Our Energy Projects, Theses, Papers
crossCert EU Project: Towards reliable, practical, and people-centred European energy performance certification of buildings
crossCert is a Horizon 2020 project that will contribute to develop the next generation of Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) by cross testing existing and upcoming EPC methodologies across the EU.
SOFT-SOLAIRE: Developing simplified models for hybrid solar panels
Accurate prediction of hybrid PVT solar panel performance
3GSol – Solar hybrid PVT collectors with trigeneration for the food-processing industry
Development of a cost-competitive solution for the simultaneous generation of electricity, heating and cooling with solar energy, based on the integration of solar hybrid PVT collectors with cooling technologies.
PrioritEE: Prioritise energy efficiency measures in public buildings
In PrioritEE we cooperate with 12 other European partners in the development of decision support tools for local authorities to enhance the energy efficiency of public municipal buildings. GFN supports a pilot application to the Teruel province in Spain.
