Expected project results

Quantitative results;

• Centres for measuring the solar energy that can be collected from tilted surfaces (unique in Romania);

• Modernization and installation, by applying the project’s energy concepts, at the terrace of West University of Timisoara, and at a terrace of the University of Architecture and Urban Planning “Ion Mincu” — Bucharest; Solar windows in The BIPV Laboratory from Polytechnic University of Bucharest

• Project website, containing: software and guide, accessible online, for: estimation of the solar energy that can be collected from tilted surfaces; PV system design; architectural solutions;

• Database containing measurements of solar energy collectable from tilted surfaces;

• Submission to the authorities of the legal requirements related to the authorisation of the operation of distributed electric power sources;

• Organisation of a thematic competition („Solar house”) for students;

• Organisation of workshop for discussing the results of the project with representatives of the target groups;

• Brochures, guidelines, bibliographies for the different target groups Estimated profits and profitableness:

• Development of specialisation, in the solar architecture with great opportunities within EU market;

• Achievement of important steps in the development of the photovoltaic industry in Romania;

• Possibility of capitalization on the results obtained by the project in Romania’s neighbouring countries;

• Achievement of important steps in fulfilling Romania’s commitments as future member of the EU, as regards Chapters Environment and Energy.

Dissemination plan:

Logical Diagram of the project dissemination activities is presented in Fig. 1. Main points of this dissemination plan are considered to be the following:

• Organisation the visiting of the demo PV installations for interested public;

• Promoting the idea of solar architecture to the specialists, both through the web-site and through roundtables, conferences and colloquiums addressed to both local authorities and the large public. Editing a Newsletter for presenting the results of the project and elaboration of brochures for dissemination to the large public;

• Creation and administration of a specialised website dedicated to all project activities. The website will include two sections, one public (including users form the EU states) and one for the partners’ use;

• Organisation of a workshop on aspects related to solar radiation measuring on tilted surfaces;

• Organisation of a competition of projects/models of “Solar houses” for students of architecture and engineering universities;

• Elaboration of a guide on BIPV systems and on the new technologies, for architects, and of materials for building daylighting as well as a bibliography for specialists;

■ Presentation of the results of the project at national and European scientific events;
