Description

Monoscience Ecobuilders is involved with insulation for the construction sector, as a reseller but also in the study and design phase. 

Currently, up to 84% of the total energy needed for heating and cooling of buildings comes from the use of fossil fuels. As part of the European Green Deal, the EU has set a binding target for achieving climate neutrality by 2050. The EU has raised its 2030 climate ambition, committing to cutting emissions by at least 55% by 2030. This means that steps should be taken towards energy efficiency in buildings, and for the use of renewable energy sources to heat and cool our building stock. 

The project “Robotic Concentrated Solar Thermal Collector” is a R&D project with aims to develop a solution that can use solar thermal energy to cover the heating needs of buildings. The collected energy can also be used to cool a building and be applied for clean water production through desalination pasteurisation. The solar thermal collector can be used in residential or commercial buildings (e.g. hotels) and factories. The footprint of the whole system is small enough to be able to be installed in the terrace of most commercial buildings while not being visible from the ground level. 

The project will result in the creation of 9 new jobs and 1 new Green Industry Innovation solution. Monoscience Ecobuilders will also increase its revenues and competitiveness.
