While achieving its goal by creating this active modern workplace, Antwork aims to present energy efficient solutions to reduce energy consumption. These energy savings will add a green image to the facility and result in cost savings for its clients. The proposed measures are LED lighting, a VRF system, and PV plant.

The goal of the project is to create a highly energy efficient house with reduced energy input and a low impact on the environment. The goal of the different measures is to reduce cooling energy in summer and heating energy in winter, to reduce the electricity bill, and to have a low impact on the environment during its lifespan. Therefore two main measures will be adopted: a wooden frame with one of the most energy efficient construction methods and a heat pump to provide hot water.

The building consists of 18 apartments. The envelope is composed of concrete blocks with EIFS board, which creates efficient insulation and thus reduces heating and cooling load. Moreover, energy savings technologies such as LED lighting, a VRV system and heat pumps for domestic hot water are employed.

The house will be made of prefabricated wood with insulation material. The blocks will lead to a highly efficient envelope with a small U-value, thus decreasing heating and cooling loads. The slopped roof will be used to install a PV system to reduce energy dependence on EDL and generator subscription.

Old single-glazed windows are affecting the operation of the heating system and the indoor conditions, so they will be replaced by double-glazed system. The old lighting system will be replaced with modern fluorescent lamps. An efficient sandwich panel will be integrated in the roof structure for more energy savings and new efficient DX inverter systems will be installed in the new labs and classrooms.

The Turkey Scientific Research and Development Centre (RMI Turkey) has approximately 1,763 square meters of total area across three floors. The area is divided between a seminar hall, several laboratories, office spaces, and areas with other uses. It is important to note that while the original name (Betek Training and R&D Centre) has been altered to RMI Turkey Scientific Research and Development Centre (RMI Turkey), its function (training craftsmen, testing new construction materials, etc.) and all other characteristics have remained the same.

The project consists of an eco-hotel situated at Beni M’tir, Delegation of Fernana, Jendouba Governorate, in the north-west of Tunisia.

The pilot project is situated in the New Youth Residential Complex in the Kudsia Suburb on the outskirts of Damascus. The neighbourhood consists of 18 residential islands with 12,600 flats.

Each of the project's block has 5 flats and the pilot unit has a floor area of 306 m² on three levels (walk-out basement, ground and second floor).

The building will be the typical size of common residential villas in the Rabat-Casablanca urban region with the hope of encouraging the Moroccan construction sector to put more emphasis on energy efficiency and bio-climatic building concepts

The aim of the pilot project is the implementation of energy efficiency measures that were identified in an earlier energy audit. The audit suggested realistic energy saving measures with acceptable payback times, taking into consideration the actual situation of the hospital. Measurements for the audit were taken between September and November 2003. In addition, annual statistics and financial data were analysed.

The purpose of the project is to demonstrate energy efficient construction in a dry, hot climate, where summer temperatures rise above 40ºC.

The architectural style integrates vernacular and modern elements. The building is located in the north of Israel where climatic conditions are temperate. It is used as headquarters of the Towns’ Association for Environmental Quality (TAEQ) and for teaching purposes.

The project aims to demonstrate new solar cooling technologies able to satisfy the needs of residential and small office buildings. The main components of the system are the evacuated tube collectors with operation temperatures below 100°C.

The project will be located near Algiers within the CNERIB site. This rural house will be a one-family house with an area of 80m² and a total volume of 180m³.
