RENAISSANCE H2020 - The MAMCA approach in Kimmeria

Renaissance project is an Horizon 2020 Innovation Action (IA) which aim is to deliver a community-driven scalable and replicable approach, to implement new business models, tools and technologies supporting clean production and shared distribution of renewable energy in local communities.

In order to validate the suite of tools, their application will be demonstrated in real-life pilots in Belgium, Greece, Spain and the Netherlands.

The DUTH University Campus hosts more than 500 students who are selected through income or other socio-economic vulnerability criteria. The accommodation of students is provided without charge. A part of the electricity is generated by rooftop PV panels, while the thermal energy demand of the students’ residences is covered by a Renewable Energy System installed within the campus.

In this video VUB researcher Maria Luisa Lode and DUTH professor Pantelis Botsaris explain and run the multi-actor-multi-criteria analysis involving the students in the collection of needs and criteria for the evaluation of future energy system.
