Joined For Sustainability

The 1FUTURE project aims to to improve regional capacities in implementing Green Deal goals within higher education system. The 1Future project builds up on the needs and the ambition to lead climate action in HEIs in the WB Region. Within the project, HEIs of the region will serve as the gear that connects different stakeholders for building climate resilient communities.

Erasmus + Program

The Capacity Building in Higher Education (CBHE) action supports international cooperation projects based on multilateral partnerships between organisations active in the field of higher education. It will support a successful green and sustainable global economic recovery in the third countries not associated to the Erasmus+ programme, linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Paris Agreement.

Leading Partner

The University of Tirana is the largest university in the country. It consists of six faculties and two institutes and offers 174 programs in all three cycles of study, with 779 full-time academic staff and approximately 28,550 students. Thanks to its tradition, high level of qualification, training and certification, the University of Tirana remains the most sought after university in Albania.

Innovative Approaches to Building Efficiency

Posted on April 10, 2025

As part of the 1FUTURE project’s Work Package 4, Luarasi University organized an insightful academic session titled Measures for Improving the Energy Efficiency of Buildings on April 7, 2025. The session was conducted by Prof. Ana Trombeva Gavriloska from the Faculty of Architecture at UKIM-Skopje, North Macedonia.

Designed for an audience of 25 university students, the session focused on essential topics such as architectural strategies for enhancing building energy performance, innovative approaches to energy efficiency, and tailored solutions for the renovation of modernist architectural heritage. Utilizing an interactive format—including real-world case studies, group collaboration, and dynamic discussions—students explored practical methods and design frameworks to improve energy efficiency in both new and existing structures. They engaged in critical thinking exercises and exchanged ideas on sustainable architectural models, emphasizing the relevance of simulation tools and energy performance assessments.

The one-hour session offered valuable insights and practical knowledge to both undergraduate and graduate students, strengthening their understanding of sustainable development in the built environment. It also underscored the critical role of strategic planning and data-driven energy simulations in achieving long-term resilience and environmental sustainability in architectural design.
