The Green & Smart Building Park, a collaboration between several research institutions and actors in the green energy sector.
The project is dedicated to experimentation, training, and research to develop the fields of green buildings, energy efficiency, and smart grids in Morocco.
Green buildings aim to maintain an environmentally friendly approach throughout their lifecycle, from the sites where they are located, to their construction, operation, and maintenance.
the Green Energy Park (GEP), the Institute of Research and Solar Energy and New Energies (IRESEN), the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) have collaborated to build a center dedicated to green buildings, smart grids, and sustainable mobility.
The center will focus on research and development in those fields, strengthening the project’s ambitions to work with research centers, universities, and SMEs.
In addition to research centers and universities, the project also lists several government institutions from Morocco as expected participants.
Morocco’s ministries of energy transition, higher education and scientific research, and trade were all listed among the participants.
The country has been cited as a regional and international leader in the field by various reports, validating Morocco’s growing capacities for solar, wind, and green hydrogen as energy production methods.
