| Abstract [eng] |
Nowadays, we can observe various scenarios aiming to promote the decarbonization of the university campuses. Higher education institutions are expected to be pioneers in development and application of sustainable solutions. This paper presents innovative solutions as well as education of society. As many approaches to decarbonization of university campuses are tested and applied it is necessary to study the effects in context to possible application in different climate conditions. In this paper, real solutions applied in Bialystok (Poland), Valladolid and Malaga (Spain), Kaunas (Lithuania) and Athens (Greece) are described as well as future plans for technical solutions to make campuses energy efficient and eco-friendly. As shown, it is hard to find a consistent and one-size-fits-all approach to this issue. Unique needs with the perspective of changes in the heat and cool demand, national rules on development of renewable energy sources, energy price volatility as well as technical possibilities of application of individual solutions on campuses affect the choice of the applied realization. |
