EULEB – European High Quality Low Energy Buildings

This project is intended to supply information to architects and engineers throughout Europe to support the Energy Directive on Buildings through providing design and engineering details of high quality, low energy consumption public buildings throughout the EU. Buildings will be chosen from the participating countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain) as well as from other European countries in different climatic zones. In total this means 25 buildings. The criteria for choice of the buildings will be good design, low energy consumption, the availability of monitored energy consumption and the availability of financial data relating to energy saving features. The mode of presentation of the information will be through a web based CD which will be distributed as inserts in architectural and engineering magazines in the various countries. It will be navigable through either the individual project or through the particular technology. Detailed information on the building, the technologies, energy savings and cost/benefit analysis will be covered. Translation into English, French, German, Italian and Spanish will be done. In each country, seminars will be launched for wide dissemination of the results and information.
