Solar building-European Union research and development programmes
The European Commission's (EC) energy R&D programmes have completed two decades of progress. In the building sector, special attention has been given to technology transfer and research dissemination, because of the particular problems which arise given the characteristics of the European construction industry, its diversity and fractured structure and rather conservative nature. Projects such as the earlier Project MONITOR and BUILDING 2000, and the more recent INNOBUILD and SOLINFO projects and the Solar House programme together represent an unusual, if not unparalleled, effort aimed at bringing about technical change in building design and providing the necessary design and evaluation support and tools to professional architects and students and, to a lesser extent, to engineers. These projects are complemented by (and draw heavily from) an ambitious but clearly-targeted series of research projects investigating major energy-related issues concerning the heating, cooling and daylighting of buildings and deficiencies in knowledge of climate and human comfort, and building performance; activities such as the construction of passive solar test centres in ten EU Member States, each typically with four identical test cells equipped with interchangeable south walls, identical heating and cooling systems, sensors and data acquisition systems. There is now in Europe considerable emphasis on the challenges of building in warmer climates, and on advancing daylighting design and performance and developing new materials.
