Mission Statement
This World Renewable Energy Congress and Network Forum is aimed at the
international community and Mediterranean countries. The first forum was held
in2010inFrance,followedbyoneinMoroccoin2012.Thisvolumerepresentsthe
best paper submissions from the third forum, which took place in Florence, Italy,
from25to28August2015.
The forum was arranged to highlight the importance of growing renewable
energy applications in two main sectors: electricity generation and sustainable
building. The Mediterranean region was chosen to illustrate the viability of using
renewable energy to satisfy all its energy needs. We hope to demonstrate the
effectiveness of renewable energy in these countries to act as a beacon of light
fortherestoftheworldtofollow.Renewablesarethecornerstoneandfoundation
of a truly sustainable energy future. The World Renewable Energy Network’s
mission is to promote enabling policies and to further develop a broad range of
renewable energy technologies and applications in all sectors – for electricity
production, heating and cooling, agricultural applications, water desalination, and
industrialapplications,aswellasforthetransportsectors,leadingtoABETTER,
