INNOMED

Project duration                 2023-2025

Project website            https://nuct.edu.jo/innomed/

Short description

The purpose of the research project is to pool resources and strengthen collaboration among enterprises and Higher Education Institutions with a view to developing courses on Advanced Green Energy Technologies for Green Buildings also considering possible climate change impact, by means of adaptive learning and teaching methods. INNOMED will also promote regional collaboration by delivering courses which can be accepted and delivered by all interested stakeholders in the region. Through virtual classes employing fresh learning methodologies and pedagogical approaches, young students from various countries in the region (including rural districts) will communicate, become actively involved and benefit from distance learning practices. Target groups include Mechanical Engineers, Environmental Engineers, Chemical Engineers, Electrical Engineers, Architectural Engineers, and Agriculture Engineers.

Participants: Universita del Salento, University of Jordan, National University College of Technology, Universite Mohammed V de Rabat, Universite Cadi Ayyad, University of Cyprus, Universitaet Innsbruck, NTUA

Evaluation of Energy Systems

Measurements, energy assessment and design optimization of cooling systems.

Evaluation of Heating-Cooling System designed by HEPTAPOLIS GREEN ENERGY SOLUTIONS LTD

Measurements, energy assessment and design optimization of Heptapolis cooling system.

Project duration 2018

Short description

The project involved the experimental investigation of a terminal cooling device which provides cooling inside residential and office spaces. In parallel, the TRNSYS simulation program was utilized to investigate the possibility of integrating this system into buildings throughout Greece.

Energy assessment of office building

Project duration 2009

Short description

Energy Study of the building facilities of the Piraeus Police Directorate within the framework of a Public and Private Partnership. Suitable shell materials were selected in accordance with the requirements of the regulations and instructions of the State Real Estate Service and the Technical Chamber of Greece (T.E.E.). Sunshade installation on selected glass panes of the building was also evaluated. In addition, the study investigated the type of planted roof that to be installed on the building as well as its contribution to the improvement of the thermal behavior of the building. The most suitable places for placing photovoltaic elements were identified also calculating their efficiency. Finally, the study evaluated the economic performance of conventional central air conditioning systems in comparison with their low energy consumption counterparts.

Evaluation of planted roof on office building

Project duration 2008-2010

Short description The study evaluated the thermal behaviour of the planted roof of the building of the Ministry of Economy and Finance (5-7, Nikis str. – Syntagma) by both thermographic analysis and simulation, also considering electricity and oil consumption. The aim of the study was to evaluate the performance of the planted roof one year after its installation.
