In Finland, nearly all homes are designed for low-temperature heating, typically underfloor systems or large radiators that work efficiently with heat pumps. Buildings are well insulated and airtight, which is essential in sub-zero winters. Finnish construction emphasizes high thermal performance from the outset, ensuring heat losses are minimal and systems can operate efficiently at flow…

APPROACH (Advanced Photonic PRocesses for novel sOlar energy hArvesting teCHnologies) is a multi-actor European project aimed at strengthening the expertise of young researchers and innovators in developing new technologies related to the utilisation of solar energy. The project places particular focus on the development, application and commercialisation of nanostructured materials and…
