Abstract

The EU Concerto project Class1 commenced in 2007 and involves 5 countries: Denmark, Estonia, France, Italy and Romania. In Denmark 442 dwellings will be designed and constructed as low-energy housing units. The Concerto community also includes a kindergarten and an elderly center. The 4 other countries take part as associated municipalities - the direct target groups for the experiences learnt from Denmark. The Class 1 project uses the demonstration projects to boost the technological development of 6 different key components, covering 3 areas: Eco-buildings, Renewable Energy Supply and Intelligent Energy Management System. Furthermore, the benefits of ultra-low energy buildings integrated with renewable energy in the form of biomass-CHP and solar heating energy supply will be demonstrated reaching a further reduced CO2-emission level. The paper presents the status and results of the project after 20 months of operation.
