The BRICKER project, an energy efficient retrofits system, is being developed by combining passive and active technologies in live test cases of three very different public buildings, situated in three different countries, in three different climatic zones. The three buildings being tackled are council offices in Extremadura, Spain; an engineering college building in Liege, Belgium; and part of a university hospital in Aydin, Turkey. “What makes this project unique is it will combine different active and passive technologies to achieve energy efficiency, in an innovative way,” said Juan Jimenez, project coordinator. A return on the European BRICKER retrofit research project is expected in around seven years.
