💡 The RENOWAVE project has determined 21 #solutions to reduce the #CO2emissions in the Swiss built environment. 🏘 These solutions have been detailed in factsheets per sub-pillar, which summarize each solution's challenge, implementation and distribution. 📃 You can find the compiled version of the 21 factsheets below, as well as individual factsheets on the RENOWAVE website under the description of each sub-pillar: https://lnkd.in/dG_3ssHW ❓ Does the RENOWAVE project start to have less secrets to you? _______ With Pierre Hollmuller, Daniel Philippen, lionel rinquet, Matthias Haase, Timo Oliveri, Corinna Baumgartner, Marvin King, Anton Sentić, Constantin Kempf, PhD, Justus Gallati, Florian Habermacher, Philipp Klauser, Marcel Ruegg At University of Geneva - Energy, Faculty of Science | University of Geneva, Université de Genève, HSLU Hochschule Luzern, HSLU – Institut für Betriebs- und Regionalökonomie IBR, HSLU – Institut für Gebäudetechnik und Energie IGE, HES-SO Haute école spécialisée de Suisse occidentale, OST – Ostschweizer Fachhochschule, ZHAW School of Engineering, ZHAW IFM Institut für Facility Management, Empa, Empa - Structural Engineering Research Laboratory, swisscleantech, Keller AG Ziegeleien, SIG, Innosuisse

Thrilled to share my entry for the StaSIO Competition! This analysis was carried out during the EECOM (Communications for Energy Efficiency Business) course as part of my M.Tech in Building Energy Performance at CEPT University. My analysis is focused on a G+2 building situated in a composite climate, how the building's massing and orientation influence Total heat gains. By understanding these factors, Decisions on optimal placement of buildings in Site during the early design stages can be taken. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also leads to significant cost savings over the building's lifespan. The insights gained from this investigation are crucial for Architects and Designers aiming to create energy-efficient buildings. By strategically positioning the building and considering its massing, we can minimize heat gains, reduce the need for Air conditioning, and ultimately lower energy consumption. #MTech #CEPTUniversity #BuildingEnergyPerformance #ECBC #SustainableDesign #EffectiveCommunication #BuildingEfficiency #EnergyConservation #ProjectStasio #EECOM

Dive into our latest opinion article by Diana Guardado, Innovation Project Manager at 🇮🇪 F6S Innovation, on the role of science communication. 📰 In this piece, Diana clarifies what science communication entails and emphasizes its importance in engaging the greater public, exploring effective strategies for making scientific information accessible and highlighting best practices being implemented in the SNUG project. 🌱 At SNUG, we are dedicated to bridging the gap between scientific research and the public. As part of our mission, we aim to empower architects and builders to select optimal thermal #insulation materials for both new and existing buildings, minimizing their #carbonfootprint and maximising their #energyefficiency.

Last month (June 17-19), our partner Centre for Renewable Energy Sources and Saving (CRES) participated in the 5th Symposium on Circular Economy and Sustainability in 🇬🇷Chania. This conference aims to bridge the gap between engineering, management and economic knowledge, supporting the advancement of #circular and #sustainability principles. Spyros Karytsas delivered a presentation on CRES’ work within the SNUG project, titled: “𝘌𝘹𝘢𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘦𝘯𝘥-𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘳𝘴' 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘱𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘪𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘭 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴”. The presentation highlighted: 📚 key insights from a literature review of existing research; 📋 main findings from a survey they have carried out to examine end-users' attitudes and perceptions regarding #insulation material requirements; 🧱 how these will be used to assist building component manufacturers in developing innovative construction products. #SNUGproject #GreenConstruction #HorizonEurope #ClimateAction AIDIMME.

When deciding on the energy planning of districts, it is often unclear what energy supply options are available and how different technology options influence the outcomes, including demand reduction through energy renovation. 💻 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁? Using Sympheny, a new planning and optimization software, our research partner ZHAW IFM Institut für Facility Management (IFM) has analyzed a district in Dinhard, Switzerland. Four different scenarios were developed, focusing on annual life cycle costs (LCC) and CO2 emissions. The results were categorized and compared, showing a potential CO2 reduction of up to 90%, with varying LCCs. 🚀 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸!

A little pinch me moment! I was thrilled to present my thesis research at the recent IMechE events, “H2: ICE – The Engine of the Future?” and “EV Batteries: Electrified Vehicle Engineering.” These conferences offered an amazing insight on how leading experts are collaborating and having the difficult discussions to try and achieve a more sustainable future. 🌍 My work focuses on tackling one of the critical sectors for decarbonisation: power generation. Specifically, exploring the conversion of LPG-powered generators to operate on a hydrogen-ammonia fuel blend. This innovative approach aims to make power generation cleaner and more sustainable by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, leveraging existing machinery, and ultimately contributing to global net-zero goals. A huge thank you to Chloe Sarson & Alissa Hyde from the IMechE Events and Training for the opportunity to share my findings and for fostering a space for collaboration and innovation. Together, we’re driving change toward a cleaner, more resilient future. 🌱⚙️ #IMechE #HydrogenAmmoniaFuel #NetZero #SustainableEnergy #PowerGeneration #Decarbonization #EngineeringInnovation #CleanEnergy
