Four years ago we entered together with the Jožef Stefan Institute into a development project, the result of which is a functioning system, which heats and cools building C at the Jožef Stefan Institute. Below are short news of this joint development project, which were published in the newspaper Delo.
»The pilot project infraSUN on the roof of one of the buildings at the Jožef Stefan Institute tests the possibility for an efficient solar heating and cooling.
We could say that the names, associated with the latest technological project at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, which occupied this year one of its roofs, are misleading. Emilie is not a French sounding name but an abbreviation of an international project, and the name infraSUN has nothing to do with an infra oven but with an infrastructure.
Emilie means the strengthening of Mediterranean initiatives, which encourages small and medium sized companies to use solar energy – and such is the title of the EU project, which would create ideas at the innovative use of solar energy and would show the maturity of current technologies for the use of this energy. One of the promising results is the result of research, engineering and innovative work of Slovenian participants in the project, specifically with the Jožef Stefan Institute in Ljubljana, which constructed in collaboration with the Slovenian company Talum the system infraSUN, intended for heating and cooling of the building with the energy of sun. Infra, in its name, refers to sun as an infrastructure.
…
Among innovative products are solar panels, which are already included in the programme of one of the leading European manufacturers of heating techniques (Viessmann), and the Slovenian company Talum is participating in their development and manufacture. …«
