SARA's vital characteristics |
SARA aims to construct sustainable, cost
effective, high energy performance, public-access eco-buildings that are immediately replicable
at large scale in many locations. The eco-buildings will be equipped with advanced sustainable
energy technologies integrated by an innovative architectural approach and combined monitoring
and building management systems, BMS.
SARA involves the demonstration of 7 highly sustainable and replicable Public-access buildings
in 6 EC Member States (Austria, France, Italy, Slovenia, Spain and the UK) and 1 New Independent
State (Uzbekistan). An important German research centre is also involved. In total there are 15
participants in the project.
The key aspects of the project are public-access, innovative yet cost effective and replicable results, consideration of end users and an interdisciplinary team working on various RTD activities. These aspects, applied across various climatic regions will produce large scale social, urban and environmental benefits. The project will therefore contribute to future development of European energy policy and legislation that will accelerate market penetration of innovative sustainable technologies.
