Project Goals

• to analyze energy efficiency in university buildings and create a common scenario among different European climatic zones;

• to improve energy performance of University buildings, through technical and not technical actions;

• to promote Universities as shining examples in EU geographical areas;

• to increase EU and cross-national knowledge on EPA (Energy Performance Assessments) methodologies and tools;

• to use and promote past EU projects to technical, professional and student level;

• to train students as future market actors, from the very beginning of their technical development;

• to involve students in a realistic implementation activity on energy saving plan;

• to improving relationships among students, professors and technicians;

• to benefit from student raising awareness which can have family and social level effect;

• to encourage cooperation among students from different countries on energy issues;

• to foster an exchange of information and experiences between education establishment and experts on energy efficiency training programs and methods;

• Creation of common scenarios among universities giving an overview on university building situation;

• Collection of EPA methodologies to select those suited better for building energy audit;

• Relationships between students and professional technicians, during training course, through classes, and in particular implementing EPA activities in team-work, as a real job experience;

• Improvement of energy performances on university buildings, as a result of EPAs made by students supported by technicians;

• More skilled students, future market players, because of the participation in a realistic implementation activity on energy saving plan;

• Exchange of information and experiences among project key actors and students. Interaction with technicians and professor is a fundamental step for young people to succeed in their future job;

• Best-practice energy solutions and training programs dissemination among partners’ countries;

• Increase of cross-national knowledge. Universities are reference points for different people (students, professors, user connected to University system), for other national or international Universities that are not project partners, and for other professional categories, such as architects, engineers, wholesalers and installers of energy efficiency systems.
