We hope this Review will be interesting and informative and that the holistic approach taken by the EC and industry towards achieving an energy efficient building sector will inspire readers. They should also maximise impact for the users and society as a whole. In line with Horizon 2020, the EeB PPP aims to develop ground-breaking, affordable solutions at building and district scale, connecting to future smart cities and major European initiatives. The E2BA strives to realise the vision of creating a high-tech building industry that turns energy efficiency into a sustainable business. This edition includes 34 new projects responding to the 2013 FP7 call, which are presented in this edition after the projects responding to the FP7 calls. The projects demonstrate scientific and technological excellence across all levels from early stage conception through to demonstration of the potential for commercialisation. The research projects respond to EU priorities for new technologies, tools and systems, materials, information and communication technologies and retrofitting and renovation methodologies in order to achieve energy-efficient buildings. It illustrates the diverse research approaches and the importance of developing all aspects of the building sector as we strive towards our 2020 goals for energy and carbon emissions. This edition of the EeB PPP Project Review aims to highlight the current and potential impact of the projects that are currently running. During Horizon 2020, a contractual PPP has been agreed between the E2BA and the European Commission to continue investing in research and innovation. The EeB PPP was set up under FP7 and recognises the importance of research in Europe to achieve Europe s targets of job creation and competitiveness, and to maintain leadership in the global knowledge economy. This initiative aims to promote research on new methods and technologies to reduce the energy footprint and CO 2 emissions related to new and retrofitted buildings across Europe.

This publication presents the progress of 110 funded projects* within the EeB PPP under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) for 2010, 2011, 2012 and The Energy-efficient Buildings (EeB) Public Private Partnership (PPP) is a joint initiative of the European Commission (EC) and the Energy Efficient Buildings Association (E2BA) which span out of the European Construction Technology Platform (ECTP).
