Smart V4 Strategies

South Poland Cleantech Cluster participates in a newly started Visegrad project together with partners – Czech Smart City Cluster, Slovak Smart City Cluster and Digitalis Jolet nonprofit from Hungary. The project “Smart V4 Strategies” was awarded financing support from the Visegrad Fund.

The aim of the project is to connect relevant partners in the given area of SMART strategies and prepare procedures for classification of SMART strategies in V4 countries into one complex database portal. The project offers V4 partners international cooperation in unifying SMART strategies to GreenDeal/SDG rules. The vision is to strengthen the unity and effectiveness in implementation of SMART strategies in all V4 countries.

SPCleantech is co-founder of European Alliance for Cross- Industrial Circular Economy Investments (ICEI Alliance) consisting of European clusters and universities. During 2020-2021 there have been held meetings to prepare the establishment of the European Alliance for Cross- Industrial Circular Economy Investments, hosted by the Circular Economy Centre at Digipolis, Kemi, Finland.

The ICEI Alliance has for ambition to make Europe the global industrial circular economy platform to accelerate the deployment of world-class circular economy solutions to industry. It acts as a pipeline of business-led circular economy investment projects. Alliance members support businesses with the structuring of their investment cases as well as with accessing funding and financing streams.

SPCleantech organized on 01.03.2018 in cooperation with the Association of Municipalities and Poviats of Małopolska (SGiPM) and a member of the cluster Danish architectural company BJERG Arkitekter from Warsaw, seminar “Healthy building = healthy inhabitants = a healthy city. The healing role of architecture in public buildings “. 

In addition to the BJERG Arkitekter company, other members of SPCleantech participated in the seminar as: lecturers of the Małopolskie Centrum Budownictwa Energooszczędnego (MCBE, Cracow University of Technology), Horizone Studio, FRAPOL, and Raciechowice Commune.

During the seminar, specialists explained the legal status for today and for the coming years. Many examples of passive and nearly zero-energy constructions in Poland and Scandinavia were presented, as well as examples of public-private partnership (PPP) in public construction.

BJERG Arkitektur – Poland’s first active and passive integration center in Namysłów.

Pursuant to Directive 2010/31 / EU, from the beginning of 2021, all newly built facilities in EU countries will have to be buildings with almost zero energy consumption. However, as of 2019, the obligation to minimize energy consumption will apply to new public buildings and those owned by public authorities. These activities are dictated by the implementation of the European policy for the development of energy-saving technologies and energy conservation in buildings.

From many years of experience of the EU member states and solutions implemented in Poland, it follows that the economic benefits achieved through low-energy construction are evident, and the cost of construction of such buildings, slightly higher than the construction costs of a standard building. Owing to the low-energy objects, considerable effects are achieved primarily in the field of environmental protection, especially due to the rational use of thermal energy, which significantly reduces atmospheric pollution.

The public facility is understood as a building intended for the needs of public administration, justice, army, guard, police culture, religious worship, education, higher education, science, health and social care, and sport.
