Advancing Sustainable Energy in Urban Planning: EnerBuild-RTD Network

Join the Thematic Network on Energy in the Built Environment to exchange information, evaluate energy technologies, and overcome barriers in sustainable building practices. Collaborate with experts to enhance research and development in energy efficiency for buildings. Drive towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions, decreasing energy consumption, and increasing renewable energy sources to meet European targets by 2010.

  1. Kick-off meeting ENERBUILD RTD: Thematic Network on Energy in the Built Environment Brussels October 9-10, 2000

  2. European Energy policy Main drives: Security of supply, sustainability, competitivity Context: • Environmental constraints: IPCC (Kyoto protocol), “White book” for RE. • Electricity market liberalization in Europe. • Demand-side management of the energy system.

  3. European Research Policy FP5 (1999-2002) ENERGY Programme Objective : Research, Development &Demonstration on sustainable Energytechnologiesand services Targets for 2010: • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8% (from 1990 level) • Reduce energy end-use by 18%(from 1995) • Increase renewable energy share to 12%

  4. ENERGY Key Action 6 Building sector target : energy consumption reduced by > 30% by 2010 . Integrate energy issues in urban planning . Improve the building envelope components • Increase indoor systems energy efficiency (heating/cooling, ventilation, lighting, BEMS) • Increase the use of renewables into buildings to 12% of total building energy use

  5. A Thematic Network: what for? >>>to bring about information exchange >>> to assist project monitoring by thematic groups >>> toaddress externalities, socio-economic issues and non-technical barriers >>>to help co-operation between EU and national programmes and with third countries >>>to provide strategic guidance from high level specialists from Universities, research centers and industry

  6. The EnerBuild-RTD thematic network Rationale : 1) The Construction industry is fragmented into multiple sectors and actors. 2) Results from JOULE RTD projects (200 building-related) require more valorisation . 3) The Energy issue is not integrated in the whole construction process.

  7. ENERBUILD - RTDObjectives • To summarise and evaluate results from FP4-JOULE 3 projects • To exchange technical experience between sectors through thematic groups. • To help overcome barriers to disseminate energy-efficient use of technologies in buildings. • To identify new research needs.

  8. ENERBUILD - RTD deliverables • 1 - State-of-the-art review of energy technologies by thematic groups • 2 - Creation of an Internet site • 3 - Links with other related networks (T.R.A.on Construction Technologies, IQ-test, etc…) • 4 - Publications (Newsletters, posters, brochures, articles,…) • 5 - Strategy paper on “Energy RTD in Buildings” for FP6/ERA

  9. ENERBUILD - RTD long-term goals • Improve the coordination of European Research in the area of Energy Use in Buildings • Prepare a European integrated approach at City, Regional and National level. • Prepare environmentally compatible European standards for Buildings. • Extend coordination with Eastern European countries.
