Dissemination Strategy

In order to achieve the objectives the programme contains an elaborate dissemination work package (WP4).

The target audience includes:

• other researchers working on exergy in the built environment;
  
• other researchers working on exergy in other disciplines (e.g. mechanical engineering, chemistry, sustainable product design);
  
• research institutes and academia;
  
• industry represented by manufacturers and service providers: (building designers including architects as well as building-services and building-physics consultants).
  
  

The COST framework helps to enhance visibility among planners, policy makers and standards bodies.

The intended participants publish in specialised conferences, journals and through other research networks (e.g. IEA). A COST action provides a good forum for joint technical publications, and for targeting a broader audience with non-technical publications. Depending on budget availability, possible publications may include books (scientific, technical and/or for the general public) and workshop proceedings.

Public events of COSTeXergy will focus on (one-day) workshops in the framework of relevant international conferences. Depending on budget availability, specific events may also be organised, e.g.: training sessions for researchers and professionals (e.g. from New Member States) in the framework of “energy efficiency in buildings”; presentation sessions for CEN working groups; specialised meetings on specific subjects (e.g. EPBD and other directives). The targeted audience will include standards bodies, planners and policy makers, in addition to industry, research and education bodies.
