Report: EnerBuild - Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development Thematic Network on Energy in the Built Environment

The EnerBuild RTD (Research and Technological Development) Network seeks to promote Energy efficiency in Buildings. The website presents the results of some 57 EC-supported research projects that can enhance the energy and environmental performance of buildings, together with related information and links to further sources.

The site includes Newsletters, Papers & Posters, Leaflets, Research Projects, a Virtual Bookcase and information relating to Thematic Groups, such as:

Solar Technologies
Lighting
Mechanical Heating and Cooling
PV in Buildings
Building Components
Building & Urban Design

The Network was extended to include 17 participants from the Newly Associated States (NAS) in mid-2002 with the following objectives:

To raise awareness and promote NAS participation in the European Commission programmes on building-related energy research;
To assist the NAS in the process of upgrading their construction industry, including materials manufacturing, to a comparable level of competitiveness to other EU Member States, prior to entry into the European Union;
To address non-technical barriers to the take-up of research results;
To examine the characteristics of the expanded EU market, technological, economic, social and educational dimensions, as it relates to building energy research;
To identify potential target market sectors on the basis of potential benefits;
To develop and regularly update a joint RTD strategy which is aimed at achieving the Network objectives and to identify the need for new RTD activities and studies.
