The implementation of the principles and methods towards a Sustainable Construction varies across different countries in Europe. In some countries, the sustainability of the construction sector has been effectively taken into consideration over the last years, while in other its implementation is at an initial stage. Many reasons may be pointed out for this situation. Different countries have different understa...


Education for sustainable construction

Bragança, L.; Koukkari, Heli; Veljkovic, Milan; Borg, Ruben Paul

The COST Action C25 "Sustainability of Constructions - Integrated Approach to Life-time Structural Engineering" is a network of scientists and researchers from 28 European countries and the EU Joint Research Centre in Ispra. It was established to promote science-based developments in sustainable construction in Europe through research on life-time structural engineering. The COST Action has been active since 2006.


Phase changing materials in building elements

Ermolli, Sergio Russo; Koukkari, Heli; Bragança, L.

New technologies in building construction and services are needed in order to reduce the big energy consumption in the building stock from which a major part goes for controlling of indoor climate. On the other hand, performance requirements are growing higher because of both more severe regulations and higher comfort requirements by the users – the wide use of air conditioning systems, also in houses, is just ...


Towards energy-efficient buildings in Europe

Koukkari, Heli; Bragança, L.

The New Energy Policy was adopted by the European Council in spring 2007 (EC2008). Later in December, 2008 the European Parliament adopted a number of measures designed to: establish a new energy policy, combat climate change, and boost the EU’s energy security and competitiveness. This integrated climate change and energy policy (EU 2002) aims to ensure that Europe has a sustainable future based on a low-carbo...

Bragança, L.; Koukkari, Heli; Blok, Rijk; Gervásio, H.; Veljkovic, Milan; Plewako, Zbigniew; Landolfo, Raffaele; Ungureanu, Viorel

The main objective of the COST Action C25 ‘Sustainability of Constructions: Integrated Approach lo Life-time Structural Engineering” is to promote science-based developments in sustainable construction in Europe through the collection and collaborative analysis of scientific results concerning life-time structural engineering and especially integration of environmental assessment methods and tolls of structural...


Sustainable construction pro an optimistic world scenario

Koukkari, Heli; Bragança, L.

Building and civil engineering has greatly contributed to shaping and structuring the world as we know it nowadays. It has paved ways to industries and contributed to function of societies. Before born of engineering as a vocation or discipline, the practical workmanship had produced prominent buildings and artifacts throughout centuries. The built environment has evolved to frame nearly all human activities. P...


Integration : the key and the way towards life-time engineering

Koukkari, Heli; Bragança, L.

The real estate and construction sector is in change that is mainly driven by increasing requirements concerning the performance of constructions during their whole life-time: the overall performance of buildings and constructions need to be managed from cradle to grave, and with a great emphasis on customer and user needs. The true success of the change in relation to demands depends largely upon management of...


Survey on educational material on sustainable constructions

Koukkari, Heli; Veljkovic, Milan; Bragança, L.

Higher education of professionals in the construction and real estate sector is in the process of “Greening curricula”. Pressures to educate environmentally literate workforce are increasing. Leading construction companies worldwide are becoming involved in green construction. “Green building, green project, green property, green procurement as well as green living and green citizenship” are concepts that are u...


Sustainability assessment and rating of Portuguese buildings

Mateus, Ricardo; Bragança, L.; Koukkari, Heli

Building sustainability assessment involves various relations between built, natural and social systems. Therefore it comprises hundreds of parameters, most of them interrelated and partly contradictory. To cope with this complexity and to support the sustainable building design, a systematic, holistic and practical approach is proposed in this paper. The main goal of this paper is to present a methodology for ...
