1 POWER HOUSE Nearly Zero Energy Challenge Symposium 26 September 2012 Madrid, Spain Information Pack (09/08/2012 version)

2 Wednesday 26 September 2012 Symposium CECODHAS Housing Europe meets Solar Decathlon Europe: working towards a Fair Energy Transition Venue: Casa de Campo Time: From 09:00 to Interpretation in EN/FR/ES/DE provided The task of future proofing homes for European citizens is being taken in hand by CECODHAS Housing Europe members. Public, Cooperative and Social Housing providers are working to meeting the challenge of balancing social and ecological challenges. While the situation varies throughout the Union, in some cases the cost of constructing housing which meets ambitious energy performance requirements exceeds the cost price standard in the sector by 45%, 50% and even by 80%. Higher costs prices are a result of more complex building concepts and systems, use of alternative materials, procurement procedures. To meet these challenges, the sector must innovate - it must identify ways to save money during the construction or rebuilding process and to look for innovative approaches, concepts and building techniques which make the realisation of nearly- Zero Energy buildings both simpler and cheaper. These innovations which should integrate design, building processes, building systems and techniques as well as the legislative framework, the financing and governance must radically reduce energy consumption in exchange for a manageable additional investment. Naturally, these concepts must be applicable for new constructions as well as renovations and must keep end-users at their heart. For this reason CECODHAS Housing Europe has teamed up with the Solar Decathlon to tap into the inspiration and motivation of the world s best architectural schools in its quest to shape the innovative path of the sector. A team of jurors, expert practitioners from the housing organisations will evaluate 10 Solar Decathlon entries and select 3 teams to present their work during this event. 1
