Integrated energy design in public buildings EU intend

The buildings sector accounts for 40% of the energy requirements in Europe, which is more than by industryor transport. That is a lot and it is too much! Buildingstherefore have a major part to play in meeting the emissions reductions targets! And buildings of the futureshould therefore be designed in mutual cooperation in the design teams, i.e. between architects, developers,clients, engineers, etc. from day one of the design phase. This paper presents an EU supported project commenced in January 2007 looking especially on the processes of integrated energy design - IED.
