U-SOLVE - Urban Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Roadmap
This report presents the main results of analyzing the Urban Entrepreneurial Ecosystem (EE) across project
partners, relying on a unique U-SOLVE approach. The analysis relied on secondary data from prior studies and
reports investigating the same issue in each country and primary data collected from ecosystem actors
representing academia, business actors, business support organizations, and NGOs.
SEACAP Living Labs
• 7 reports on Living Labs; one for each partner
• Handbook on Replication and Capitalisation of the SEACAP Living Labs
Medidas para la conservación eficaz de la costa española
This report summarises the findings of the national capitalisation event in Spain which focussed on management effectiveness on the Spanish coast.
NEW ENTREPRENEURIAL START-UP IDEAS
U-SOLVE was able to attract as many innovative ideas as possible and to maximize the impact of foreseen capacity building activities. Following this methodology, calls for applicants have been issued for both steps, including guidelines, templates, model contract and evaluation criteria.
Guide for Low-Cost Adaptive Reuse Strategy- LCARS
The guide covers topics related to Low-Cost Adaptive Reuse
The Low-Cost Adaptive Reuse Strategy- Study Cases of Implementation in six MED-Cities:
Hebron: Participatory laboratory for craftsmen,
Athens; Portable LCARS kiosk
Palermo: Creative craft ship studio
Irbid: Youth Up-Cycling Workshop
Murcia: Nebula creative space
Tunis: Exhibition space for young creatives.
The General focus of the pilot was to define the main characteristics of the pilot area/building and explanation of the choice of the pilot location, the general objective of the intervention on a short, medium, and long term, description of the intervention, key relevant stakeholders engaged in the process (beforehand, along the process and end user), main identified challenges in the implementation and the impact and sustainability: socio- economic and environmental aspects.
Integrated Municipal Waste Management Plan - Municipality of Sestri Levante (Italy)
This is one of the integrated Municipal Waste Management Plans (IMWMP) developed within the CLIMA project framework. The IMWMP incorporates specific measures to manage waste, including organic waste, establish ambitious waste reduction targets, and promote the reuse of organic components.
MAIA TAQA Detailed design of the pilot project - Amman
The MAIA-TAQA project focuses on developing and defining a range of innovative services in the field of resource efficiency (RE), by setting up demonstrators in 3 Mediterranean pilot areas, in Lebanon, Egypt, and Jordan. This report illustrates a pilot project implemented in Jordan with the aim of improving and upgrading the provision of power at the Jordan Chamber of Commerce (JOCC) main building in Amman by installing a Building Integrated Photovoltaic System (BIPV).
Introduction to Energy Performance Contracting (EPC)
Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) is a financing mechanism used to support energy efficiency measures and renewable energy installations without worrying about financial barriers. In an EPC contract, the energy service company (ESCO) is committed to provide guaranteed energy improvements to the customer’s territory while the finances are covered from the achieved energy savings.

BEEP video story: How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
BEEP project aimed at strengthening the use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) to enhance energy efficiency in buildings. The testing of this emerging technology on built heritage was performed to demonstrate its scalability to the entire building stock. The project provided public administrations with a powerful method for the energy rehabilitation of public buildings to be supported with private funds through the Energy Performance Contracting. The project main was an innovative methodology based on the integration of emerging technologies tested on 9 heritage public buildings located in Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Egypt.
BEEP Guide (extended version): How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
This guidelines’ document aims to enhance the capacity of public local administrations to design, and realise innovative energy and environmental improvement on historic public buildings, through a multidisciplinary and integrated digital approach (using Building Information Modelling and performance-based design to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model - EE-HBIM). The guideline is based on the testing of this emerging technology on built heritage in eight different EU and non EU Mediterranean countries to demonstrate its scalability to the entire building stock of the Med area. The project will provide public administrations with a powerful method for the energy rehabilitation of public buildings to be supported with private funds through the Energy Performance Contracting (EPC).
BEEP Guide: How to develop an Energy Efficient Heritage Building Information Model (EE-HBIM)
This technical guideline proposes a methodology for the energy audit of a historical building to support its energy and environmental improvement, from the analyses to the design stage up to the implementation, using Energy Performance Contracting (EPC) to attract funding. Each section of the guideline can also be used as a technical specification for tender activities.
Guidelines on the energy renovation of university buildings in the Mediterranean
Guidelines were developed and designed based on the main outputs of the project including the Living Lab approach adopted for the co-creation of the renovation process, the main results of the pilot actions implemented (energy generated and saved, CO2 emissions avoided, savings in €..), lessons learned and recommendations for replication and scaling-up.
These guidelines will facilitate the replication and scaling-up of the innovative renovation actions implemented, leading to a wider impact.
