The BRITA in PuBs partners are pleased to announce that the first public results of the project will be publicly available soon. The reports, all of them due after the 18th project month, will be offered for download on the project website (www.brita-in-pubs.com). The documents are:
- Communication Guide
- Overview on international Financial Schemes
- Report on the Concept Development of the Demonstration Buildings
- Proceedings of the 1st Common Eco-buildings Symposium that will take place in Berlin, 22-23 November 2005
In accordance with the projects’ work programme, the BRITA in PuBs partners are pleased to announce that the first public results of the project, three reports from two different work packages will be publicly available soon. The reports, all of them due after the 18th project month, will be offered on the website (www.brita-in-pubs.com) for download after the approval of the European Commission. They are compiled in the following list:
- Communication Guide
- Overview on international Financial Schemes
- Report on the Concept Development of the Demonstration Buildings
Additionally the website will offer a pdf-version for download of the Proceedings of the 1st Common Eco-buildings Symposium that will take place in Berlin, 22-23 November 2005 (see more information at the BRITA in PuBs website).
The Communication Guide is based on the socio-economic analysis on barriers and needs during the planning phase of retrofit projects of public buildings. The BRITA in PuBs workpackage 1 has interviewed decision makers in all participating countries on the existing problems and needs and has quantified their answers by an electronic questionnaire on the website. This resulted in the guide for targeting the necessary information to the specific target groups for innovative retrofit measures. The guide will be used for the dissemination of the results of the BRITA in PuBs project, but will be also useful for innovative manufacturers of building products. The Communication guide will be translated to the language of each participating country.
In the same workpackage the partners identified the used financial schemes in the different countries. The report Overview on international Financial Schemes includes the summary of this work, gives insights to possible financial schemes with advantages and disadvantages and describes success stories from different demonstration and research partners within the project. Many of the schemes and incentives can be transferred to other countries.
The Report on the Concept Development of the BRITA in PuBs Demonstration Buildings contains a separate chapter on each participating building of the different countries. The chapters describe in a uniform structure the status of the buildings before the retrofit, the originally planned and sometimes a bit modified retrofit concept, the calculated energy savings and the expected investment costs up-to-date. After the realisation and the monitoring of the demonstration projects the group will extend this report with descriptions on the realisation phase and the validation analysis at the end of the project.
The 1st Common Eco-Buildings Symposium with presentations from the 4 different projects SARA, Eco-culture, Demohouse and BRITA in PuBs will take place in November 22-23 in Berlin. After the symposium, the proceedings will be published on the website as pdf-download. It will contain papers to all presentations.
The BRITA in PuBs website will announce, when the reports and proceedings are existent for download.

Latest news
| Goals reached in highly innovative low energy community centre in Borgen, Norway |
|
The renovation of Borgen Community Centre has been completed. The goal was to reduce energy consumption by 50% or better. The goal has been reached by a number if innovative low-energy building technologies covering additional insulation, a natural hybrid ventilation system with inlet towers and underground culverts and heat pump heating.

| Prefab slab buildings renovation Experience |
|
Cost-effective heating energy savings on prefabricated slab buildings is an issue of great importance due to the large number of this type of buildings that exist in Europe and now are in need for renovation. Considerable savings have been realised within the promoter program: "Energy Redevelopment EnSan" in which modernisation concepts using innovative materials and technologies have been developed and demonstrated.

| 2 Wind Turbines on BRITA in PuBs Demonstration Buildings |
|
2 wind turbines partly funded by BRITA in PuBs.project have been installed on the Innovation Centre building of Plymouth College of Further Education, situated in the South West of the UK. The wind turbines are mounted directly on the building. The projected output for both amounts to 33800 KWh/pa.

| New culture centre showing 50% energy savings inaugurated in Valby, Copenhagen |
|
On September 3, 2005 Provehallen was inaugurated – a new (completely renovated - retrofitted) sports- and culture centre in Valby, Copenhagen. The predicted heating and electricity consumption will be about half of what they would have been if the energy saving measures introduced by the BRITA-in-PuBs project had not been carried out. The energy saving was reached by a combination of innovative technologies.
