14.10 KEYNOTE: UNDERSTANDING THE INDOOR ENVIRONMENT: PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST
- How to achieve a healthy indoor environment has been an issue among architects, engineers and scientists for centuries. The realization that the indoor environment is more than the sum of its parts, and that its assessment has to start from human beings rather than benchmarks, has only been gaining ground in recent years. The presentation will give a status and perspectives.

Dr. Ir Philomena Bluyssen, TNO Built Environment andGeosciences (Netherlands)
14.30 KEYNOTE: ENERGY IN BUILDINGS
- Buildings are responsible for over 40% of our energy consumption and C02 emissions. Reduced energy consumption and renewable energy sources are the keys to reducing CO2 emissions from buildings. The presentation will give a status and perspectives.
-
President, Christian Cardonnel, ENERPLAN Association for Solar Energy (France)
14.50 DESIGN PROCESS
- Some of the most important decisions on energy savings and indoorclimate are taken in the very early design stages. The presentation focuses on exploiting synergies in the process of design and new design strategies. Examples on state of the art will be given and it will discuss what we can do today and what is needed in the future to improve the design process.

Architect, Partner, David H Cook, Benisch Architecten (United Kingdom)
15.15 TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
- Energy and indoor climate performance in buildings can be improved today with smart utilization of existing technology and products. However, there is a need for a holistic focus on integrated product development of new techniques and solutions. The presentation will focus on potentials in integration of different competences / organizations for the products of the future.
