The set of "Building 2000" brochures illustrates how architects and
other building designers can successfully apply passive solar
principles to produce energy-effient buildings. "Building 2000" is
a pilot project of the European Commission's R&D programme
"Solar Energy Applications to Buildings", encouraging the adoption
to solar architectures in large buildings. There was an
enthusiastic response from project teams responsible for the design
of 32 large buildings with a total construction budget of more than
140 million ECU. During the design phase of these buildings the
Commission offered free design support to architects and design
team members to improve the building designs. The willingness to
collaborate with R&D experts encouraged the Commission's action
in this field. A summary of the results from the various design
support activities is presented in the second part of each volume.
This is the first volume of BUILDING 2000, a pilot project of the
Commission's R&D programme 'Solar Energy Applications to
Buildings' with the purpose of encouraging the adoption of solar
architecture in large buildings. In this first volume the results
of the design studies illustrating passive solar architecture in
buildings in the European Community are presented in particular for
the building categories: SCHOOLS, LABORATORIES AND UNIVERSITIES,
and SPORTS AND EDUCATIONAL CENTRES. In a second volume, a similar
series of studies is presented for the building categories: OFFICE
BUILDINGS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS and HOTELS AND HOLIDAY COMPLEXES. There
was an enthousiastic response from project teams responsible for
the design of 32 large buildings with a total construction budget
of more than 140 million ECU. The willingness to improve their
building concepts by collaborating with R&D-experts was
encouraging to the Commission's action in this field. These two
books reflect the results of the exchange of information between
the actual design practitioners and the European R&D-community.
Within the BUILDING 2000 programme 'Science and Technology at the
Service of Architecture' became reality. This was not only realised
by the various support activities initiated by BUILD ING 2000, but
also by the active exchange of ideas by architects and design team
members with R&D-workers during the various workshops held
within the BUILDING 2000 programme. I highly recommend architects
and engineers interested in passive solar architecture and modem
daylighting approaches to study these final products of the
BUILDING 2000 programme.
After the first successful conference in Munich in 1987, the
Commission of the European Communities has been organising its 2nd
Conference on Architecture in Paris. It is part of the Community's
development programme on solar energy. The use of solar energy in
dwellings and buildings in general was actually the starting point
of this conference and it still is a major part of it. But the
development of solar energy has not only led to a better energy
utilisation and a new type of comfort in our buildings; it just
showed an example of the immense technological potential which
still remains unexploited in modern architecture. The approach
needed is multi-disciplinary: these conferences are meant as the
forum where architects, scientists, engineers and industrialists
get together. I express my hope that they can lead the way to an
architecture stimulated by technology and a new start for
technology developments at the service of that architecture.

This volume provides a valuable overview of the Commission's
current activities in research on solar radiation data and in the
development of solar energy applications in buildings. It contains
the proceedings of the second contractors' co ordination meeting in
the third four year R+D programme (1985-88) in these two fields,
which was held in Brussels on 1 and 2 OCtober 1987. The first
meeting was held on 13 and 14 November 1986. (') The research
contractors' reports presented in this book give a full account of
activities at an important stage in the programme where most
projects have completed their preparatory stages and productive
research is now fully underway. A feature of the reports is the
pattern they illustrate of working groups in which practically all
of the Member states are represented, co operating in the
attainment of common goals within a co ordinated European
programme. The meeting was attended by 60 participants and extended
over two days. Presentations were made by the contractors on the
objectives of their projects, progress made in the research, and
future work plans and priorities. Each presentation was followed by
a short d- cussion. The meeting was also important in improving
communications between the research groups, exposing opportunities
for co operation and collaboration, and monitoring progress. Among
key achievements reported in the area 'Solar Radiation Data' is the
implementation of a network of measuring stations at eight proto
typical sites throughout Europe."
Observations cover the continents Africa and Europe, the Middle
East and wide regions of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Results
for the time period (1985-1986) are presented as coloured images
and in the form of tables. To ensure the accuracy of these
retrieved solar radiation fields at ground level, a comparison with
all available ground based pyranometer measurements was made.
