EU-funded Med-EcoSuRe has launched an online course on the evaluation of energy performance of existing university buildings for under and postgraduate students. The course is developed and conducted by the Department of Architecture and Industrial Design at the University of Campania-Italy, and involves students from the National Engineering School of Tunis (Tunisia), An Najah National University (Palestine) and University of Campania (Italy).

The online course started by presenting regulatory references and basic concepts of energy management of university buildings, with the aim to propose, by the end of the training, actions to improve the performance of the thermal systems and decrease their energy consumption.

The Med-EcoSuRe project offers an innovative approach to the definition and diffusion of cost-effective energy renovation within university buildings, with the perspective of extending results to the whole public buildings sector in the long term. A Mediterranean cross-border living lab – bringing together researchers, building managers, companies, public organisations and students – will be established to develop energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions as well as retrofitting schemes to be implemented in 9 university buildings. The final aim behind the project is to turn university managers into active players contributing to the co-creation and experimentation of emerging ideas, breakthrough scenarios and innovative concepts.
