Green And Smart Building Park - Ben Guerir

IRESEN is a Moroccan research institute created in 2011 by the Ministry of Energy, Mining, Water and Environment, with the participation of several key players of the energy sector in Morocco. 

In order to support the construction of their research and office campus the German development agency GIZ launched an international tender, which the Austrian Institute of Technology won. 

The project was spanning a wide area of topics, from consultancy on laboratory & smart grid test infrastructure, sustainable construction and energy efficiency, indoor comfort, research topic development and construction of various living lab test-houses.
