Project Goal and Objectives

Smart-ECO embraces the concept of Eco-buildings and recognizes the results produced by projects conducted under national and EU funding programmes such as FP6. Further, the project aims to bring together a unique network of stakeholders, researchers and developers, educators and trainers, and suppliers and users of innovative technologies for the built sector in order to create and apply a generic reference framework against which the new solutions can be evaluated. This reference frame adds new perspectives to the appreciation of innovative technologies and is complementary to already existing and already performed evaluations. These evaluations are not replaced, changed or overruled, but accompanied in a complimentary manner by providing additional perspectives.
To realise this goal the full spectrum of stakeholders in the building sector must play an essential role in the overall activities to be carried out. In order to do this, Smart-ECO will set up a wide-ranging Stakeholder Group at the start of the project so that the relevant stakeholder perspectives can be included in all stages of the project. In this way the results generated will have high probability of being acceptable to the building community. Many events and activities are planned for the Stakeholder Group and this work forms a complete work package (WP5).

To achieve the overall goal for Smart-ECO, three operational objectives are identified:

Objective 1 Vision and Requirements
Objective 2 Elements and their Impacts
Objective 3 Communicate Smart-ECO
