An online training course has been successfully conducted, by the Department of Architecture of the University of Campania “L. Vanvitelli, in collaboration with the Naples Agency for Energy and Environment, on “Energy Efficiency Action Plan in the Higher Education Building Sector”.

The course which lasted for 4 months provided over 50 students, from the project partners’ universities, with knowledge and skills on renovation strategies for university buildings, while carrying out theoretical lessons and practical workshops.

In the framework of the course, the students analyzed three case studies which are the pilot buildings at the National Engineering School of Tunis (ENIT), University of Florence (UNIFI) and An Najah National University (ANNU). The students proposed renovation passive solutions to meet nearly zero energy buildings requirements, of the university buildings analyzed.

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.
