ESMES Implementation Tool for SEM measures
The ESMES project aimed to improve the capacity of 5 public institutions in order to implement innovative energy rehabilitations. In a typical school, energy distribution can be attributed to five main categories: lighting, cooling, space heating, water heating, other. Of those energy uses, lighting and cooling systems draw the most energy, with space heating following closely. Although the numbers vary by climate zone, the results from this analysis provide a generalized summary of the systems with the largest opportunity for energy savings: lighting, HVAC, and water heating. This document illustrates low cost or no cost energy management operations and maintenance practices for the major systems within school buildings. When available, general information on energy efficiency considerations for retrofits or major renovations is also provided.
ESMES Decision Support Tool for school rehabilitation planning
This document is a Decision Support Tool (SDT) for school rehabilitation planning and the reduction of the energy consumption in public school buildings in the five countries involved in the ESMES project (Italy, Jordan, Spain, Tunisia, Lebanon), based on most suitable renewable energy and energy efficiency (REEE) solutions tested in the project for building type and use, climatic zone and estimation of potential impact.

The planned pilots for biowaste processing have been implemented according to the Life Cycle Thinking approach and breaking down the process into different phases. The development of capacities along with job insertion and the engagement of local entities aimed to ensure sustainability beyond the project duration.
This toolkit is organised into four chapters: the chapter 1 delves into the SIRCLES model for biowaste, highlighting its importance and potential in achieving circularity; chapter 2 analyses the work context and methodology, providing insights into the research environment and the methods employed in the study; chapter 3 includes a section on the pilots conducted by SIRCLES, presenting the lessons learned from these practical implementations. Finally, chapter 4 offers potential future scenarios and proposes policy measures that can support and enhance the implementation of the SIRCLES model in various contexts.
CEOMED Online market place
The online market place is one of the main results of CEOMED project. This online, high-resolution Anaerobic Digestion (AD) large scale piloting framework will be used as a help for decision making tool by public and private stakeholders in the valorisation of the organic fraction of waste with the agronomical use of digestate in a circular model. This framework will deliver the optimal technology and configuration to produce two products from the organic fraction of waste:
1) biogas produced by the AD;
2) the fertilizer from the digestate produced by the AD process.
A Digestate Calculator for determining the amount of digestate as fertilizer to be used for specific crops has been developed. Furthermore, a mathematical model has been developed and deployed in an IT tool to regulate microbial competition and maximize COD degradation and biomethane yield. Users will be able to simulate their Anaerobic Digestion process through this tool and analyze the results as a help in the making decision process on circular organic waste management. Additionally, the business model on organic waste valorization will be set with a marketplace to connect any potential stakeholder. The online, high-resolution AD piloting framework will be deployed for free in English, Arab, and French in order to maximize the CEOMED approach along the Mediterranean basin.

FFN-ii: Field Data Collection and Digitalization of All Sites
The objective of this activity was to collect, study and deliver the field data required for the establishment and operation of the two Location Aware (LA) prototypes, namely the OliveFlyNet for Olive fruit fly and the MedFlyNet for Mediterranean fruit fly, in the 8 wide-area sites (Olive: AUA, UCO, LARI, IO, Peaches: UNIMOL, CRRHAB, Citrus: AUA). This is the last updated deliverable. In the sites, a revision of the field elements has been performed with ground truth to verify the digitized field data. The maps have been updated and produced accordingly. The use of mobile GIS for the collection of field data is also described.
FFN-ii: Location Aware System Deployment in the two Experimental Sites
The objective of this output is to provide information about the various tasks that took place during the 2nd cultivation period (Semesters V-VI) in the two experimental sites of the project aiming to verify the good performance of the e-traps, as well as to test the new functionalities and ensure the good operation of the e-services in the large-area sites. To accomplish the full deployment of the Location Aware (LA) products, the olive and Med e-traps were tested in both sites to satisfy all the evaluation criteria set for the full operation. Noteworthy, the OliveFlyNet was tested in Greece by the Agricultural University of Athens (AUA) and the MedFlyNet in Italy by the University of Molise (UNIMOL). The results for both types of the e-traps tested in the two experimental fields showed very good performance in terms of battery charge level and signal reception.
The e-services of adults’ population distribution map, infestation risk map and spray density map creation were tested by AUA in its experimental site to validate its functionalities in the new environment. A new e-service was developed and tested regarding the automatic digitalization of trees, that is an e-service which facilitates the implementation of the system. An additional e-service which gives the ability to the system to identify the optimum position for placing each trap in each area with olive groves was developed and tested too, so that to rationalize the approaches used. The two new e-services were implemented successfully whereas the updated software was able to produce all the different kind of maps required for the full implementation of the LA e-services.
Finally, a detection and count machine learning test for the case med fruit fly pest was also studied by UNIMOL. Tests related to the automatic recognition of medfly catches in the e-trap were also conducted and showed a very food response.
FFN-ii: Project Demonstrations
FrutFlyNet-ii project deployed, optimized, operated, and demonstrated the two Location Aware (LA) prototypes, namely the OliveFlyNet for Olive fruit fly and the MedFlyNet for Mediterranean fruit fly, in the 8 wide-area sites (Olive: AUA, UCO, UNIMOL, LARI, IO, Peaches: UNIMOL, CRRHAB, Citrus: AUA. One of the most important task of the project was to perform a number of demonstration events (on average two demos per site). These were as follows: 3 demos were realized by AUA (Greece), 2 by UCO, (Spain), 2 by UNIMOL (Italy), 5 by LARI (Lebanon), 2 by IO (Tunisia) and 1 by CRRHAB (Tunisia). Noteworthy, that some of the demos of the partners AUA, LARI and IO were closely related with the Living Labs activities on e-trap innovations (LL1) and on e-services advances (LL2). Skill development evaluations via training during each demonstration were provided. Presentations, issues faced, suggestions collected from the stakeholders’ feedback, questionnaires, instruction guides, participants' lists, were also performed. Questionnaires' results about the suitability of LAS and its products obtained from the farmers/producers who were participated in the activities and used the system provided a fine Source of Verification (SoV) for the project outputs acceptability. Questioners, distributed at the end of the lifespan of the project reported positive, negative, neutral opinions, criticism, and possible adaptations. However, their feedback is generally more than encouraging.
