School of the Future - Towards zero energy with high performance indoor environment
The aim of the 'School of the Future' community is to show and communicate shining examples of how to reach the future high performance building level for new and existing school buildings within the EU.
The aim of the 'School of the Future' community is to show and communicate shining examples of how to reach the future high performance building level for new and existing school buildings within the EU. The presented building concepts and experiences based on realised buildings shall result in far lower energy consumption than in regular schools with high indoor environment quality - thus leading the way towards zero energy. School buildings and their primary users pupils - the next generations - are in our focus. Both, the energy and indoor environment performance shall be greatly improved due to holistic concepts for the building envelope, the service systems, the integration of renewables and building management systems.
Nearly zero energy buildings are a main goal in various country roadmaps for 2020. The presented concepts will result in buildings with far lower energy consumption than in regular schools buildings with high indoor environment quality - thus leading the way towards zero energy. They can be considered as schools of the future. Results from national examples of (nearly) zero energy schools can be added by the community members.
