Ursula von den Leyen’s visit to RTU IESE. The New European Bauhaus States

RTU’s IESE tackles the challenge of combining technology, culture, and nature in one synergy. In the project "Improvement of building energy efficiency Technologies (I-BEET)" (No. 03000-3.1.2-e/163) focused on the transition from traditional to positive energy block we study both existing building stock supporting the Renovation Wave goals and new buildings promoting smarter technologies as well as the use of renewables available on-site. Our work in RTU’s Institute of Energy Systems and Environment always has been focused on human well-being in liveable surroundings without compromise to the environment. It should become the new lifestyle. During the President of the European Commission (EC) Ursula.

Looking back at the international scientific conference CONECT 2021

International Scientific Conference CONECT 2021, organized by RTU IESI has finished! This year in order to comply with COVID-19 restrictions, the conference was held online combined with on-site presentations from RTU scientists. Altogether we had participants from 24 countries, including South Korea, India, Mexico, also representing different universities from Latvia. During the first two days of the Conference, scientists gave their presentations on their latest research and results. Following they had the opportunity to test their strength of generating new ideas and use of their knowledge in the creative group event “Apple Garden” and tried to build models to solve institutional.

Summer School «Bioeconomy. Sustainable Use of Biological Resources» and role game

Bioeconomy is a sector focused on the sustainable use of biological resources by producing products with high added value. Bioeconomy has a great potential reduction of effect to climate change. Processing of resources and production of innovative products is essential to get and use knowledge in cleaner production, environmental technologies, energy efficiency, waste management, and other aspects, using resources effectively and reducing a negative impact on the environment. Implementation of bioeconomy is a key to self-sufficient and sustainable cities and regions. Bioeconomy is an essential part of the circular economy. Bioeconomy defines the aspects of bioresource use and technological problems.

Online seminar “Financing Energy Efficiency in Baltic countries: lessons learned and future outlook”

Within the framework of the EU Green deal which aims to transform EU economies and achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and Recovery and Resilience Facility in the context of national energy and climate targets, a sufficient amount of investment in energy efficiency, renewable energy projects, and innovative technologies are among the most important issues to tackle. Therefore, in the framework of the project CIC2030 (Climate Investment Capacity 2030) workshop is organized to bring together policy makers, project developers, researchers, and financiers to exchange on lessons learned and discuss future perspectives on energy efficiency project financing. We invite you to.

Online seminar “Solutions to reduce energy costs in companies”

When thinking about company development, new markets and new products come first, there often might not be enough time to analyze and work on reducing existing energy costs. Therefore, within the framework of the CIC2030 (Climate Investment Capacity 2030) project, we’re organizing a seminar during which, together with energy sector professionals, we will look at real examples that can help reduce energy costs. Together we will think about the best possible energy efficiency measures in wood processing companies. We invite you to join the online seminar “Solutions to reduce energy costs in companies”, which will take place on December 11,.

RIBuild project is highly evaluated

The performance of RTU IESE and partners in the RIBuild project is highly evaluated in the European Union; the expected impact of the guidelines and the tools is considered very high, delivered information and knowledge has high quality. The RIBuild project summarizes the latest research on internal insulation in historic buildings, which is one of the most complex energy efficiency measures. Developed guidelines are applicable to historic buildings all over Europe. Anybody with an interest in building physics, retrofitting or energy efficient restoration can benefit from the guidelines. RTU realises this project together with partners from Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Italy,.

Looking back at the international scientific conference CONECT 2020

In the mid-May we had one of the most anticipated annual events – international scientific conference CONECT 2020, organized by RTU Institute of Energy Systems and Environment. This year it was a great challenge for participants and organisers because the conference was held online due to the worldwide Covid-19 outbreak.
