USE Efficiency October 2011 activities
Wednesday, 02 November 2011

The biggest happening of the month at HCU was the meeting with the summer school students on the 26 October. Five (out of ten) HCU students attended the meeting with Prof. Dietrich and Ms Sonja Schelbach to discuss about the summer school. Altogether the feedback was very positive, and students would definitely attend such a summer school again. They most liked and enjoyed the diversity of the cultures and backgrounds. Though they suggested some improvements like only 5 days were dedicated to work on the projects and students would have liked to have much more time for that and less time for lectures.

Following the decisions of the last project meeting in Aarhus, Denmark, the AUTH USE Efficiency team started the dissemination campaign to other Universities in Greece and in neighboring countries. On October 11-13, 2011 a visit in Cyprus took place where the USE Efficiency project and its outcomes were presented by students and professors from the University of Cyprus and from Frederick University.

The AUTH team consisted of Prof. G. Papagiannis and Dr. Th. Papadopoulos, both involved in the USE Efficiency project. The project and the overall background have been presented in 3 presentations, as well as a short film from the Valencia summer school. The first presentation by Prof. G. Papagiannis dealt with the EU energy policy, the energy saving potential in buildings, the EPBD and its implementation, the barriers and the role of the Intelligent Energy Europe programme, the presentation of the USE Efficiency project, the milestones achieved so far and the targets reached. In the 2nd presentation, Dr. Th. Papadopoulos presented in more details the specific work that has been done in AUTH and in the other participating Universities, regarding the first level audit, the selection of buildings, the training courses and the 2nd level audits by the students. The 3rd presentation by Prof. G. Papagiannis was about the Valencia Summer School, starting from the targets and going on through the actual work that has been achieved in the summer school, till the results obtained and the overall evaluation. The presentation ended with a 2 minute short film about the Valencia USE Eff summer school.
