Intelligent Energy
-Europe programme, contract n°
EIE/05/110/SI2.420021 Objectives
The implementation of the European Directive on the energy performance
of buildings (December 2002) will impulse some changes that require
innovation and skill. The aim of the TREES project is to organize a
collaboration between researchers -or professionals dealing with innovation-
and teachers, in order to integrate new knowledge in training
: architecture courses and continuing education of social housing
managers. Description
of the work
Important decision makers in
social housing renovation are the managers in social housing associations or
companies, and architects. These groups are therefore targeted and
appropriate educational structures are contacted in order to constitute a
users group to whom the deliverables are proposed for a review and
exploitation. The renovation of social houses
is a specific topic. Therefore modular educational material has been developed : it can be used in a flexible way within more
global courses (e.g. continuing education of architects, building managers
etc.). An internal review among the partners allowed best practice in Europe
to be collected. The users group has been
invited to workshops : the produced material has
been presented and evaluated, then its implementation in courses is being
discussed. The partners have evaluated this feedback and adapted the
material. The final deliverable is now available on the internet, ready to be
used in courses. Results
The final product is in the
form of texts and slides in English. Advanced technologies are described by
specialists (e.g. integrating solar hot water systems on a roof, preheating
ventilation air, insulating and reducing thermal bridges). Tools are proposed
(e.g. thermal calculation, life cycle assessment), allowing to assess the
interest of these technologies in terms of energy saving and improvement of
environmental quality. The presentation of case studies (e.g. European
demonstration projects) illustrates the approach and professional good
practice. The material could eventually be translated for replication in
various countries. It is hoped that harmonisation of the knowledge at a
European level will help to promote good practice, particularly in the new member
states. Disclaimer
