1. NAS - Enerbuild Research-Energy-Environment

2. Main fields of the partners Energy conscious retrofit of existing buildings, Energy efficient new buildings, Energy efficient materials and components, applicable in new and existing buildings, HVAC systems and elements, Active solar systems, integrated systems PV systems, integrated systems Lighting, thermal and visual comfort

3. Main activities of the partners Laboratory tests and monitoring, Simulation, software development, Counselling, PR & dissemination, Higher technical education, training of practising architects and engineers.

5. Missed fields „Low-tech” - traditional materials and constructions, Built-in energy, Water supply and sewage, Operation, maintenance, building management.

14. Further advantages of lower heat load Low temperature heating - possible supply from solar or geothermal system, Better thermal comfort conditions, More stable heat output - “self-control”, Smaller energy collecting surface of solar system - possibility of integrated facades, roofs, Better chance of long-term heat storage,

15. Materials and components Thermal insulation, Bow windows, advanced glazing, Double skin facades, Integrated solar and PV systems HVAC systems, boilers

16. Barriers, constrains - research Restricted centralised funds for basic research, Lack of strong national companies, imported R&D results, Sometimes “second hand” technologies and advises, Slow development of technical facilities, Unstable administration, Long and difficult administration of multilateral projects

17. Barriers, constrains - implementation Existing building stock, Changes in ownership, Lack of capital, False calculations (neglected social costs & environmental protection), Inefficient communication, Standardisation, Bad fashion.

18. Results Modern technologies implemented, Successful multilateral projects, Accredited laboratories, Improved communication (technology and language), more intensive cooperation, Examples of good practice.
