•  ICT will contribute to the energy efficiency of buildings mainly via design tools, automation & control systems and decision support for various stakeholders: –  Short term: ICT will be used to ensure

that existing and new buildings meet the current and emerging requirements for energy efficiency.

–  Medium term: ICT tools will enable life cycle optimised design and energy management during operation.

–  Long term: ICT will enable and support new business models and processes driven by energy efficiency. Buildings have evolved from energy consumers to “prosumers” (producer + consumer).

•  Short Term –  Assuring compliance to regulated minimum energy

performance levels in design and renovation stages. •  Medium Term

–  Decision support for life cycle cost/performance optimisation. Real time operation, control and user empowerment.

•  Long Term –  Holistic optimisation of built environments considering:

energy generation and usage of individual buildings, energy balancing between buildings within a district/neighbourhood and feeding excess energy into the grid. New business models driven by whole life time performance.

•  Life cycle approach: –  Integrated design teams, using interoperable model-based tools and

communication/ collaboration platforms optimise the whole life performance of buildings

•  Smart buildings: –  Most buildings will be "smart" & control themselves maintaining the

required & optimal performance and responding proactively to external conditions

•  Construction as a knowledge-based industry: –  Industrialised solutions are available for configuring flexible new buildings

as well as retrofitting existing buildings •  Business models:

–  New business models and regulations are driven by user perceived value. Financing models provide incentives to stakeholder towards whole life performance of buildings. ICT tools support performance measurement, validation and holistic decision making.
