SOLINFO 2 : Technology transfer for the European building industry

Objective

This project aims to develop a number of innovative mechanisms and tools which can improve the information flow of results from researchers to users such as architects and developers in particular and the building industry in general.

The activities in the project SOLINFO 2 are:

Revision and extension of the European passive Solar Handbook with additional volumes including passive solar design, catalogue of components and products, guide to literature and software.

Maintain a cooperation network of national experts which will support dissemination activities in each member state.

Provide information and professional support in the form of Newsletter and Research Digest services and in various media based on EC competition material, the passive Solar Handbook, etc; maintain update and expand existing databases.

Examine the practical needs of architects, builders, engineers and developers, in order to make the industry and public more aware of energy performance. The feasibility will be investigated (in collaboration with EUROCODE) of an European Energy Cost index for buildings; an award for energy efficient building will also be initiated.

Explore the possibility of setting regional design advice services in combination with a number of energy saving design studies for most common prototype buildings.

Prepare and publish (in association with industrial sponsors) three sets of teaching materials for undergraduate architectural education. Each set to comprise a coherent integrated suite of multi-media teaching resources (text, slide, OHP transparency, poster) designed to be of support in the various European curricula (including design, building physics, technology), for lecture/seminar/studio coursework teaching methods.

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.
