15:00 - 17:30	Working Group Sessions (in parallel) Summary and Conclusions of First Day Working Groups WG 1: Vision and Requirements for Sustainable Buildings Keynote Speech: Visions and requirements for sustainable buildings Jean Luc Chevalier - CSTB This workshop will permit an open discussion on the vision all the actors of the construction sector can have collectively of a sustainable smart eco-building by 2030. The Smart-eco project work in 2008 resulted in a first attempt of the expression of that vision, and some requirements derived from that vision, organised within the various aspects of sustainability. After a synthetic presentation of that work, stakeholders will be invited to comment and improve it, through a series of questions asked first to a round table or persons representing different families of actors (research, architects, design, industry, authorities), and then to the audience. WG 2: Innovation in the Building Sector Keynote speech: Innovation in the building sector Stefano Saldini - MACE An interactive workshop on innovative technologies for buildings including: design, building technologies, renewable energy and construction techniques. The outcome will be to understand and prioritise elements which stakeholders believe have the greatest potential to impact sustainable buildings in the near future, 2010-2030.
