As stressed by the rector of the university, Professor. Kazimierz Furtak, it is unique in the country’s scientific-research unit of strategic importance to the University of Cracow, but also the entire province of Malopolska. The large-scale studies will be carried out there saving technologies, solutions, materials, construction and installation, and ease of use of low-energy buildings.
The innovative building was built on the campus of the Technical University of Cracow, ul. Warsaw city center. The five-storey building with a total area of over 1,000 square meters was established 14 climate zones and energy, where scientists will conduct tests of materials and technologies, depending on the climatic conditions.
The building meets the requirements characterizing passive buildings equipped with approx. 3 thousands of specialized sensors to be monitored include created in the interior zone of climate and energy. It picks up on a lot of unique devices m.in .: thermal manikin, enabling research comfort rooms or chambers for testing photovoltaic panels.
The investment cost amounted to over 20 million zł; more than 17 million zł is EU funding from the Malopolska Regional Operational Programme.
– Cracow University of Technology efficiency in the construction issues dealing with for over 20 years. This issue is important for the citizens of the region and Polish. It is also enforced by the law, because by 2020, all public buildings will have to meet very strict criteria of energy efficiency, and any construction – since 2021., – Noted prof. Furtak.
He added that complement the Krakow laboratory is established in Tarnow polygon efficiency. Its purpose is to transfer to industry research the effects of the Krakow center: the results of research, the newly developed technology is being improved.
MLBE will serve researchers, PhD students and students with CP and other research units. They will also use it entrepreneurs, mainly in the construction industry and manufacturers of building materials and installation systems, interested in implementing action research services and professional advice.
Marshal of the Malopolska province, Marek Sowa stressed that energy-efficient construction is an important area of the economy, in the Lesser Poland intends to specialize. – Pointed them in the development of Malopolska, as one of the smart specialization region. We have the potential, outstanding intellectual and human resources, and now a modern laboratory with which we have high hopes – he noted.
