Leave us a short comment or information.- Development of a methodology compatible with EPBD and its national adaptations.
- OPEN HOUSE can contribute to a future European Sustainable Building Directive
- Involvement of public participation by means of a transparent and open approach that will permit to stakeholders and public in general the access to an open source of information materialised in an open and accessible platform.
- Regularly public consultations through the OPEN HOUSE Platform.
- Training activities for stakeholders, assuring in that way methodology’s proper implementation and its continuity.
- To be designed and developed by a transparent and consensus process. Therefore, it is automatically suitable for all European countries.
- To be a non proprietary method, thus fostering the exploitation.
- To be a comprehensive and user-friendly methodology, support by an interactive web tool (OPEN HOUSE Platform) that will facilitate the communication and interaction between the building stakeholders.
- To be based on international/European standards.
- To be based on objective, scientifically rigorous and stringent performance criteria.
- To address the unresolved issues concerning building sustainability (E.g. performance requirements such as accessibility, weighting, variables such a building type, target user and climate).
- To develop new indicators, especially those related with economic and social factors, like for example safety and security, spaces for privacy or conviviality (e.g. co-housing, cafeteria in a office building), externalities (e.g. use of local services or products, unemployment rate of the area), European concept of cost and value (the cost for improving the labeling classification of the building, value of the labeled building after a time period, value for policy makers and end users), radioactive wastes, etc.
This project receives funding from the European Community’s Seventh Framework Programme under Grant Agreement No. 244130 (OPEN HOUSE).
