PROFessional multi-disciplinary TRAining and Continuing development in skills for NZEB principles (PROF-TRAC)
Start date: Mar 1, 2015, End date: Feb 28, 2018,
A successful design and construction process for NZE buildings and renovation requires to follow an integrated design approach and to work in multi-disciplinary teams. However, this approach is still not common PROF-TRAC offers a solution for this barrier by developing and maintaining an education platform for dedicated trainings and continuous development for professionals, i.e., both technical e ...

Confronting Wicked Problems: Adapting Architectural Education to the New Situation in Europe
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Architecture as an education, a discipline and a profession has to redefine and release its potential for problem-solving and innovation within a new economic and societal context. This new normal implies that the knowledge basis, teaching methods and role models transferred in architectural education have to be adapted to a new reality. There is a strong demand for diversification both in archite ...

Affordable and Adaptable Public Buildings through Energy Efficient Retrofitting (A2PBEER)
Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,
Buildings consume about 40% of total final energy in Europe, and those built before 1980 represent 95% of this energy consumption. The low renovation rate of building stock (1% per year) means that boosting energy efficient buildings’ retrofitting is the only way to reach EU’s “20-20-20” targets. The higher impact will be achieved through interventions in non-residential buildings, as their energy ...

Development of Systemic Packages for Deep Energy Renovation of Residential and Tertiary Buildings including Envelope and Systems (INSPIRE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2016,
Most of the energy consumption in Europe is due to heating and cooling used for domestic, tertiary and industrial purposes; This energy is largely produced by directly burning fossil fuels with a negative environmental impact. RES directive and the SET Plan focuses its attention on the use of RES to drive systems for heating and cooling in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and the dependenc ...

Low Embodied Energy Advanced (Novel) Insulation Materials and Insulating Masonry Components for Energy Efficient Buildings (LEEMA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
A review of the embodied energy values of the various building materials shows that the embodied energy of the most widely used insulation materials in construction applications is characterised by very high values. This mainly results either from the energy intensive conditions applied for the manufacturing of the mineral based insulation materials or from the high embodied energies of the oil-ba ...

OPEN HOUSE - Benchmarking and mainstreaming building sustainability on the EU based on transparency and openness (open source and availability) from model to implementation (OPEN HOUSE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,
The overall objective of OPEN HOUSE is to develop and to implement a common European transparent building assessment methodology, complementing the existing ones, for planning and constructing sustainable buildings by means of an open approach and technical platform. OPEN HOUSE will develop a transparent approach able to emerge collectively in an open way across the EU. This approach will be commu ...
