At SEBR, we are proud to have DEFCON8 as one of the leading partners in our international initiative to enhance the energy efficiency of buildings in 3 European countries. DEFCON8 is an environmental company dedicated to helping people reduce water and energy consumption in buildings through real-time monitoring and feedback.

Last Wednesday, May 29th, the SEBR team organized a training workshop at Manuel António Pina School in Vila Nova de Gaia, where we are renovating and implementing technologies to reduce the building’s energy consumption and emissions. Aimed at teachers, the workshop showcased the new technologies implemented in the building, explained their benefits, and explored strategies to effectively use them to improve energy efficiency and minimize emissions.

Last Wednesday, April 10th, SEBR hosted a training workshop in Nuremberg aimed at raising awareness among educators about the new sustainability measures integrated into our initiative. This session marked the beginning of our training workshops, targeting teachers as key stakeholders in fostering sustainability within educational settings.

The Centro Escolar Manuel António Pina, an elementary school situated in Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal, stands as one of the pilot buildings to be retrofitted as part of the procURE project. 

Achieving the Nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) status is a goal that captures the attention of those committed to the future of construction and energy efficiency. 

If you are considering making the leap towards nZEB, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the key factors that can make a difference in your journey. Here are five crucial aspects to consider if you want your building to attain the coveted nZEB status:

SEBR is now implementing its renovation approach in 3 buildings across Europe. Our mission is to design, develop, and test a renovation strategy capable of delivering 100% renewable energy supply to any existing non-residential building.
