GEOTHERMAL HEATING & COOLING PILOT PROJECT

Description of the project:

The pilot project is located in Ramallah, Palestine.

The aim of the pilot project is exploitation of Earth Power (Geothermal)

to deliver heating and cooling to residential buildings and popularization on

 the other public buildings.

This technology is considering one of the most energy

efficient and environmentally friendly, which is

equivalent to taking 2 cars off the road, or planting

 an acre of trees.

Funding of the project:

Energy Efficiency in the Construction Sector in the Mediterranean MED-ENEC.

Integration of solar technologies into buildings in Mediterranean communities. SOLAR-BUILD

Description of the project:

The project will analyse measures for the integration of solar energy systems – active, passive and photovoltaic – into buildings in Mediterranean communities to meet their cooling, electricity and heat needs. The focus will be on buildings used by public communities in rural settlements, including schools, primary health care facilities, small hospitals, local authority buildings. The analysis will pay attention to social, cultural, and economic factors as well as technology. The project will promote exchange of experience between relevant professional fields and the transfer and adaption of experience from within EU to Mediterranean countries. Results and guidance will be disseminated to target audiences – architects, energy sector, authorities/administrations (local government, education, health), local influencers such as energy/environment/social centres.

Funding of the project:

The Mediterranean Association of the National Agencies for Energy Conservation (MEDENER) and the Union of Mediterranean Architects (UMAR)
