BEEP Project (2019–2022)

EU-funded | ENI CBC Med Programme

PSSES collaborated with the Centre for Cultural Heritage Preservation (CCHP) in Bethlehem on the Palestinian pilot of BEEP (BIM for Energy Efficiency in the Public Sector), a project funded by the European Union under the ENI CBC Med Programme.


The pilot focused on the historic Morcos Nassar Palace in Bethlehem, using Building Information Modeling (BIM) to plan energy efficiency measures for thermal control, lighting, and hot water production.
