Strategic plans for university building energy renovation

A total of four renovation strategies were delivered with the goal of proposing recommendations for the adoption of EE and RE practices in university buildings that will enable to contribute to national and regional strategies objective. A range of possible future pathways were generated for the long term renovation of the university building stock in the Med while bringing together the technical and economic appraisal with the review of local policies.
These strategies were officially adopted, through agreements, by seven university and national decision makers. Based on these findings, the team is planning to continue the work beyond the project lifetime by increasing the scale from buildings to university campus.

Toolkit for innovative and eco-sustainable renovation processes

The Toolkit is a guideline to support university building and energy managers on planning and implementing sustainable retrofit measures within university buildings based on a collaborative approach enabling the co-creation and co-innovation of the renovation process. The process involves the university community of innovators, users, and stakeholders in exploring, experimenting and evaluating the best retrofit scenario for their university building. Two additional products are provided inside the Toolkit, supporting the central design phase with Best Practice of innovative projects in university buildings, and the Abacus guiding the selection of the most appropriate retrofit strategies, technologies and materials for the Mediterranean area.

MEDWAYCAP Interactive map

A 3D interactive map showing the territorial coverage of the good practices developed by the different projects that have worked in synergy during MEDWAYCAP. The map provides collaborative and interactive learning opportunities, offering a dynamic and engaging way to learn about the solutions developed in the different Mediterranean countries. This map is the result of a joint effort of all partners, who shared their best practices by telling their stories using the storytelling method. Have a look at the map on the homepage of the MENAWARA project.

MEDWAYCAP Itinerant Exhibition

A travelling exhibition of posters and small models realised to tell the story of proposals for managing non-conventional water resources, bringing technical solutions directly to the people. The heart of the exhibition is a collection of case studies and methodologies on the reuse of treated wastewater. Thirteen projects told through an original and sustainable apparatus. The main objective of the exhibition is to facilitate access to and the promotion of good practices in unconventional forms, taking into account the user experience.

Mediterranean Policy Document

This document focuses on the requirements for the development of policy frameworks for the application of Non-Conventional Water Resources (NCWR) solutions, promoting the outcomes of stakeholder discussions undertaken in the countries participating in the NAWAMED Project – Italy, Malta, Tunisia, Lebanon and Jordan, with a view of presenting a regional (Mediterranean) policy vision for the promotion of NCWR solutions in the region.

NAWAMED Final publication

A comprehensive document encapsulating the insights and innovations gained over the four-year duration. It focuses in particular on the description of the new measures to promote non-conventional water (NCW) uses and the innovative and available nature-based solutions (NbS) for greywater treatment and reuse, and provides a general overview of the lessons learned and possible new collaborations for the future. This publication provides a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and stakeholders interested in sustainable water solutions.

Let's not waste energy! Join SOLE ACT GREEN Campaign!

The SOLE project promotes environmental sustainability through a widespread awareness campaign targeting behavioral change to reduce energy waste. Developed by the Italian partner ARRR, the Capacity Building pack facilitates the launch of the "Act Green" campaign across partner territories and provides guidance for implementation in workplaces and daily life. The package includes detailed campaign guidelines, 10 Act Green posters in multiple languages, an introduction poster, YouTube videos with subtitles, 10 squared images for Instagram, and social media dissemination guidelines. These resources aim to engage a broad audience and maximize the campaign's impact.

GreenBuilding shares its guidelines for EU nearly Zero Energy Buildings

The goal of this manual is presented along with the definition of nearly zero energy for public building in the EU MED regions illustrating the benefits in energy consumption. These benefits include: reducing environmental impact (e.g. greenhouse gas and carbon emissions) and increasing resiliency; lower operational costs in particular the energy costs; promoting healthier and more comfortable spaces for occupants and efficiency; implementing this manual will be carried when intending to refurbish public offices; and buildings to achieve nearly zero energy consumption annually.

GreenBuilding shares its guidelines for the new/revised procedures for the energy building refurbishment of Mediterranean public buildings

The aim of his report was to identify and evaluate new and revised procedures for the building energy refurbishment, and the GreenBuilding assessed the best practices in order to compare them and produce the report to guaranteeing the gained knowledge transfer. This report covers the best practices in the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPC), like the energy simulation and energy efficiency tools in addition to cost-effective technological procedures that helps minimizing the energy consumption of a building.

D4.4.1 S MED CITIES - Set up of Local Project Committee

The purpose of this document is to incorporate the decision-making methodology into a participatory process through the setting up of Local Project Committees.
LPCs are the primary strategy for actively engaging target groups in the sustainable Med Cities project ‘Integrated tools and methodologies for sustainable Mediterranean cities’.
In addition, based on what stated in the Application Form of the project, a Local Project Committee (LPC) will be established in each participating municipality.
Local members, representing the different stakeholders interested in the Sustainable MED Cities outcomes, will compose the LPC and they will actively participate in these informal but collective working group.
