EUROPEAN GREEN CITIES

Objective

As a part of large development plans for new-built or retrofit in 11 European Cities, which deal with a total number of up to 30000 dwellings it is proposed to realise local demonstration projects with a total of 645 solar low energy dwellings in DK, FR, ES, IT, UK, BE and AT together with public buildings in FI and GR.
In the European Green Cities it is the intention to introduce an integrated sustainable global solar low energy design using best available technologies in new build and retrofit building projects based on energy and environmental assessment together with a total energy and total economy approach, e.g. using new energy saving measures as the background for creating a realistic market for sustainable and energy efficient building. To ensure that the most cost effective solutions are selected, early price calculations will be performed in co-operation with contractors for all projects.
The innovative sustainable building approach includes :
- introduction of user or humidity controlled reduced ventilation rates of up to 50% of normal standard will be investigated based on improved ventilation design and building materials without unwanted emissions.
- integrated solar heating design with the highest possible contribution in the heating season and avoidance of cooling in summer, PV solar energy for ventilation and optimised energy supply systems with the help of Energy Management System Control.
- a global sustainable low energy design with 40-60% saving on energy for heating and DHW, avoidance of peak loads, and a 30% saving on electricity use together with a 30-40% saving on water use and at least a 50% solar DHW contribution.
The project will be made in two phases, the first phase (Thermie 1996) : start up activities, investigations and design work will be completed and the installation / construction period will be initiated; the 2nd phase (Thermie 1997) :installations / construction, commissioning, monitoring and evaluation phases.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Call for proposal

Procedure for inviting applicants to submit project proposals, with the aim of receiving EU funding.
