Achieved GoalsVision 2030

November 2005February 2005 June 2007

IdentificationPrioritising+ Roadmap

+ FAs SRAs


New Goals for ECTP

1. Promote and Update its Strategic Research Agenda and its Implementation Action Plan

2. Promote and Follow Research Projects in line with its Implementation Action Plan

3. Launch and Support a Joint Technology Initiative on Energy Efficient Buildings

+ Promote the dissemination and exploitation of R&D results within the Construction Sector, in order to improve innovation developments

A new structure to meet a new challenge


Roadmap for the next 6 years on how ECTP wishes that these priorities be fulfilled through:

• European programmes (FP7, …)• Multinational programmes

(Eureka, Eranet, Eranet+, …) • National programmes• Research infrastructures• JTI• …

1. ECTP is promoting its SRA Implementation Action Plan


A Technologies for Healthy, Safe, Accessible and Stimulating Indoor Environments for All

B Innovative Use of Underground Space

C New Technologies, Concepts and High-tech Materials for Efficient and Clean Buildings

D Reduce Environmental and Man-made Impacts of Built Environment and Cities

E Sustainable Management of Transports and Utilities Networks

F A Living Cultural Heritage for an Attractive Europe

G Improve Safety and Security within the Construction Sector

H New Integrated Processes for the Construction Sector

Needed Budget for R&D 2007-2013


• at FP7 level• 1st calls in 2007• 2nd calls planned in mid-

November

• at trans-national levels, through the support to• An Era-net on Construction and Operation of

Buildings: Eracobuild• An Era-net on Cultural Heritage• A Eureka Umbrella: EurekaBuild

• at national levels, through the support to NTPs

2. ECTP is promoting R&D projects


Eracobuild (2008-2010)Cooperation between national programmes

on Construction and Operation of BUILDings 6 joint calls in Erabuild (2004-2007)

(ICT, Industrialization, RFID, BIM-IFC, Sustainable Renovation, Performance Indicators)

Significant and increasing budgets made available for transnational research projects (> 5 M€ national money in Erabuild)

Growing importance of other joint activities

NEW FP7 Eracobuild towards an ERANET+


To mobilise the construction sector in each country in order

to prepare Eureka projects, close to ECTP & NTPs research

priorities

Contacts with Public National Administrations to get support

for Eureka projects

EurekaBuild IdeasMore than 85 project ideas available on the website


3 new projects so far endorsed by Eureka


• A big challenge for EuropeAll countries must drastically and rapidly

reduce their CO2 emissionsand Europe should also increase its energy independence

• What about construction ?– Are we all aware that construction has its share of

responsibility?– Buildings use 40 % of total EU energy consumption– Construction industry generates 1/3 of GHG in Europe– Even new buildings are far from being all energy efficient– Replacement rate is very small (1 to 2 % per year)

We have to provide NOW solutions for NEW and EXISTING buildings

3. ECTP is promoting the E2B JTI. Why ?


• Our Big Challenge– A huge challenge therefore lies in the hands of the

Construction Sector• It is of strategic and vital importance for Europe• It should be seen at transnational level• Construction market organisation is not ideal• Existing Community instruments are inadequate• Business as usual is not an option

– But it raises high hopes and could:• Significantly contribute to CO2 reduction• Bring new knowledge, raise awareness and boost research• Develop new markets and transform the construction

sector

ECTP High Level Group decided in June 2007

to fully support the preparation of a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI)

on Energy Efficient Buildings (E2B)


JTI E2B Energy Efficiency Buildings

Leaders: Acciona, Bouygues

"The overall objective of E2B JTI isto deliver and implement buildingand district concepts that have thetechnical, economic and societalpotential to cut drastically theenergy consumption in existing andnew buildings within 2030, therebycontributing to improve the energyindependence of EU."


• E2B JTI research fields (1)– A more efficient envelope

• Improved materials (insulation, glazing, energy storage…)

• Bioclimatic architecture (natural ventilation, solar radiation, color, vegetation and water…)

• Improved design (new software)– Better equipment and

systems• More efficient electric appliances• Hihgly efficient HVAC equipment• Improved monitoring• Stronger systemic approach


• E2B JTI research fields (2)– Stronger integration of renewable energies

• Solar PV• Solar thermal• Wind turbines

– New commissioning, performance based– Change collective and individual behavior

• By harmonized EU regulations• Promotion by public sector• Disseminate global costing, think long-term• Improve individual behavior


The Wave concept: research, demonstration and feedback.During JTI duration continuous on-going research will feed demonstration projects.

With Design and Build lasting ~ 36 months and one year of operation for first feedback, 3 or 4 "waves" can be expected in a ten-year program.


E2B JTI Deliverables– New materials, components and systems for energy

saving, and renewable energy production– Reliable simulation tools for various design levels– Coherent European guidelines and regulations for

optimum design in energy efficiency– Assessment methods to integrate economical, social

and environmental aspects, taking care of regional differences

– Incentives for individuals and retrofitting projects– Clients oriented new energy services– New business models with global costing and new

commissioning– Exemplary energy efficient districts at reasonable cost
