Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no single formal definition of what social housing is within Europe and this holds also true for the regions involved in the ROSH project. For the purpose of the project \u201csocial housing\u201d was defined as multi-family houses or apartment buildings for low-income households. Millions and millions of these types of buildings in Europe have been built in the sixties. Buildings which come into focus more often regarding economical and social problems, less than for reasons touching energy or sustainability. But to meet the demands of today and tomorrow these neglected building resorts have to address the application of energy efficiency and sustainability. The building sector in the EU accounts for 40% of the final energy consumption. An estimate of one fifths of this energy could be saved profitably. In the next 15 years more than one million new buildings are going to be erected in the EU, approximately 1 to 2% of the building stock undergo retrofitting every year. One thing is very clear: the energy efficiency of buildings can be improved considerably \u2013 either in retrofitting or in new buildings. Against the background of sustainable, indigenous and secure energy for Europe the saving of energy in the building sector is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
