Full Title: EuroAcademy on Ventilation and Indoor Climate
Short Title: CLIMACADEMY
Duration of the Project: 48 months
Contractor Implemented the Project: Technical University of Sofia, Center for Research and Design in Human Comfort, Energy and Environment (CERDECEN), Bulgaria
Project Overview
The series of 7 training courses of the EuroAcademy on Ventilation and Indoor Climate (CLIMACADEMY) are further development of the program of two projects: Annual International Course “Ventilation and Indoor Climate” (2002-2004) and Annual International Course “Computational Engineering” (2004-2005), organized within the Stability Pact for South-Eastern Europe and financially supported by Germany. A background of the academy is also the long-term collaboration between several European universities, recently expressed in the EC project “Center for Research and Design in Human Comfort, Energy and Environment – CERDECEN” within the EC Program “Centers of Excellence” and coordinated by CERDECEN, Technical University of Sofia.The lecturer consortium at the moment of running the project includes leading professors and senior researchers from 18 institutions from 8 MS, 2 ASS and 3 Other states; 7 of them from the core group of universities, participating in the above mentioned projects. CLIMACADEMY-courses face different scientific, technological and socio-economic aspects of a multidisciplinary domain. 7 training courses will be organized in Bulgaria by CERDECEN:
- IAQ and Thermal Comfort (19.10.2006 - 27.10.2006)
- Individually Controlled Environment (08.05.2007 - 13.05.2007)
- Industrial Ventilation (18.10.2007 - 26.10.2007)
- Integrated Analysis of Building Envelope and Indoor Environment (06.05.2008 - 11.05.2008)
- CFD Based Design of Indoor Environment (16.10.2008 - 24.10.2008)
- IAQ and Human Body Exposure (12.05.2009 - 17.05.2009)
- Experimental Assessment of Indoor Environment Parameters (08.10.2009 - 16.10.2009)
