INNOBUILD

The INNOBUILD project includes an architectural ideas competition for retrofitting apartment buildings to improve energy efficiency, related specifically to central and eastern Europe; and a range of new design and construction aids, each targeted at a specific sector (i.e. architects, engineers, builders, planners) and consisting of drawing board aids, design and construction guidelines and appropriate regional data. The project will prepare and disseminate teachers' Resource Packs in support of energy conservation topics at undergraduate level and aimed at building engineers as well as architects, designed to be of support in the various European curricula and prepare a poster exhibition entitled Energy-Conscious Architecture, which will illustrate energy issues and design solutions contained in a representative range of recent European buildings of high architectural quality. A further smaller contract was won by ERG with a Bulgarian collaborator recently to extend the scope of the existing INNOBUILD project to include parallel activities in Bulgaria and some other Eastern European States.
