Current political directives for Technology

To achieve political directive targets of sustainable design and construction by 2020, SAVI architects aims to comply with the Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the council of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC.

Listed below are some essential legislations that we aim to comply with by 2020 in accordance with directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the council of 23 April 2009:

·         L140/17 (8)

The Commissions communication of 10^th January 2007 demonstrated that a 20 % target for the overall share of energy from renewable sources and a 10 % target for energy from renewable sources in transport would be appropriate and achievable objectives. By developing a framework that includes mandatory targets gives SAVI Architects stability as a business to make rational, sustainable investments in the renewable energy sector which are capable of reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels and boosting the use of new energy technologies. These targets exist in the context of the 20 % improvement in energy efficiency by 2020 set out in the Commission communication of 19 October 2006.

·         L140/17 (9)

We have a  commitment to the Community-wide development of energy from renewable sources beyond 2010. We endorse a mandatory target of a 20 % share of energy from renewable sources in overall Community energy consumption by 2020 and a mandatory 10 % minimum target to be achieved by all Member States for the share of biofuels in transport petrol and diesel consumption by 2020, to be introduced in a cost-effective way.

·         L140/17 (12)

By 2020 we aim to incorporate the use of agricultural materials such as manure, slurry and other animal and organic waste in 25% of our projects, for biogas production has in view the high greenhouse gas emissions, saving potential, significant environmental advantages in terms of heat and power production and its use as biofuel.

·         L140/18 (20)

We want to see technological progress and economies of scale to be reaped. In particular, we aim to give special attention can be given to sectors that suffer disproportionately from the absence of technological progress and economies of scale and therefore remain under-developed, but which, in future, could significantly contribute to reaching the targets for 2020.

The control of European energy consumption and the increased use of energy from renewable sources, together with energy savings and increased energy efficiency, constitute important factors within our quality assurance of measures needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and comply with the Kyoto Protocol to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change; and with further Community and international greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments beyond 2012. Those factors also have an important part to play in promoting the security of energy supply, promoting technological development and innovation and providing opportunities for employment and regional development, especially in rural and isolated areas.

In particular, increasing technological improvements, incentives for the use and expansion of public transport, the use of energy efficiency technologies and the use of energy from renewable sources in transport are some of the most effective tools we aim to explore. The community can reduce its dependence on imported oil in the transport sector, in which the security of energy supply problem is most acute, and influence the fuel market for transport.

The opportunities for establishing economic growth through innovation and a sustainable competitive energy policy has been recognised by our team. However, production of energy from renewable sources often depends on local or regional small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
