  4. First simulations reveal up to 70% savings from value chain optimisation – A study by Greenovate! Europe reveals hidden resource efficiency possibilities of up to 70% of resource costs through optimisation of the entire manufacturing value chain.
  5. Boosting sustainable construction through public procurement – As part of the ECOPOL project, LandesEnergieVerein Steiermark has produced a guide for public procurement policies that stimulate uptake of sustainable construction and refurbishment.
  6. EU-GUGLE – Sustainable Renovation Models for Smarter Cities – EU-GUGLE will test nearly-zero energy building renovation models at the district level, aiming to achieve 40-80% energy savings per pilot district, whilst increasing the share of renewable energy sources by 25%.
  7. ETFE-MFM – PV integrated ETFE for architectural facade lighting – ETFE-MFM will develop, evaluate and demonstrate an ETFE module with integrated photovoltaics, LED technologies and flexible circuits. 
  8. ECO-SEE – Improving the indoor environment of energy efficient buildings –  ECO-SEE will create natural eco-materials for healthier indoor environments through hygrothermal regulation and removal of airborne contaminants through chemical capture and photocatalysis.
  9. CENTRAL EUROPE Study on Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy – A Greenovate! Europe Study has found that transnational energy projects substantially assist central European regions to adapt their regional energy policies and highlights some of the most outstanding tools created by the Programme’s projects.
  10. WASTECOSMART – Improving resource efficiency in European regions – WASTECOSMART aims to strengthen the innovation capacity of regional research-driven clusters in resource efficiency.
  11. MeeFS – Multifunctional Energy Efficient Façade System for Buildings Retrofitting – The MeeFS project aims to develop and demonstrate an innovative multifunctional façade system for improving energy efficient building retrofitting.
  12. SINFONIA – Low Carbon Cities for Better Living – The SINFONIA Smart Cities project will demonstrate large-scale, integrated and scalable energy solutions in pioneer districts in Innsbruck and Bolzano by retrofitting more than 100,000 m2 of living surface, optimising the electricity grid and using district heating and cooling technologies.
  13. Member Focus – C-Tech Innovation – Since its foundation in 2001 C-Tech Innovation has grown to be a UK leader in helping clients to generate innovative, sustainable and profitable products and services.
