Info

R&D The European Union supports R&D through Framework Programme 7. This includes funding for energy efficient buildings. Currently, much of the focus is on public-private partnerships for energy-efficient buildings and the demonstration of zero carbon building renovations for cities and regions. The European Commission and many Member States also participate in technology programmes of the International Energy Agency, based in Paris. Participation is through the use of Implementing Agreements of the IEA that allow participating countries to share research efforts. For buildings there are separate implementing agreements on buildings and community systems, district heating and cooling, energy storage, heat pumping technologies and efficient electrical end-use equipment. The IEA recently published a report outlining the effectiveness of their implementing agreements and the strategies for the future. 40 EU countries are very active. For example, for the agreement on buildings and community systems, 15 Member States participate as well as Norway and Switzerland. Many of these implementing agreements have been operating since the 1980s. 40 IEA, Energy Technology Initiatives, Implementation Through Multi-lateral Co-operation, IEA/OECD, 2010.
