Documents, reports (5)

KPI metrics

KPI metrics: A comprehensive list of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and their corresponding calculation equations will be provided. These KPIs will play a crucial role in benchmarking the testing processes conducted in WP3, WP4, and WP5 for both components and the overall system. It refers to task 2.4.

Energy demand

Energy demand: The energy demand for each DEMO site will be presented for a one-year period, accounting for seasonal variations. This encompasses both electricity consumption and cooling demand. It refers to task 2.2.

Preliminary SEDO plan

Preliminary SEDO plan: Initial blueprint detailing key messages, target audiences, and activities for stakeholders' engagement, dissemination, and outreach. Foundational for refining and implementing the comprehensive SEDO strategy throughout the project. It refers to task 8.1.

Educational Needs

Educational Needs: This report presents a thorough analysis of the educational requirements within the African context for stakeholders involved in the AGRI-COOL project. The resulting documentation serves as a foundational guide for crafting a tailored educational program to address these needs. It refers to task 7.5.

Background Report

Background Report: The Background Report provides a detailed overview of each demonstration site, incorporating historical weather data and key specifications such as site size, crop types, and frequency of harvest. This foundational document ensures precise adaptation of the AGRI-COOL system to the unique conditions of each site. It refers to task 2.1.
