Project objective(s) and state of the art
INTECO BUILD Project - Consortium OVM-ICCPET,RO
- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• The purpose of this project is to enable the
  promotion and dissemination of the international,
  national and/or other actions in the area of
  Eco-buildings in order to lead to well integrated
  and efficient solutions for reducing the
  dependency of the EU on conventional fuels (by
  reducing to a minimum the amount of conventional
  fuel needed for heating, cooling and lightning of
  the buildings).
• The project aims to asses the potential of using
  eco-buildings technologies in the EU and ACC
  countries using the most innovative state of the
  art technologies in Europe and to promote large
  scale implementation of eco-buildings
  technologies.
• The necessity of the project is given by
  considerable differences between states from the
  EU and also between states from the EU and states
  that are aiming to join the EU (Romania, Bulgaria
  and Turkey). The activities of this project aims
  to promote and disseminate the results of
  technology research and demonstration projects,
  including any lessons learned concerning the
  policy and legislative context in which they were
  implemented. This will lead a closer
  international co-operation between all the actors
  involved (research institutes, construction
  companies, etc) of the countries involved in the
  project / from the EU and ACC countries.

Cooperation between INTECO BUILD and ECO-BUILD
and SMART ECO SSA projectsINTECO BUILD

• INTECO BUILD project is running in parallel with
  the ECO-BUILD and SMART ECO Strategic Support
  Actions funded by the European Commission under
  the same programme. In order to maximise the
  synergy between the three projects and minimise
  the duplication of work, a coordination plan was
  drawn up to coordinate the work within this
  cluster.
• The first step of the coordination plan foresees
  a clear thematic delineation of the three
  projects INTECO BUILD and SMART ECO will
  concentrate on dissemination of new technologies
  and establishing a stakeholder vision of
  eco-buildings respectively, while ECO-BUILD will
  put its emphasis on best-practice implementation
  and policy assessment.
• The second part of the coordination relates to
  the concerted implementation of the three
  parallel projects. This includes coordination
  meetings, the joint organisation of 2 cluster
  international workshops, common dissemination
  activities and mutual project support. However,
  it is important to note that none of the common
  activities are in any way joint legal
  responsibilities of two or more projects, i.e.
  each project is clearly responsible for their
  part of the work and is in no way dependent on
  the activities of the other two projects.
• Specifically, the three projects have agreed to
  carry out the following joint activities or
  mutual assistance

and SMART ECO SSA projectsINTECO BUILD

• Each project will have to establish some sort of
  a database of relevant stakeholders. The project
  coordination plan foresees that the content of
  each database is shared with the other two
  projects to allow a maximum coverage of
  stakeholders in Europe.
• In all three projects internal meetings are
  foreseen in regular intervals. The coordinators
  of the three projects will attempt to arrange to
  meet occasion of one of those internal project
  meetings and/or to hold regular change of
  information by phone or e-mails. This ensures the
  regular coordination and information flows
  between the three projects
• A common workshop is organised in 28 May, 2008 in
  Brussels. This corresponds to the first ECO-BUILD
  workshop (see section 7.6. below). The subject of
  the workshop will be to present the cluster
  projects with regard to their topics along the
  lines of
• National and EU best practice (ECO Build)
• EU wide non-fossil fuel state of the art and
  existing potential for RES, RUE integration in
  new eco-building design concept (INTECO BUILD)
• Specific technological potential of a technology
  (PHDC project)
• Vision, sustainable construction and derived
  requirements, contribution of innovation (tech
  and non-tech) to vision (Smart-ECO)
• The 2nd common workshop will be organised around
  month 22 24 for dissemination purposes,
  probably in Brussels in March 2009.
• The dissemination activities (such as
  newsletters, etc.) will be coordinated in a way
  that a small section will be added to each
  newsletter informing about the results and
  progress of the other two projects.

- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• The plan for using and disseminating knowledge is
  correspondingly prepared to ensure an optimal use
  of the project results, being addressed to
  research organisations as well as to industry
  SMEs and large companies from targeted countries
  and from other member states in order to improve
  the level of acceptance at EU level of cost
  effective eco-buildings technologies.
• Web page www.intecobuild.eu
• Through the project web-page the information on
  the EU programs are available in real time, via
  e-mail and the web page of the project dedicated
  to this research area.
• Also by accessing the web page of the project
  every person/institute from EU and ACC will be
  able to find/get information about the
  possibilities of making a partnership with
  research institutes or SMEs in the field of
  eco-buildings.
• We have also created a network section on our web
  page where specialists from the consortium can
  answer to different questions coming from peoples
  and institutes, regarding the EU projects from
  the field of eco-buildings practices and
  technologies.
• Networking
• By facilitating the contacts between research
  institutes from EU and the research institutes
  from the targeted countries the later will gain
  experience in dealing with EU projects by working
  together with experimented institutes and/or
  universities.
• The connection between the research institutes
  and universities on one side and the SMEs and
  industry on other side will be strengthened
• The liaison with SMART ECO, ECO BUILD and PHDC
  project will be ensured by participating at
  common international cluster workshops, organised
  in relation to the dissemination activities,
  workshops, seminars and conference, organised by
  each of the cluster projects.
• The project will disseminate on large scale the
  main priorities of the EU regarding the research
  areas, to guide the new members and accesion
  countries research activities towards specific
  matters. This will allow the ACC countries
  participants to co-ordinate their research areas
  to the ones from the EU.
• The project INTECO BUILD, is keen to mobilise the
  critical mass of resources of the participant
  organisations in terms of researchers, ST
  equipment and cluster communication networks to
  fulfil the project objectives, clearly providing
  an added value in carrying out the specific
  support actions at European level.

FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• Besides the collaborators directly involved in
  the project universities, research centers, SMEs
  and private persons will have access to the
  projects results and the possibility of getting
  information via the project web page.
• The Web page of the project is constantly
  up-dated to include all new information gathered
  within the project for dissemination of relevant
  information in Eco-buildings sector.
• The e-Newsletters will be emailed to
  universities, research programmes, governmental
  organisations, industrial companies and other
  economic actors and to other interested parts.
• It will be a tool for improving the exchange of
  information between research centers and for
  strengthening the liaisons with the
  socio-economic sector.
• By the e-Newsletters, the professors and students
  in technical universities, will be informed about
  the project results, to be aware of the latest
  information related to the state of the art
  technologies available on the market in the field
  of eco-buildings
• Their feed backs containing new ideas for
  technological development and for market
  penetration of new technological results will be
  analysed and promoted on the web page of the
  project.
• Also a series of scientific events are organised
  within this project, such as workshops,
  seminaries and round tables for a number of 30-50
  participants.
• These events are directed towards scientists and
  specialists active in the field of RES
  technologies, students and young researchers,
  administrators of research programmes,
  governmental organisations and NGOs, decision
  factors, policy makers and technology and
  equipment producers.
• The aim of these events is to evaluate the actual
  development stage, to identify opportunities and
  to address the barriers to implement commercial
  application of innovative and successful
  eco-building technologies and to improve
  communication between the key players involved.

What can WE do to save energy?
INTECO BUILD Project - Consortium OVM-ICCPET,RO
- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• Energy efficiency begins at home.
• The suggestions below might represent small steps
  towards reaching the ultimate goal of 20 energy
  savings, but every gesture can make a difference
  not least to our energy bills.
• 1. By turning the thermostat down by one degree,
  you can save as much as 5-10 of your energy
  bill.
• 2. Do not leave your television, video, DVD
  player and music system on stand-by mode. They
  will continue to consume electricity.
• 3. Thermostatic Radiator Valves allow you to
  control the temperature of each room and thereby
  reduce your energy bills.
• 4. Regularly defrosting your fridge/freezer will
  help keep it running efficiently.
• 5. Remember not to leave your fridge/freezer
  doors open for too long. For every minute they
  are open, it takes a further three minutes to
  reach again the set temperature.
• 6. Cover saucepans and turn the heat down when
  cooking. Using a lid saves half the energy.
• 7. Wait until you have a full load before using
  your dishwasher.
• 8. Turn off the lights when you are not in the
  room.
• 9. Use low energy light bulbs wherever you can as
  they use less than a quarter of the electricity
  of standard light bulbs and last up to 15 times
  longer.
• 10. Insulating your loft, wall cavities as well
  as your hot water tank will mean saving both
  energy and money.
• Saving 20 by 2020 means
• Consumer yearly savings of between 200 and
  1000 for an average household. For example, few
  basic insulation measures can easily save 200 on
  the annual energy bill, while a further 40 can
  be saved by replacing an old fridge with a more
  recent and more economical (high-efficiency)
  model.
• Environment saving 780 Mtn CO2 by 2020, which is
  twice the EU2012 Kyoto target.
• Industry strengthening the competitiveness of
  our economy and facilitating the creation of as
  many as one million jobs in Europe.

SAVING 20 BY 2020
INTECO BUILD Project - Consortium OVM-ICCPET,RO
- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• ACTION PLAN FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY
• Change our electric bulbs, our boilers and our
  refrigerators, insulate our houses, buy low
  pollution cars, use public transport these are
  some of the things we should do if we want to
  protect our environment and guarantee a stable
  supply of energy for our future.
• Yet, in spite of record high energy prices,
  increasing environmental concerns and concerns
  over security of supply, Europe continues to
  waste a whopping 20 of its energy possibly
  even more. By the year 2020 this could cost us
  well over 100 billion, as well as cause further
  damage to our environment, a cost which cannot be
  expressed in monetary terms. But lack of energy
  efficiency also affects each and every one of us
  on a far more personal level by using outdated
  energy-consuming equipment and failing to take
  simple measures to save energy, we are driving up
  our energy bills and inadvertently raising our
  cost of living.
• The market alone will not enable us to make the
  necessary energy savings.
• The prices of electricity and petrol, which are
  certainly expensive for part of the population,
  do not reflect the genuine cost of energy to our
  society and do not encourage consumers to take
  advantage of all or part of the savings that are
  available.
• According to a recent Eurobarometer study on
  attitudes towards energy (2006), 26 of Europeans
  would continue to use their car just as often if
  the price of fuel were to reach 2 euros, while 31
  would use it just "a bit less often". Indeed,
  at a time when energy sources are becoming
  scarce, the European Union is still facing a
  growth in energy consumption. Furthermore, the
  room for manoeuvre on the energy supply side is
  still limited. Renewable energy has not evolved
  enough to replace oil and gas in a sufficient
  quantity. At the same time saving energy is the
  easiest, most rapid and most effective way to
  answer the challenge of our energy dependence and
  reduce damage to the environment.

The consumption of energy in Europe
INTECO BUILD Project - Consortium OVM-ICCPET,RO
- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• The consumption of energy in Europe is
  substantial, while the demand growth of transport
  and electricity represent the most worrying
  trend. If nothing is done to reverse this
  tendency, energy consumption could still increase
  by almost 10 over the next 15 years.
• Transport alone represents almost 20 of total EU
  primary consumption. However, 98 of the
  transport market depends on oil. Transport, a
  vast majority of which is road, is thus
  responsible for 26 of CO2 emissions.
• Mobility, particularly by road, experienced
  strong growth over the last 30 years.
• Thirty years ago people travelled an average of
  17 km per day by car, today in Europe the travel
  is up to 35 km on average. Road transport also
  accounts for almost 45 of freight transport, a
  figure which is expected to increase further by
  2010. The supremacy of road transport today is
  synonymous with congestion and pollution and
  costs the European economy around half a point of
  GDP per year.
• Buildings alone use 40 of the energy consumed in
  the European Union. Too much energy continues to
  be wasted in buildings because of inefficient
  heating and cooling systems and lighting.
• Finally, certain new phenomena also contribute to
  the rise in our energy consumption, such as
  increasing use of air conditioning, the craze for
  gas guzzling off-road vehicles and the
  introduction of the stand-by mode for electrical
  equipment, which today represents almost 7 of
  total electricity consumption on its own.

- Co-ordinator, NKUA, GR MERKAT, TR ARMINES,
FR IPCT INST RO 1st International Workshop of
the INTECO BUILD Project Nantes, 12 June, 2008

• The Action Plan for Energy Efficiency has an
  overall objective to outline a coherent framework
  of policies and measures with a view to saving a
  substantial part of the 20 of EU annual primary
  energy consumption by 2020. It proposes a
  selection of cost-effective energy efficiency
  improvement initiatives to be put in place and
  implemented in the coming six years. The ambition
  is to mobilise market actors and to transform the
  internal energy market, with the objective of
  providing EU citizens with the globally most
  energy-efficient buildings, appliances,
  processes, cars and energy systems.
• Increased awareness and behavioural change also
  represent an important pre-requisite.
• Finally, energy efficiency issues should also be
  addressed on a global level, in partnership with
  other nations, other international organisations
  and with industry.
• Monitoring, reviewing and updating of the Action
  Plan will be carried out, using among other
  instruments, national Energy Efficiency Action
  Plans (which are already required by Member
  States further to Directive 2006/32/EC) and
  Strategic EU Energy Reviews.
• Building performance requirements and "passive
  houses" the Commission will propose expanding
  the scope of the Energy Performance of Buildings
  Directive in 2009 and will propose EU minimum
  performance requirements for new and renovated
  buildings, following impact assessments. A
  strategy for so-called very low energy or
  "passive" houses (houses without traditional
  heating systems and active cooling that feature
  very good insulation levels, mechanical
  ventilation systems and highly efficient heat
  recovery) will be developed by the end of 2008,
  to ensure a more wide-spread deployment of those
  houses by 2015. The EU Commission will set a good
  example by leading the way, as far as its own
  buildings are concerned.

• The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive
  (EPBD) Buildings Platform is an information
  service for helping the implementation of the
  Buildings' Directive. The aim of the latter is to
  reduce the energy use of buildings without
  compromising the indoor environment and services.
  The implementation of the Energy Performance of
  Buildings Directive provides Europe with tools
  for this. The Platform was launched by the
  European Commission in the frame of the
  Intelligent Energy Europe, 2003-2006
  programme and places particular focus on 5 main
  themes calculation procedures, minimum energy
  performance requirements, certification of
  buildings, inspection of boilers and
  air-conditioning systems and requirements for
  experts and inspectors.
• http//www.buildingsplatform.org/cms/
• This service is useful for practitioners and
  consultants, experts in energy agencies, interest
  groups and national policy makers in the 27
  Member States. Its objective is to support the
  full and continued implementation of the EPBD by
• - Setting up mechanisms for the transfer of
  information between all stakeholders
• - Helping to implement the Directive by specific
  actions and coordinating the activities of the
  various stakeholders
• - Providing input and tools to support the
  Commission and the Member States in the follow-up
  and evaluation of the impact of the Directive.
• To accelerate the implementation of the Energy
  Performance of Buildings Directive, the European
  Commission is supporting the transformation
  process inter alia by financing the EPBD
  Concerted Action. The non-public EPBD Concerted
  Action is established for the exchange of
  experience concerning the implementation of the
  EPBD in the Member States on working staff level.
  It is of key importance in practice for all
  Member States since it was started in 2005.
