The National School of Public Health at NOVA University of Lisbon (NOVA NSPH) is going ahead with a major energy renovation project on its campus, with a total investment of 1,278,006 euros, funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR), through Measure 13 – Energy Efficiency in Public Administration Buildings.
The project, which will run until 2025, is a concrete commitment to the efficiency, sustainability and comfort of NOVA NSPH’s facilities, contributing to the national goals of energy transition and carbon neutrality.
NOVA NSPH has been working actively to ensure that the process progresses quickly. The architectural and speciality projects have already been completed, and the contracting process is in its final stages, which will allow the intervention on the ground to begin.
The work includes three main axes:
- Improving the building’s opaque and glazed envelope to improve thermal performance;
- Upgrading the technical systems, such as air conditioning (HVAC) and ventilation;
- Installation of renewable energy production solutions (RES) for self-consumption.
Among the planned interventions are the installation of photovoltaic solar panels, the application of thermal insulation, the modernisation of HVAC systems and the renovation of lighting with more efficient bulbs.
This investment reinforces an integrated vision of sustainability at NOVA NSPH, which extends beyond teaching, research and knowledge transfer. The School also applies the principles of energy efficiency, climate action and ecological transition in the way it manages and modernises its infrastructures, aligning institutional practice with the global challenges it studies and faces.
This project is funded by the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) under investment RE-C05-i03 – Energy Efficiency in Public Administration Buildings.
