Meet the BIO4EEB partners advancing innovation in bio-based insulation materials for buildings. BIO4EEB brings into collaboration diverse expertise, engaging a well-balanced multidisciplinary consortium consists of partners from 10 European countries as well as one Latin American partner.
This week, we are happy to introduce PROTECH. The Applied Research Institute for Prospective Technologies, is a private non-profit research institute established under the FP5 Centres of Excellence project for Candidate Countries “First Step” as an industrial research centre with specific knowledge in photovoltaic technologies. From the very beginning the institute is focusing its activities on industry relevant research supporting SMEs and manufacturing industries in Lithuania and EU countries. Successful implementation of research projects with strong industry involvement triggered interest of private investors to work with Protech as a performer of industry level research and technology developer. Today, ProTech is a recognised applied research center focusing its activities at green energy generation and application technologies, particularly, photovoltaics, energy efficient buildings and environment-friendly materials. ProTech administrates a national Photovoltaic Technology Cluster and runs its open-access R&D facilities. ProTech is also an administrator of Plastics and new materials cluster.
In BIO4EEB, PROTECH will lead, a DEMO CASE in Lithuania; a Multistory residential building built in 80’s and will be retrofitted partially with BIO4EEB technologies and partially with traditional ones so to have a benchmark for the energy, costs, time of renovation analyses.
