shopping malls to be refurbished and buildings with a different original function, redesigned to become shopping malls. Wholesales&Retail buildings represent 28% of the total non-residential building stock (BPIE, 2010), accounting for approximately 157 Mtoe in 2005 (EU EEAP). Considering typical shopping malls high impact on modern society (ICSC, 2008), the project ...

Development of Systemic Packages for Deep Energy Renovation of Residential and Tertiary Buildings including Envelope and Systems (INSPIRE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,

Most of the energy consumption in Europe is due to heating and cooling used for domestic, tertiary and industrial purposes; This energy is largely produced by directly burning fossil fuels with a negative environmental impact. RES directive and the SET Plan focuses its attention on the use of RES to drive systems for heating and cooling in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the dependenc ...

DeepLite - LIGHT FROM THE SKY IN UNDERGROUND SPACE (DEEPLITE)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Energy efficiency policies foster innovation in lighting industry also driven by new, low energy consumption light emitting sources (LEDs). In this project we demonstrate that energy efficiency can be successfully combined to innovative lighting design and generate architectural contexts integrating illumination into spaces. On the other hand, these technologies must be carefully applied to avoid ...

Efficient ENergy for EU Cultural Heritage (3ENCULT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Mar 31, 2014,

"The project 3ENCULT bridges the gap between conservation of historic buildings and climate protection, which is not an antagonism at all: historic buildings will only survive if maintained as living space. Energy efficient retrofit is useful for structural protection as well as for comfort reasons - comfort for users and “comfort” for heritage collections.The joint task of conservation and energy ...

CoeLux: the sky light reconstruction in artificial illumination by means of solid transparent nanocomposites (CoeLux)

Start date: Dec 1, 2010, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

The quality of artificial illumination is a major concern in modern society, where living conditions often deprive us of the comfort of natural light. The global replacement of incandescent with fluorescent or white-LED lighting, foreseen owing to energy-saving constrain, will represent impoverishment in terms of colour-rendering capacity, thus raising the problem to the level of health care. In a ...

Organic LED Lighting in European Dimensions (OLED100.eu)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

The overall goal of OLED100.eu is to develop all the necessary technologies forming the basis for efficient OLED applications for the general lighting industry in Europe. The European Council has agreed to cut at least 20% in CO2 emission by 2020. Recent studies conducted by the JRC of the EC show a huge potential for saving energy by better energy efficiency. Still, some citizens are not aware t ...
