1 A Greener Built Environment Research challenges for innovation towards a sustainable built environment

2 Ger Maas ENCORD President Director of Strategy, Royal BAM Group Professor Eindhoven University of Technology Construction Engineering and Management

3 Overview RainerSturm PIXELIO I. The Big Picture II. Putting it to work: State of the Art Innovation [ ] III. What we need

4 The Big Picture Ernst Ulrich von Weiszsäcker Source: The McKinsey Quarterly 2007, A cost curve for greenhouse gas reduction

5 Reduction of consumption New energies New systems Waste Wind Nuclear Fuel efficiency in vehicles Water heating Air conditioning Lighting systems Building insulation

6 ECTP Survey

7 ECTP Survey

8 ECTP Survey - Topics Top Topics of ECTP Survey - Energy Efficient Buildings - Efficient and Environmentally Friendly Materials - Impact of Infrastructure on the Environment - Knowledge-based construction processes - New ICT systems, tools and processes - Friendly and safe construction processes - Protecting Land and Water

9 Reduction of consumption New energies New systems Waste Wind Nuclear Fuel efficiency in vehicles Water heating Air conditioning Lighting systems Building insulation

10 Putting it to work Innovation Examples of Innovation

11 Putting it to work Innovation Solar Sunstyle photovoltaic roofing system ULTIMATE high performance fire-resistant glasswool

12 Putting it to work Innovation Offshore Wind Construction Energy Efficient Building Geothermal Powerplant

13 Putting it to work Innovation : Making urban areas liveable Energy Segment Tunnel Lining harvesting geothermal energy along TBM built tunnels

14 Putting it to work Innovation Thermally Active Building Systems (TABS) 75 % energy savings free ground-coupled cooling

15 II. Putting it to work Innovation Lux Cool element suspended ceiling element which integrates the entire building technology

16 Putting it to work Innovation New lightbulbs light bulb that saves enough power to annually light 17.4 million American households and cut carbon emissions by 5.6 million metric tons

17 Putting it to work Innovation Sustainable Refurbishment of Buildings System to improve energy efficiency in existing buildings, by developing new methods, elements, materials and smart domotic systems

18 Putting it to work Innovation Autarc An Autarkic, sustainable, floating expo- and office pavilion that is based on energy efficiency and sustainability

19 Putting it to work Innovation Zero energy district Amsterdam Energy neutral area development of houses as well as offices, shops and schools Smart grid for exchange of energy and heat

20 Putting it to work Innovation CNGNet Developing, building and operating a network of CNG filling stations in the Netherlands Ballast Nedam CNGNet

22 What is ENCORD ENCORD's Main Objective Europe's forum for industry-led Research, Development and Innovation

23 Reduction of consumption New energies New systems Waste Wind Nuclear Fuel efficiency in vehicles Water heating Air conditioning Lighting systems Building insulation

24 Other drivers There is more that drives us aging society ICT Infrastructure and green society mobility [ ]

25 Uniting views Underground Construction Cities and Buildings Quality of Life Materials Networks Cultural Heritage Processes & ICT Energy Efficiency Aging Society ICT Green Mobility Infrastructure for Society [ ]

28 Aging Society Challenges healthcare governance aging workforce

29 Demographic development EU27

30 Impact of Aging Society All functions in society are fulfilled by increasingly older persons (2 months/year in EU27) The workforce is shrinking (1 million/year in EU27)

31 Aging Society There is more that drives us aging society ICT Infrastructure and green society mobility [ ]
