A new edition of our Innovation and Co-creation Seminar has been held 5-8 of July for the InnoEnergy MSc Program "Renewable Energies"(RENE) with around 40 students from 17 different countries working on a “Holistic Sustainability Approach for Innovations.
The first day was dedicated to Innovation through the presentation and analysis of research projects in the three focus areas of Housing, Energy and Lifestyle.
Housing: Students got known to the innovative concepts of UPC's nearly zero energy buildings, exploring and analysing the technological concepts of the LOW3 prototype house in the fields of solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, HVAC, bioclimatic building management and energy monitoring systems, energy storage and circularity.
Besides, visits to the low-energy student residence of the campus and to the Savasco prototype building which explores low-impact building materials based on agricultural waste products, enriched the discussions on new approaches to sustainable buildings and cities.
Energy: Students got introduced into the results of the R4E - Roadmaps for Energy project (www.roadmapsforenergy.eu), getting known to the developed energy roadmaps for European partner cities in the field of Smart Buildings, Smart Urban Spaces and Smart Mobility to discuss energy transition of society in the coming decades.
Finally, students co-created in dynamic group sessions through a story-telling approach concepts for “a more sustainable urban life in 2030” focusing on innovative product and service ideas.
This ninth collaboration with the MSc Program RENE of KIC InnoEnergy confirms again that the LOW3 Living Lab offers a valuable contribution to engineer students’ education through its holistic approach to sustainability, bringing together in one place the important topics of Housing, Energy and Lifestyle.
