The Royal Scientific Society (RSS) participated in a joint Euro-Mediterranean
workshop titled “Innovation and impact: good practices in energy efficiency for
buildings in Mediterranean cities”, organized by three flagship European
projects, namely SEACAP 4 SDG, MeetMED and Efficient Buildings Community,
according to Jordan News Agency, Petra.

The online workshop addressed mainly decision
makers, local authorities as well as local, regional and national energy
agencies, and was an opportunity to present a panorama of replicable tools and
methodologies in the field of energy efficiency for buildings.
The RSS said in a press release Saturday that six
working groups were formed during the online workshop where participants from
beneficiary countries, including Jordan, discussed and explored the needs of
their cities and investigated the transferability and concrete application of
the proposed solutions at territorial level.
Moreover, RSS participated in the online launching
of the SEACAP 4 SDG project that aims to find innovative solutions and tools to
reduce energy consumption in public buildings through cost-effective approaches
to energy refurbishment, integrating sustainable energy access and climate
action plans, and innovative support mechanisms for cities.
RSS mentioned that SEACAP 4 SDG project will work on
the inputs and outcomes of 14 selected reference projects financed within
different EU Initiatives (ENI CBCMED, INTERREG MED, UfM), identifying
characteristics to be generalized and adapting gained knowledge to maximize
efficiency and effectiveness of energy refurbishment strategies adapted to
local Mediterranean specificities.
RSS stated that these outputs and outcomes will be
implemented in nine cities around the Mediterranean (selected through a call
for interest to be launched in March 2022).
RSS indicated that there will be a specific
capacity-building mechanism and training activities to support the selected
cities in adapting and implementing the tools and methodologies for further
replication and capitalization.
The project is led by Euromed Cities Network/Nice Côte
d’Azur Metropolis (France) and in partnership with the Arab Academy for
Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) in Egypt, University of
Patras in Greece, Naples Agency for Energy and Environment (ANEA) in Italy,
Lebanese Center for Energy Conservation (LCEC), Institut de Recerca en Energia
de Catalunya (IREC) in Spain, Institut Valencia de l’Edificacio (IVE) in Spain,
Mediterranean Renewable Energy Centre (MEDREC) as well as the Royal Scientific
Society/National Energy Research Centre in Jordan.
