 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Construction, maintenance and operation of buildings are some of Europe’s most energy-consuming activities since about 40 % of the total energy use corresponds to buildings. That notwithstanding, the building sector has been slow to adopt new technologies, materials and processes to reduce energy consumption and climate impact.

This project is about spreading awareness, motivation and information within the building supply chain, particularly concentrating on those upstream stakeholders who will influence choices of technologies, materials, processes and designs philosophies. The overall objective is to reduce energy consumption in the construction and building sector. The specific objectives are: • Increased awareness in the building supply chain, particularly the SMEs, concerning the need and value of reducing energy consumption • Strengthened incentives for all stakeholders to strive towards reduced energy consumption in the design, construction, operation and renovation of buildings • Improved access to information about energy-efficient practices, technologies and methodologies • Improved ability to compare and rate the overall energy efficiency of different products and services against each other

The stated objectives will be reached by setting up a trans-regional network and infrastructure of technology experts, specialists in communications with SMEs and technology brokers.The network will address the identified problems by means of a number of hands-on measures. The main thrust of the project will be centered on a series of seminars and workshops and the launch of a Smartphone Application (“App”). These main actions will be supported by an Internet site and several other activities that will add to the effectiveness of the project as a whole, for instance setting up a reference group of industry representatives and liaising with end-users and public stakeholders to reach all parts of the value chain.'

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Sustainable use of energy is one of the greatest challenges of the 21st century. Fossil fuel supplies are shrinking, delivery can be unreliable, cost is unpredictable and climate change threatens to pass the point of no return. A new app for smartphones under development with EU support of the 'Energising the building sector!' (http://www.enbus.eu/ (ENBUS)) project will make it easy for the end-user when renovating their houses to evaluate options.

The project's main goal is to encourage awareness about and motivation to adopt energy-efficient building systems supported by better information and easy-to-use tools. The freely available app enables comparison of potential energy savings for four different product groups: windows, insulation, ventilation and heating.

In addition, the app provides detailed guidelines and considerations when renovating as well as explanations of search parameters under each product category. Those without a smartphone can take advantage of the http://enbus.eu/gmp (interactive web version).

The beta version of the app prototype was presented during the match-making event at the Ecobuild 2014 conference. Ecobuild is one of the largest international events for sustainable design and construction of new and refurbished buildings. The critical business model for the app has been developed to ensure businesses and companies will want to use it to present and update their products.

Although the project's app is focused on homeowners, it provides the impetus for small and medium-sized enterprises in the construction sector to update and include their product portfolios so as to tap into a growing market. To help that happen, researchers have developed innovative business and financing models to stimulate greener construction.

Apps have become the modus operandi for most people with a smartphone, and ENBUS plans to use this powerful platform to recruit energy-conscious homeowners for energy-saving remodelling decisions. Homeowners are the tip of the iceberg. Getting the project's concepts off the ground through a well-focused and targeted campaign will pave the way to similar technology for commercial buildings and new constructions. Decision support will soon be at the fingertips of construction managers on rooftops and building sites worldwide.
