CoolRoofs (completed)
Promotion of COOL ROOFS in the EU
Promotion of COOL ROOFS in the EU
The aim of the project is to create and implement an Action Plan for the Cool Roofs in EU.
The specific objectives are:
- to support policy development by transferring experience and improving understanding of the actual and potential contributions by cool roofs to heating and cooling consumption in the EU;
- to remove market barriers and simplify the procedures for cool roofs integration in construction and building's stock;
- to change the behaviour of decision-makers and stakeholders so to improve acceptability of the cool roofs;
- to disseminate and promote the development of innovative legislation, codes, permits and standards, including application procedures, construction and planning permits concerning cool roofs.
The work will be developed along four axes: technical, market, policy and end-users.
The
Action Plan will be steered by the development of the EU Cool Roofs
Council (EU-CRC for short) that will bring together under the same umbrella all related
stakeholders.
Specific information about and from this Cool Roofs Council will be offered on the EU-CRC web site at www.coolroofs-eu-crc.eu.
