Energy in the Built Environment PlatformFifty percent less energy in 2030
In twenty years the use of energy in buildings in The Netherlands will be reduced by fifty percent, compared with 1990. By 2030, homes as well as office buildings, old as well as new buildings, will, on average, use half as much fossil fuel. The Platform EnergieTransition Gebouwde Omgeving (PeGO, Platform Energy Transition Built Environment) is committed to this goal.
Platform
In the platform, appointed on 30 May 2006, market parties from the building industry, knowledge institutes and consultants, and users of buildings, are, together with the government, working towards reducing the use of energy. Their common goal: a sustainable energy economy in the built environment. The built environment is one of the seven themes of the energy transition.
Approach
In the platform, three work groups are working together: the Innovation group aims at a self-learning and innovating chain of knowledge institutes and executive parties who keep each other at the cutting edge of developments. The Existing Buildings group strives to bring half a million existing houses up to energy label B standard in the coming years. The task of the third work group, the Regulations group, is to deal with any friction and communication problems arising in the Existing Buildings and Innovation groups.
