Efficiency House Plus School Building
The Louise Otto-Peters school in Hockenheim, Germany, was the first educational institution to be granted support under the “Efficiency House Plus – Educational Buildings” funding programme. The new build combines three different school types under one roof (a pre-vocational training programme, a vocational upper secondary school and a geriatric nurse / educator training programme) which are attended by up to 280 students in total. The school building is conformant with the Efficiency House Plus standard.

Hybrid Energy Systems for Integrated Smart Buildings and Cities
A two-day symposium on "Hybrid Energy Systems for Integrated Smart Buildings and Cities" will be co-hosted in Brest by CESI (LINEACT), UBO (IRDL), and ISEN (L@bISEN). The symposium’s objective is to facilitate a high-quality scientific discussion between academia and industry and to create awareness among the students on the importance of sustainable building development. The symposium will cover topics on sustainable buildings, smart grids, and smart cities. These are some of the most important and challenging areas for developing a sustainable environment since buildings are responsible for a high share of global primary energy consumption and CO2 emission.

Passive House: Two Family House in Ahegg (Bayern)
This two family house is a new building and it is a certified passive house in ecological timber construction. The house indeed has been built with regional wood and consistent use of natural building materials. Thanks to energy efficiency measures and renewable energy, the building has very low energy requirements.

Technical guidance for thermal bypass risks
This guide contains peer-reviewed papers to make the proper reference which represents the base for the practical implications for policymakers, certifiers, designers and constructors. The guide discusses the importance of the reliability of performance gaps from the design phase to the final building.

Passive House detached single family house in Bucharest
This single-family house is located in Bucharest and is Passive House certified. Indeed, the building has minimal environmental impact due to its extremely low energy requirements. This need is generated by the production of renewable energy: 19 photovoltaic panels are located on the 2 terraces of the building.
