9. R&D for Energy Positive Building and Districts. Our aim
Drastically decrease energy consumption and reduce CO2 emissions in both new and existing buildings providing comfortable and healthy environments for the citizens to work and live.
This is achieved by fostering and engaging an active sector for the production, supply/distribution of advanced systems, solutions and added value services in the design, construction and operation phases.
The aim is to satisfy the needs for the built environment, through the development and deployment of a full Research, Development and Innovation program in those countries where we are present.

10. R&D for Energy Positive Building and Districts. Our Capacities
30 people multidisciplinary scientific team.
Dynamic software for building and districts design.

14. Cooperative Research – EeB PPP
Benefits to research in a PPP scheme:
Forum for discussion, networking and knowledge sharing.
Exploring new business models and market mechanisms with the supporting financial incentives
Facilitating large scale demonstration
Critical mass focused around one topic with clear vision and challenge
The main advantages for industry are:
move faster as an industry
public-private approach

15. Cooperative Research – EeB PPP
The multiannual roadmap establishes a single framework that:
Defines long term plan and common goals through the roadmap
Enables sustainable growth through an industry driven, smart and inclusive plan
Includes Member States input through their involvement in consultations and the active engagement of E2B National Liaison Points
Facilitates collaboration across multiple sectors and up and down the value chain
Addresses challenges at building, district and city level
