Termomax - Energy-efficient building cluster
Cluster associating companies and small firms operating mainly in building sector, supported by The Opole University of Technology, and lokal-goverment organizations. The main purpouse of this project is development of optimal and energy-efficient buliding technology - ISOMAX. As a result of this process would be a new, better and more innovative energy-efficient technology, based on solar and geothermal energy. This actions taken by Termomax Cluster are oriented on: reducing the proportion of fossil fuels as the primary energy sources, with simultaneous significant increase of the use of renewable energy, stimulating development of green energy related new technologies, training specialists and promoting and supporting energy saving technologies.
