Researchers of EIGeS participate in the project “SSHARE” financed by MARIE SKLODOWSKA-CURIE ACTIONS

Professor Andriy Lyubchyk (Coordinator) and Professor Svitlana Lyubchyk (Principal Investigator), João Antunes e Edmundo Pais, researchers of EIGeS, participate in the project 871284  H2020 Marie Curie SSHARE  Self-sufficient humidity to electricity Innovative Radiant Adsorption System Toward Net Zero Energy Buildings, Programme “PEOPLE” – Call ID “H2020-MSCA-RISE-2019".

This project involves the participation of the following institutions: NANOTECH Center (Project Leader) and DIPE, both from Ukraine; EIGeS – Universidade Lúsofona and NOVA ID, both from Portugal. Furthermore, the project counts with following institutions as partners: IIPT, from Uzbekistan; NNRC, from Azerbaijan; TTV, Tajikistan.

This project aims to develop a novel type of Self-Sufficient Building Panels to meet low energy-consuming requirements for buildings.

The proposed solution combines two innovative technologies: 1) the HUNTER-Moisture to Electricity Converter; 2) the Advanced Radiant Panel for Buildings for temperature control. This integration imitates the sweat of living beings to cool or heat the indoor or outdoor environment, according to the user needs, by just using the atmospheric humidity as a source of thermal and electrical energy to power this panel.
