BaaS Project was presented in the International Symposium SEBUA 2012

BaaS project was presented as in the EC project Section in The International Symposium on Sustainable Energy in Buildings and Urban Areas, SEBUA-12, taking place in Kusadasi, Turkey - during 14 - 20 October, 2012.

Nowadays, it is acknowledged the great importance of energy consumption in buildings, which is estimated at about 40% of energy consumed at the national levels. The European Commission published three directives that impose actions for energy efficiency and clean energy in buildings and urban areas (EPBD 2010/31/EC, REN 2009/28/EC, and ESD 32/2006/EC), while worldwide green energy policies are adopted to protect the environment and ensure a sustainable energy approach for our entire planet.

Scientific communities from all over the world are working on new sustainable energy solutions (technologies, new design principles and tools, BEMS’s, smart grids, smart consumers etc.). The symposium aims to provide an international forum for the presentation, exchange of ideas and creation of knowledge in recent advances on various aspects of theories, analysis, and applications of sustainable energy principles with regard to efficiency, availability and environment protection when envisioned for the buildings and urban areas of our near future.
