COMPARAISON INTERNATIONALE BATIMENT ET ENERGIE

publiée par PREBAT, ADEME, CSTB, PUCA - Rapport final, décembre 2007

Passivhaus en Allemagne, Minergie en Suisse, Zero energy homes aux Etats-Unis, initiatives au Danemark, en Espagne, au Japon, en Finlande, Autriche, aux Pays-Bas et en France… Pendant 24 mois, 55 ingénieurs, économistes et sociologues de 12 pays différents ont étudié des programmes de bâtiment basse consommation, voire « passif » ou « positif ». Le rapport final, « Comparaison internationale bâtiment et énergie », initié par le Programme de recherche et d’expérimentation sur l’énergie dans le bâtiment (Prebat), financé par l’Agence de l’environnement et de la maîtrise de l’énergie (Ademe) et le Plan urbanisme construction architecture (Puca), est disponible depuis la semaine dernière. Le but de l’étude est d’appliquer ces résultats à la France, afin d’atteindre les objectifs du Grenelle de l’environnement (1) soit une consommation, pour le neuf, de 50 kilowattheures par an et par mètre carré d’ici 2012.

Display : a successful past and a promising future

Five ’display’ful years - A Campaign Review is now available online here. This report will be interesting for new and old Display users - providing an overview of the history of the Campaign and the current services that are on offer.

More good news : negotiations are currently underway with the Executive Agency for Competitiveness and Innovation (EACI) for important cofinancing to ensure that the communication experiences gained by Display cities are widely shared. This will allow us to provide all participants, whether from the public or the commercial sector, with even better support for their local communication activities.

Display® Shining example Cassop Primary School on ‘YouTube’!

Cassop primary school, in county Durham, is producing its own clean green power thanks to:
- a 50 kWh generator wind turbine
- waste wood that otherwise would have gone to landfill
- a solar panel array on the roof

In general, Cassop School is a net exporter of electricity to the National grid.

Pupils get a chance to have hands on experience with technologies that are used to generate power. Some pedagogical tools have been designed to teach the pupils from Cassop Primary School and from other schools how energy can be generated from renewable energy sources.

Click on the link below for more information about this school on their ‘YouTube’ video.
