This document summarizes a presentation about the MED-ENEC II project, which is funded by the European Union to promote energy efficiency and renewable energy in the construction sector in Mediterranean countries. The project aims to reduce costs for owners and users, increase private sector competitiveness, and reduce carbon emissions. It works towards these goals by improving policies, developing business partnerships, providing training, and supporting awareness campaigns. The presentation provides examples of pilot projects in Israel that achieved significant energy savings through traditional and modern passive design approaches.
