Multi-annual roadmap for the contractual PPP on Energy efficient Buildings under Horizon 2020

This multiannual roadmap sets our vision and outlines our routes towards a high-tech building industry, which turns energy efficiency into a sustainable business. This roadmap is the backbone of a long term Research and Innovation programme with shared priorities openly agreed amongst the vast community of stakeholders across enlarged Europe. In line with Horizon 2020, this PPP aims at developing breakthrough affordable solutions at building and district scale, connecting them at a larger scale to future smart cities and in a broader framework with all suitable instruments and initiatives along the innovation chain to create impact. This challenge based approach would ultimately benefit all EU citizens and users as well as local public authorities. In this Executive Summary the key objectives, the priorities and the mechanisms for effective monitoring of progress are provided, including the intended level of resources and industry commitment as well as the mechanisms for engagement of all stakeholders through an open, transparent and participatory governance model. This is fully in line with article 19 of the Horizon 2020 regulations.
