The FP7 Project proposal BEEM-UP is in the negotiation phase

The project proposal BEEM-UP has been evaluated positively and invited for negotiation by the European Commission. The first negotiation meeting was held in Brussels on March 29th.

BEEM-UP aims to demonstrate the economic, social and technical feasibility of retrofitting initiatives for drastically reducing the energy consumption in existing buildings, and lay the ground for massive market uptake. BEEM-UP will be implemented in 3 sites (France, the Netherlands and Sweden) to incorporate innovative solutions to achieve a 75% reduction in space heat energy consumption, in addition to reducing the energy need for hot water and lighting, while ensuring a comfortable and healthy living environment.

BEEM-UP brings together a strong consortium of complementary background and expertise to demonstrate the technical, social and economic feasibility of drastically reducing the energy consumption in existing residential multi-family buildings, and replicate the developed concept in the European housing stock.
