NEXT-Buildings NEXT-Buildings status summer 2014


This project derives from some of the most successful Cities and Actors in the CONCERTO program. They now want to demonstrate the NEXT-Building generation of low energy buildings also called active houses, which are not only buildings, but active components in the overall integrated energy systems. The target is to demonstrate affordable solutions for social housing and revitalisation of town areas. The solutions will reduce CO2 at no or negative cost seen in a total perspective. Targeted CO2 reduction cost can be minus € 80/tonne taking the benefits of lower energy bills into account, to even better figures when national grants are included. It is possible to simultaneously save CO2 and money! Key barrier is the initial investment.

OSIRYS Forest based composites for façades and interior partitions to improve indoor air quality in new builds and restoration


The OSIRYS project will aim to improve indoor environmental quality and energy efficiency by developing forest-based biocomposites for façades and interior partitions to be applied in retrofitting and new building construction.

PROFICIENT Collective self-organised housing PROFICIENT aims to create large business opportunities for SMEs in the construction sector by exploiting the newly emerging process of Collective Self-Organised (CSO) housing for constructing and retrofitting energy- efficient residential districts.


PROFICIENT responds to the EU-wide trend of self-organised housing process in order to boost the quality and the scale of energy-efficient buildings. Self-organised housing process --through which a group of homeowners carries out new construction and retrofitting projects on a district scale-- reflects a raising awareness towards sustainability and the increasing self- managing capability of European society

READY4SmartCities ICT roadmap and data interoperability for energy systems in smart cities


READY4SmartCities operates in a European context where other initiatives are currently running in order to create a common approach on Smart Cities. Such initiatives, even if of fundamental importance for the EU, have some relevant gaps not allowing them to fully cover fundamental aspects for Smart Cities, i.e. to define a common data framework allowing full interoperability among different city system, as well as a consistent vision on how ICT can support energy systems in smart cities.

RESSEEPE Retrofitting solutions and services for the enhancement of energy efficiency in public edification


RESEEPE will bring together design and decision-making tools, innovative building fabric manufacturers and a strong demonstration programme to demonstrate the improved building performance through retrofitting.

RETROKIT Toolboxes for systemic retrofitting The vision of the RetroKit project is to develop and demonstrate multifunctional, modular, low cost and easy to install prefabricated modules in order to significantly increase the EU retrofitting rate and contribute to EU energy reduction commitments.
