Sunday, January 25, 2015
11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Overview
Buildings represent the largest slice of energy demand in EU and US and a consistent strategy for
energy saving I this sector, should take into account the savings potential in all the life phases of buildings, e. g.
design, construction, operation, maintenance, retrofitting, etc. Talking about operation, well designed,
commissioned and maintained buildings are essential for their cost-effective use. As buildings are becoming more
complex, including more systems and their respective controls, the objective of this seminar is to present an
updated vision of the best solutions and new ideas to improve energy efficiency considering the interaction with
occupants.
