Abstract
The Institute of Radio and Information Systems (IRIS) – Association based in Vienna, Austria, whose staff has extensive experience in scientific work and organizing international conferences in various countries, publishes its own scientific journals and has a book publishing house. We plan to build our actions within the Smart Finance for Smart Buildings (SFSB) initiative and the methodology used in SEI Forums to bring together a wide range of participants, developing it in direction: most of the energy consumed by buildings is spent on space heating including air required for ventilation. Advocacy and development of programs for financing the expansion of the use of air heat pumps with energy recovery of heated (in summer cooled) ventilated air will reduce energy costs for heating by almost 4 times with a quick payback period. In 5 years after project are provided: primary energy savings triggered by the project; investments in sustainable energy triggered by the project; reduction of the greenhouse gases emissions. To create national roundtables on energy efficiency investments as multilateral discussion forums bringing together government, local and regional authorities, financial sector, ESCOs, homeowners, industry, construction sector and SME sector, we propose to engage professionals from our conference partners: Technische Universitaet Wien; IEEE Technology Center GmbH (Wien); Politische Akademie der ÖVP (Wien); Aspern Smart City Research GMBH & CO KG. Our proposals relate mainly to Austria however, they include a share of events in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia which we can successfully organize with help of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society Central Europe Chapter from our partner IEEE Austria Section as well as exchange with roundtables throughout Europe which will be coordinated by Commission services. The proposed project consist of blocks: Information-statistical, Training, Expert, and Legislative initiatives.
