Position of construction

Construction must service society!


Statement of the European Commission

Three priorities should be the heart of Europe 2020:

– Smart growth – developing an economy based on knowledge and innovation.

– Sustainable growth – promoting a more resource efficient, greener and more competitive economy.

– Inclusive growth – fostering a high‐employment economy delivering economic, social and territorial cohesion.


Three priorities for sustainable growth and jobs:

• Growth based on knowledge and innovation– Innovation– Education– Digital society

• An inclusive high‐employment society– Employment– Skills– Fighting poverty

• Green growth: a competitive and sustainable economy– Combating climate change– Clean and efficient energy– Competitiveness

Energy Efficient Buildings


• A major world‐wide challenge• Buildings = major potential for energy/carbon savings

• today more than 40 % of energy consumption• and around 30 % of GHG emissions

• Road Map• Retrofit the existing building stock• Develop future positive energy buildings/districts• Integrate new technologies (including RE technologies)

• Innovation by research• Recovery Plan EeB PPP call 2010 : strong involvement of industry and

SMEs (24%) from the whole value chain (ECTP/E2BA : >230 Members)• Construction sector ready to collaborate towards an “ideal house” for

PPPs in FP8

Future Infrastructure Networks in Europe


• Challenges– Existing infrastructures are getting old/obsolete

• Roads (see winter 2010)• Water supply systems (leakage, water quality)…

– Mobility of people, goods distribution, flows (water, electricity, gas)– To keep cost of infrastructures socially acceptable– To adapt infrastructures to new requirements : sustainability, availability and

cost of energy, ageing society, climate change

• Priorities and research needs– Infrastructures for a sustainable urban mobility– Infrastructures for a sustainable competitive economy– Greening infrastructure networks– Towards smart and resilient infrastructures – Infrastructures of an inclusive society

Health and Ageing Society• Challenges

– Ageing• By 2025: more than 20% of European citizens will be over 65 years

old• Shortfall of places in specialized homes could exceed 150 000 just in

France• Workforce diminishes• New needs for services

– Health• Indoor air quality• Healthy built environment• Impact of built environments

on human performance and well‐being

• Road Map for Care and Services• Awareness from 1980‐2005• Strategic Research Agenda 2010‐2011

Impact of Aging Society

All functions in society are fulfilled by increasingly older persons (2 months/year in EU27)

The workforce is shrinking (1 million/year in EU27)
