Introduction to Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a financing mechanism used to support energy efficiency measures and renewable energy installations without worrying about financial barriers. In an EPC contract, the energy service company (ESCO) is committed to provide guaranteed energy improvements to the customer’s territory while the finances are covered from the achieved energy savings.

BEEP video story: How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
BEEP project aimed at strengthening the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance energy efficiency in buildings. The testing of this emerging technology on built heritage was performed to demonstrate its scalability to the entire building stock. The project provided public administrations with a powerful method for the energy rehabilitation of public buildings to be supported with private funds through the Energy Performance Contracting. The project main was an innovative methodology based on the integration of emerging technologies tested on 9 heritage public buildings located in Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.
BEEP Guide (extended version): How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
This guidelines’ document aims to enhance the capacity of public local administrations to design, and realise innovative energy and environmental improvement on historic public buildings, through a multidisciplinary and integrated digital approach (using Building Information Modelling and performance-based design to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model - EE-HBIM). The guideline is based on the testing of this emerging technology on built heritage in eight different EU and non EU Mediterranean countries to demonstrate its scalability to the entire building stock of the Med area. The project will provide public administrations with a powerful method for the energy rehabilitation of public buildings to be supported with private funds through the Energy Performance Contracting (EPC).
BEEP Guide: How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
This technical guideline proposes a methodology for the energy audit of a historical building to support its energy and environmental improvement, from the analyses to the design stage up to the implementation, using Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) to attract funding. Each section of the guideline can also be used as a technical specification for tender activities.
YEP MED Development of New Curricula Materials
The proposed approach aims to implement complementary/additional VET courses within the existing institutional framework to achieve concrete results in a shorter period of time. These courses are developed after analysing the labour market skills gaps and in cooperation with public and private stakeholders to respond quickly to urgent needs (quick impact). This deliverable contains the training programs developed and adapted for implementation in the different participating Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED Placement in Companies Strategy
This deliverable serves as a showcase of the strategies adopted by the YEP MED project to promote the placement in companies of the project's trainees, specifically by Partner nº3 , the Beirut Chamber of Commerce, Industry, and Agriculture. The strategies aim at boosting the employability of participants through methods such as job fairs, coaching sessions, and a digital job platform.
YEP MED Training of Trainers and Talent Program
This deliverable contains the documentation related to the Training of Trainers (ToT) and Talent activities carried out by the Lead Beneficiary (BEN) within the YEP MED project. Both types of activities involved participants from all of the project’s Port Logistic Communities (PLC). While ToTs were crucial to ensure that each PLC had well prepared trainers, the Talent programme offered a unique opportunity for students and teachers/mentors from each PLC to further their knowledge and skills and create long-lasting international connections. Additionally to the scheduled ToTs, BEN offered individual support and additional support to the partners’ whenever further training was required to carry out the courses throughout the project. The names of participants have been eliminated from this public version of the deliverable for privacy reasons.
YEP MED Identification of Professional Profiles
These deliverables contribute to further precising at a regional scale the professional profiles in the fields of transport and logistics that cannot be covered or that have growth potential. An analysis of sub-sectors identified and labor market needs is developed to attain this. The present studies refer to the Barcelona, Civitavecchia, Beirut, Valencia, and Aqaba Port Logistics Communities.
YEP MED ERP for Simulated Companies
This deliverable provides an overview of the educational module developed within the Click and Cargo Entreprise Resource Planning (ERP) for the conduction of the YEP MED international trade training courses. It showcases the functionalities and most important features of the platform, which has revolutionized the way of training students in the field of freight forwarding and logistics operations. Simulation ensures a practical, hands-on experience, better preparing users to successfully incorporate the workforce.
