This week, on September 19, CommONEnergy was kindly invited by the Build UP portal to organize a webinar presenting the project in 1h30.
The partners digged into the tools and technologies developed during the 4 years the project lasted, to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of retail shops, markets and shopping centres.
The project CommONEnergy (2013-2017), funded by the European Union under the FP7 programme, focused on transforming shopping centres into energy efficient and high-indoor-environmental-quality buildings, by developing smart renovation strategies and solutions. The sub-sector of shopping centres, the only one with a renovation rate of about 4.4% per year, represents a unique trigger point to realise sustainable energy-savings solutions along the planned aesthetic renovations, as more than 60% of the shopping centre building stock will be upgraded by 2030.
The CommONEnergy webinar went through the 24 technologies installed and tested by the project in four demo cases across Europe, and presented the related benefits, such as improving comfort, reducing costs and energy consumption.
The technologies span almost all parts of shopping centres, including lighting, ventilation, refrigeration, building management systems, insulation, greenery integration and more. The tools supporting their implementation and assessing their environmental and social impact were also presented.
Finally, the demo cases (in Italy, Spain and Norway) were showcased as successful examples of the implementation of such innovative solutions and technologies.
The webinar presentations are available below as pdfs, the video recordings will shortly be available on Build UP.
- Wilmer Pasut, EURAC, introduced the project and presented solution-sets and tools
- Maarten De Groote, BPIE, presented commercial buildings in EU legislation
- Magdalena Rozanska, Acciona, presented passive solutions
- Stefano Mangili, Schneider Electric, presented active solutions
