1. Adoption of Building Services

• Energy-efficient Electrical
Lighting (LED) for Buildings
• Heat Pump & Reversible
Air-Conditioning
• Commissioning of HVAC for
Energy Savings
• Energy Analysis of Micro-
generation of Systems



2. Integrated Building Systems

Prefabricated energy retrofit
systems for Residential buildings
Environmentally responsive
elements for buildings
Energy retrofit toolkit for
government buildings
Building Energy Retrofit:
reliability vs. real Cost



Prefabricated Systems for Low-Energy Renovation of
Residential Buildings

• Prefabricated Low-rise
Residential Systems
• Demonstration projects
• 30-50 kWh/(m2·year) for
heat, cooling & H- water


3. Building Retrofit for Energy and GHG:
Benchmarking and measurements

• Methodologies and Benchmarking

• Full-scale dynamic measurements of building energy
performance

• Total (Occupied) building energy consumption

• C02 Emissions from buildings

• Energy and GHG Optimized Building Renovation



4. Integrated Community Systems

Low-exergy Systems for High
Perfor. Building/communities

Guidelines and case studies for
Energy-efficient communities


ECBCS Annex 5 : AIVC
(Air Infiltration and Ventilation Centre)

• THE IEA information centre on energy
efficient ventilation
• Created in 1979
• 2012: 15 member countries

Communication on ECBCS
in Belgian context
• Since many years
– IEA technical days with project partners
– ECBCS and SHC together
• Under development
– Improved distribution of info to potentially
interested Belgian experts and users
• At present 300 addresses, to be improved
• About new initiatives, outcomes, …



Towards improved dissemination
of the BRIAs?
• Why?
– Not evident to have easy access to this
information
• How?
– Pragmatic collaboration with BUILD UP portal?
• Information on BUILD UP


BUILD UP Partners

“Community”

“Embedded pages”

Conclusions
• Belgium is actively involved in ECBCS
• It is the intention to strengthen dissemination
& involvement of Belgian building community
• We are studying the feasibility of a BRIA’s
related website (at Belgian level or in
international context) in collaboration with
BUILD UP
