WORKSHOPS

  • Setting up a website is not enough. We had key players sit face to face in a room and discuss about needs, research activities and system integration. Since discussions are needed to achieve consensus and define future collaborations, we organized five workshops: Helsinki, Nice, London, Genova and Brussels, with more than 120 top participants.
     
  • The workshops’ key objective was for the invited experts to develop the vision for future application scenarios of new ICTs for energy efficient buildings. The participants were asked to present their ideas and then invited to further analyse their own first scenario concepts during different steps of iteration. The iteration continued by email communication after the workshop.
     
  • The Application Scenario workshops were organised in different countries and they had the same structure designed to enable consolidation of results from different workshops with different participants.
    • VTT - Helsinki, 4 May 2011
    • CSTB - Sophia Antipolis, 24 May 2011
    • Arup - London, 25 May 2011
  • The key elements identified for each scenario are (ICTs): Impact, Challenge, Technology and Stakeholders.
     
  • Then, two other workshops have been organized:
