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

5. Research Directorate GeneralEUROPEAN COMMISSION ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Non-Nuclear Energy Program 4. Integrate energy issues in urban planning. Improve the building envelope components Increase indoor systems energy efficiency (heating/cooling, ventilation, lighting, BEMS)Increase indoor systems energy efficiency (heating/cooling, ventilation, lighting, BEMS) Increase the use of renewables into buildings to 12% of total building energy useIncrease the use of renewables into buildings to 12% of total building energy use ENERGY Key Action 6 Building sector target : energy consumption reduced by > 30% by 2010

6. Research Directorate GeneralEUROPEAN COMMISSION ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Non-Nuclear Energy Program 5 >>> to bring about information exchange >>> to assist project monitoring by thematic groups >>> to address 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 A Thematic Network: what for?

7. Research Directorate GeneralEUROPEAN COMMISSION ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Non-Nuclear Energy Program 6 “ Improved Quality in Test and Evaluation Procedures of Solar and Thermal performances of building components” (April 2000- March 2003): Objectives:. Update quality procedures.. Training of PASSYS test-site managers.. Feasibility studies for standardisation 1st thematic network: IQ-TEST

8. Research Directorate GeneralEUROPEAN COMMISSION ENERGY, ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. Non-Nuclear Energy Program 7 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. The EnerBuild-RTD thematic network The EnerBuild-RTD thematic network
