Demonstration at industrial scale of the FLeXible manufacturing of SMART multifunctional photovoltaic building elements (SMART-FLEX)

Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) is a promising area while it is still considered as a novelty dedicated only to exclusive construction. However, BIPV potential is much greater and many more solutions could be developed and BIPV could become a broadly accepted technology if the main barriers, hindering the market deployment are overcome.SMART-FLeX consortium aims to address the identified ...

Demonstration of high EFFiciency Stirling HEAT pump (EFFIHEAT-DEMO)

Start date: Apr 1, 2014, End date: Mar 31, 2016,

The need of innovative solutions for buildings heating and air-conditioning systems is driven by economical and environmental concerns, which are strongly supported by EU Directives. Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union . The sector is expanding, which is bound to increase its energy consumption. Therefore, reduction of energy consumption and the use of energ ...

Competitive stationary low concentrating solar module of novel design (SOLGAIN)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The achievement of the goals of the European energy and climate change policy necessitates the development and deployment of a diverse portfolio of low carbon energy technologies. In 2010, photovoltaic (PV) technology was the leading renewable energy technology in terms of capacity growth in Europe. But for reaching the main sectorial target: “up to 15% of the EU electricity will be generated by s ...

Development of high EFFiciency Stirling HEAT pump (EFFiHEAT)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2013,

Buildings account for 40% of total energy consumption in the European Union and the sector is expanding. Therefore, reduction of its energy consumption (by 20% by 2020) and the use of energy from renewable sources constitute important measures needed to reduce EU energy dependency and greenhouse gas emissions. A significant number of buildings must become energy positive integrating renewable ener ...

Pheromone-based sensor system for detecting estrus in dairy cows (BOVINOSE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2009, End date: May 31, 2011,

"In order to control the calving interval, and therefore to optimise milk production and maximise offspring in dairy cattle, artificial insemination (AI) is widely used. Currently, the conception rate of AI varies from 30% to 70%, the most critical aspect of successful conception being the timing of the insemination. Highest conception rates are achieved when the insemination is done 8 to 12 hours ...
