Focus

• Smart use of energy

The UCEEB's research mission is in keeping with the European Commision's Horizon 2020 programme, whose three main subjects include energy efficient buildings. 40% of all secondary energy in Europe is consumed in buildings and their energy efficiency is a key factor in reducing our environmental impact.

• Respect the environment

The UCEEB's goal is to design energy efficient buildings, which would be, in simple terms, green, smart and reasonably-priced. 'That is why we focus on renewable energy sources, smart networks, smart materials and intelligent buildings.

• Focus on the people

It is estimated that most people spend up to 90% of their lives inside buildings. Our health is therefore significantly influenced by the quality of the interior climate. Our aim is to change an artificial environment into a human-friendly one. A house should not only be a well-insulated envelope with perfect energy flows, but also a place where its users feel good.
