1st SEMS Summer School

Throughout the Summer School, the knowledge generated by the project and the experiences made within the SEMS communities have been disseminated to stakeholders working in the field of sustainable energy management in communities.

sustainable energy management systems


 
The Summer School started with presentations about the basis of Decentralised Energy Management Systems (DEMS) and energy and material flow management (MFM). The second day focussed on processes towards sustainability in communities. As examples, the status of activities in three SEMS CONCERTO communities has been presented.

Following the presentations, the participants of the Summer School visited the Morbach energy landscape, thus getting an insight view on what could be done regarding the use of renewable energy sources in a community. With a session focussing on biofuels in regions the 1st Summer School finished. After a general survey of various biofuels, their chances for regions but also possible restrictions have been intensely discussed. Besides the lectures, the Summer School offered the chance to discuss and to exchange opinions among the participants.
