Objective
A wide variety in new products such as photovoltaic (PV) systems and solar collectors, roof lights, ventilation devices, insulation and safety devices is being introduced in roofing. The roof changes into an Active Roof: it supplies electricity and hot water and it provides daylight and ventilation. Active Roofs contribute significantly to the quality of the living space under the roof.
The quality of these products as well as safety equipment for installation and maintenance is, when installed in a roof system, in many cases insufficient because there are no standards or legislation to assess their performance. At the same time, good products get poorly installed by inexperienced roofers. This leads to significant numbers of (preventable) failures from rain- and snow water ingress, wind damage and condensation. Due to this, failure costs in the EU total approximately 2 billion euro each year. The secondary damage to the interior of the building is at least of the same order of magnitude.
The vast majority of this damage is preventable if adequate pre-standards and guidance for testing and installation exist. In order to arrive at such a situation, the main deliverables of EUR-ACTIVE ROOFer are:
1. New knowledge on the environmental actions on European roofs, in particular wind and seismic effects, rain, snow and condensation.
2. Performance criteria and assessment methods for wind and seismic loading, driving rain, snowdrift and condensation.
3. Prototypes of innovative concepts for Active Roofs.
4. Reduced risks for the European roofing trade and installers of solar energy systems, enabling them to fully guarantee the quality of their products.
5. Guidelines, best practice catalogues and maintenance & safety devices.
6. Training programmes for the European active roofers.
This will help the roofing trade to improve their products and to reduce barriers to trade, restore consumer confidence and improve competitiveness, so they can increase their markets.

Funding Scheme
Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.
