The overall objective of OPEN HOUSE is to develop and to implement a common European transparent building assessment methodology, complementing the existing ones, for planning and constructing sustainable buildings by means of an open approach and technical platform. In order to achieve the OPEN HOUSE objectives, a multidisciplinary strong and well balanced consortium able of mobilising any kind of stakeholders from the entire supply and value chain, has been created. It will provide complementary scientific and technical knowledge for performing the research tasks, and skills for the dissemination and exploitation of the results. It is composed by 20 organisations covering 11 countries. It has been configured with a well-balanced contribution of large companies with strong research capabilities, high-tech SMEs, research organisations, end users and policy makers.
The project is carried out at the Divison of Building Technology and within Areas of Advance Built Environment.
This project is related to the project "Mastertool Building Certification Systems".
