LVIS-2000 and ETRR Future building services and energy-efficient buildings and building components. Evaluation of the research programmes 1988-1990

摘要

In October 1991 an international expert group, appointed by the Energy Department of Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) evaluated the LVIS-2000 and ETRR research programmes and their sub-projects. The evaluation was based on two interim reports and selected papers in English sent to the committee members and finally the presentations made to the committee during the visit in 1st to 4th October. Different aspects of the programmes and their sub-programmes have been evaluated: the goals and objectives, resources, expediency of results, scientific standard and dissemination of results. An important factor was also the participation in IEA and other international research activities. The committee considered the research programmes and their realization meet in general a high international standard. The quality and quantity of research reports are in good agreement with the spended resources and the expediency of results is also good for the new energy saving solutions in the building practice. Concerning the dissemination of results, in addition to the scientific papers a lot of work has been done to inform building industry and general public about the programmes and specific projects. The participation of several sub-profects to the respentive IEA research programmes was considered very valuable. Also the publishing and international dissemination of the research reports and papers in English is of high importance and should be even more effective. The main general recommendation for the future is to merge the two main research areas into one research programme dealing with the building and its systems as a unity.
