Users of this calculator can determine the percentage of window surface shading and the length of shade from an awning or balcony situated above the window. The calculation can be performed for any day of the year taking into account position of the sun, and it applies to the orientation of the window perpendicular to the direction of the solar rays.

The calculation serves as a basis for an assessment of daylight and sunlight, and can be used for planning window shading and lighting inside the building.

Online tool for calculating and designing thermal insulations and their thickness, so users can easily choose proper building insulation. The calculator allows the user to select one of the fifteen compositions that are the most common in building thermal insulation, and choose a particular composition for insulating walls, floors, roofs, soils, basements, etc. It also distinguishes between the type of buildings and individual constructions according to building materials used (wood, concrete, steel structures, etc.). The results are shown in an insulation catalogue.

The Green Growth Commitment (GGC), created in 2014, represents a voluntary pledge by private, public, and civil society stakeholders to move towards a green growth economy in Portugal.

Administered by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO.nl) and funded by the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, the Seed Capital scheme provides capital for investment funds backing innovative entrepreneurs in the technology and creative sectors. The scheme effectively brings the supply and demand sides together.

The Innovation Deals (IDs) instrument, set up by the European Commission, help innovators facing regulatory obstacles by setting up agreements with stakeholders and public authorities. IDs are a voluntary cooperation between the EU, innovators, and national, regional and local authorities aimed at shortening the time between ideas and market uptake.

The measure has been created to partially compensate for interest charged to industrial enterprises which took loans or leasing agreements to purchase equipment or technology that increases their energy efficiency.

This programme encourages micro-, small-, medium-sized as well as larger enterprises to use renewable energy sources (RES), systems and technologies in their production and operations, and to sell excess heating and energy supplies to district heating networks or other industrial enterprises.

RES covered by the scheme include: wind, solar, aerothermal, geothermal and hydrothermal resources, ocean energy, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas, and biogas.

Support is provided in the form of a non-repayable grant.
