The “Space” experienced?

1. The “Space” experienced?

2. SPACES Living space (apartment buildings, private homes) Working space (office buildings, industrial working places) Recreation space (gyms, swimming pools) Public space (hotels, stations, schools, theatres) Transport (land: cars, busses, trains, trams; and air: aeroplanes, satellites)

3. EXPERIENCED Safety Health & comfort Sustainability Energy use

4. Health, comfort and safety • Feeling of safetyemerging issue • Health and comfort of occupants is far from ideal Related to(?): • Indoor Environment quality • Increase of the ageing population • Increasing individualisation We do know: • Domestic: increase in asthma and allergies • Workplace: losses in work productivity

5. Direct financial impact to business (Fisk)

6. Energy use and sustainability • Policies towards enhanced sustainability • Industrial shift from a product towards performance based approach • High potentialities for energy savings • Much research and many actions: still more use of energy is foreseen

7. Energy use and CO2 emissions in Europe.

8. Contradiction or optimisation - European (global) targets • To reduce the demand for energy by 18% by the year 2010, to contribute to meeting the EU’s commitments to combat climate change and to improve the security of energy supply • Health targets specified by the WHO Europe: • “By the year 2015, people in the Region should live in a safer physical environment, with exposure to contaminants hazardous to health at levels not exceeding internationally agreed standard.” (European Health21 target 10) and • “By the year 2015, people in the Region should have greater opportunities to live in healthy physical and social environments at home, at school, at the workplace and in the local community.” (European Health31 target 13)

9. Reasons/causes for failure? • Different incentives or motives of stakeholders • Lack or miscommunication between different stakeholders • Gaps in knowledge for example Performance criteria for healthy buildings • Incomplete or non-existing regulation for indoor environment quality • Existing regulations for other issues can be in contradiction: for example possible effects of energy regulations on indoor environment quality

10. Objective • To realise sustainable low-energy spaces, in which the People of Europe live, work or move in, under healthy, comfortable and safe conditions • Without a coherent and integrated / disciplinary approach, the target of an eco-friendly, sustainable and minimal energy environment on the one hand and the ambition of a healthy, comfortable and safe space on the other appear to be conflicting and contra productive

11. Performance Concept “Ends rather than means”

12. What is needed? A conceptual model for integrated approach of health, comfort, safety, sustainability and energy, understandable to all stakeholders, with which one can: • A. qualify and/or quantify the perception of the People of Europe with respect to health, comfort and safety feelings influenced by different behaviour; • B. assess exposure levels and means to control exposure to unhealthy, uncomfortable, unsafe conditions for the People of Europe; • C. design and build environments that are perceived as healthy, comfortable and safe by the People of Europe and are sustainable and low in energy use at the same time; • D. produce and maintain healthy, comfortable, safe and sustainable low-energy products for enclosed spaces.

13. First questions • What are the performance indicators that describe the comfort, health and safety conditions/perceptions of the People of Europe from their perspective, and • What are the performance indicators that describe the sustainability and energy use of enclosed spaces in which people live, work and move in?

14. International Status • HOPE: Health Optimisation Protocol for Energy-efficient Buildings: Pre-normative and socio-economic research to create healthy and energy-efficient buildings • R&D project (Energie program) • 3 years: start 1 January 2002 • PeBBu: Performance Based Building • thematic network (Growth program) • 4 years: start 1 September 2001 • EOI ECOSPACE

16. Questions • What is a healthy Building and what is energy-efficient building? • What is an energy-efficient healthy building? • Are buildings with energy saving measures energy-efficient? • What is the health status of occupants in buildings with energy saving measures as compared to buildings without energy saving measures? • How can we assure that buildings are healthy and energy-efficient at the same time?

17. Results • A set of qualitative (prescriptive) and quantitative (measurable) performance criteria for healthy and energy-efficient buildings for Europe • A protocol for testing performance criteria for healthy and energy-efficient buildings • To check performance criteria in existing buildings by: • a multi-disciplinary study in 180 office and multi-apartment buildings of which 75% are designed to be energy-efficient • a detailed investigation on at least 32 of the above buildings

18. Results • A database of the health and energy efficiency status of 180 buildings, with information on: • energy consumption and energy efficiency • comfort and health status of the occupants • A protocol for improving a building that is unhealthy and/or not energy-efficient • A public web-site with: • Progress and results of project • Possibility for non-participants to add data on their own buildings into the database and characterise how healthy and energy-efficient their own building is as compared to the investigated buildings

20. Objectives Stimulation and pro-active facilitation of international dissemination and implementation of Performance Based Building in building and construction practice, and maximization of the contribution to this by the international R&D community, through: • stimulation and facilitation of the international programming and coordination of research and implementation projects • Stimulation of actual investments in such research and implementation projects • Providing the EU Network members with an optimal access to knowledge and experience as available in non-EU countries • Coordinated dissemination and implementation of international research in the area of Performance Based Building

25. Tasks foreseen • Stage RTD • Task 1 Conceptual modelling: What are the performance indicators that describe the comfort, health and safety conditions/perceptions of the People of Europe from their perspective, and what are the performance indicators that describe the sustainability and energy use of enclosed spaces in which people live, work and move in? • Task 2 Gaps and RTD: What are the gaps in knowledge? • Task 3 Fundamentals – Innovation: Which fundamental research/innovations are needed to bridge the gaps?
