BAS economists: Energy efficiency measures should take into account territorial differences and household vulnerability

Taking into account territorial differences in social and energy vulnerability of households is a strong tool to overcome poverty and inequalities and to achieve a wider coverage of measures with the same financial means. For example, improving the energy efficiency of individual houses is more cost-effective than implementing these measures for multi-family buildings. The reason for this is that funding can only be provided with income criteria for the most vulnerable households with 3 or more members. With an investment of BGN 100 million and a limit of funding per household of up to BGN 20 thousand, 5.7 per cent of houses with three or more residents where 23 598 energy poor people live will be renovated while apartment buildings will account for only 0.92 [...]

Innovative antimicrobial coatings shown by European scientists in Sofia

Scientists from 15 European countries are discussing their latest developments in the field of antimicrobial coatings for use in public buildings at Sofia Tech Park. The meeting is taking place today and tomorrow and is part of the "STOP - Surface transfer of Pathogens" project funded by the Horizon Europe programme. The project leader on the Bulgarian side is Assoc. Prof. Albena Daskalova from the Institute of Electronics of BAS. The work of the Bulgarian researchers is focused on the application of light in the form of ultra-short laser radiation to create innovative and time-resistant antibacterial surfaces. The idea is to invent micro- and nano-structure surfaces made of steel, copper and polymers which are used in the manufacture of door handles for the metro, operating [...]
