REEB

Welcome to REEB project, a project involved in ICT supporting energy efficiency strategies in the Building sector.

REEB focus in the improvement of energy-efficiency through innovative ICT, leading to the so-called "smart buildings" of tomorrow as a key challenge in our future world. REEB will also identify and structure the future R&D targets in terms of all ICT methods, models, applications and systems to support future energy efficiency in the Built environment.

The REEB project will bring experts from the Construction, ICT and energy knowledge domains together to elaborate a common view of the current challenges, state-of-the-art, vision of a future state, and roadmap of future RTD (Research & Technological Development) in ICT support to Energy-efficient Construction.

It is expected that REEB will be a key contributor to the EU world-leadership in ICT enabled energy efficiency through intelligent solutions. In addition, it will support the achievement of Europe's objective to save 20% of energy consumption by 2020 By widening take up of ICT based energy systems and services for the future energy neutral and energy positive buildings.

The REEB project intent to promote and stimulate the innovative use of ICT through the establishment of multidisciplinary and complementary communities to improve the Energy management in the Built environment.

The general Objectives are:

A Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), detail Implementation Activity Plan for R&D and innovation in ICT supporting energy-efficient smart facilities with focus on ICT supporting roadmaps for energy efficiency measures/ policies and strategies for improving energy-efficieny both in new and renovated buildings.

A comprehensive coordination of information exchange and dissemination between energy related ICT projects; organizing events and communication channels for promoting and stimulating the innovative use of ICT in the Sustainability area to reach the widest audience and bring together all stakeholders from the enlarged EU.

The REEB consortium partners are drawn from countries that are at the heart of the European dynamics and research, at the crossing of building and construction sector, ICT and energy efficiency: France, Finland, Spain, Ireland, the UK, and Germany. The selected partners within these countries have demonstrated outstanding research capabilities within their field, being leading actors in ICT in construction and EE in Europe.
