Construction
Construction in Europe - Key Figures
(source : FIEC www.fiec.org annual report 2007)
Estimated construction investment (EU 27 - 2006) : 1196 billion €
10,4 % of EU GDP
50,5 % of Gross fixed Capital Formation
2,7 million enterprises, of which 95% are SMEs with fewer than 20 and
93% with fewer than 10 operatives
15,2 million operatives
7,2 % of Europe`s total employment
30,4 % of industrial employment
26 million workers in the EU depend, directly or indirectly, on the construction
sector
Biggest industrial employer in Europe
Construction provides and maintains the built facilities and infrastructures
required for European Economies to function effectively, including buildings
and facilities for the delivery of public services. In doing so it accounts for
up to 10% of the EU GDP. The sector therefore has a profound influence
on European Competitiveness if its processes are efficient and reliable
overall economic competitiveness will increase.
ERA CONSTRUCTION
The ERA has become a key component of the Lisbon
Strategy for transforming Europe into the world’s most
competitive and sustainable knowledge-based economy
Since 2004, the ECTP has been contributed
successful by :
Joining forces to establish the European Research Area
(ERA) and to step up the co-ordination of research activities
carried out at National and European level.
Enhancing co-ordination of national and European
research
programmes
and
policies,
overcoming
fragmentation, and creating an “internal market” for research
it constitutes one of the central axes of the ERA concept.

Enhancing co-ordination of national research programmes &
policies, overcoming fragmentation and creating an “internal
market” for research constitute central axes of the ERA
concept.
NATIONAL INITIATIVES
Examples :

Poles de competitivites, clusters…

National R&D programmes : “Digital
construction, sustainable construction, avanti,
sara, cube, compass, buildings of tomorrow,
buildings and housing….” Representing >~60
Mio€”

R&D programmes of research institutes (ENBRI,
FEHRL, ELGIP…)
AN IMPORTANT ADD-ON TO EU ERA INITIATIVES

Energy Efficient Building Joint Technology Initiative
E2B JTI STRATEGY
E2B JTI MOVING FORWARD: A STRATEGY TO FOSTER THE
ENERGY EFFICIENT EUROPEAN BUILDING SPACE
Target:
• Create the winner “Energy Efficiency” European Business Consortium able to win
over non European competitors.
• Materialize the Energy European Strategy through a profitable wide spread “Energy
Efficiency” European Market.
• Empower the European economy
saving energy consumption.
• Improve the Quality of Life within the
European Space.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN BUILDINGS
C.I.P.
The 2008 call for proposals is your chance to apply for IEE (Intelligent Energy Europe)
funding. Some 45 Mio€ will be made available, supporting up to 75% of eligible project costs.
Capacity building; building and spreading of know-how, skills and methods;
exchanges of experience; development of market and intelligence; policy input;
awareness raising and information provision; and education and training.

POLICY INSTRUMENTS
LEGISLATION
Performance based buildings,
EBPD…
PUBLIC PROCUREMENT
LCC and LCA approaches
STANDARDISATION,
LABBELING, CERTIFICATION
EU standards taking into
account Sustainability
Accelerate the developments of new large scale markets with
great international potential. Better anticipate necessary legal
and regulatory changes and use existing policy mechanisms in a
more targeted and consistent manner. Design and implement
such a concerted action in a small set of “pilot” markets
SOME FUTURE STEPS
Continuing to Implement ERA in FP7 , in NMP, other
Themes and in other programmes, consolidate the PPP
in JTI/E2B in 2008, ERANET+
Better understanding expectations of Member States ,
Society, Industry & Clients & Users
Contribute to the overall EU Policies (Climate Change,
Green Procurement, ...)
Helping to shape Work Programme revisions and
increasing synergies with ECTP & ETPs SRA
Identify the potential need/possibilities for increased
cooperation (Including International)
Learn about expectations/plans for future activities, in
particular after the end of current projects
