  CONCERTO  initiative
(2nd Call , June 2003)
Large scale integration with demand side
management

• Renewable energy sources
• Eco-buildings
• Polygeneration

13
  CONCERTO  initiative

• Aim
• To substantially improve the the performance of
  energy systems
• for new or existing communities and improve the
  sustainability
• Requirements
• Highly efficient energy saving measures
• Significant increase of the percentage of RES
  Supply
• Integrate the self supply of RES and
  polygeneration into buildings
