Project CEC 5 NEWSLETTER No Kick off 1

Project CEC 5: NEWSLETTER No. Kick off 1 The goal of the CEC 5 project – ‘Demonstration of energy efficiency and utilisation of renewable energy sources through public buildings’ is the promotion of energy efficiency and renewable energy sources use through their application in public buildings. CEC 5 targets to create a common pool of knowledge on RES and EE building solutions for the entire CENTRAL EUROPE Programme area. Near-zero constructions are still not popularised and there are still many apprehensions regarding the topic of energy efficiency. To this purpose, professionals will be trained in the relevant fields. The solutions will be applied in the state-of-the-art energyefficient buildings that will be developed in the project so that the applicability of RES and EE can be visibly proven. On 26 -27 January 2012 the CEC 5 project got it activities officially started during the kick-off meeting in Ludvigsburg, Germany.
