Va transmitem mai jos, spre informare, Comunicatul de presa al Consiliului Arhitectilor din Europa (ACE) privind Conferinta internationala pe tema Arhitectura, clima viitorului, organizata in colaborare de ACE, UIA, CNOA si CIAF, care a avut loc la Paris, pe 30 nov. 2015, ziua deschiderii Conferintei ONU privind Schimbarile Climatice (COP21).

Intr-un mesaj video, Dominique Ristori, Director General al Directiei Generale Energie al Comisiei Europene, a reamintit actiunile UE menite sa sprijine sectorul constructiilor in reducerea consumului energetic al cladirilor si a emisiilor de gaze de sera, subliniind nivelul ridicat de constientizare a arhitectilor in aceasta privinta, precum si necesitatea ca acestia sa contribuie la cresterea constientizarii publice, prin elaborarea de proiecte concrete de constructie si reabilitare.

In mesajul sau introductiv, Catherine Jacquot, Presedinta CNOA, a precizat ca reducerea emisiilor de gaze de sera si a consumului energetic vor determina o noua paradigma in stilul de viata, precum si in modul arhitectilor de proiectare si edificare a mediului construit, evidentiind responsabilitatea deosebita a acestora in modificarea acestei paradigme.

In cadrul mesei rotunde, arhitecti, ingineri si decidenti politici au facut un schimb de opinii pe tema modului de proiectare a unor constructii si orase reziliente si sustenabile.

PRESS RELEASE

Round table “Architecture, the Climate of the Future”: architects,
scientists and policy-makers come together to discuss climate change

On the opening day of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) on 30
November 2015, the International Union of Architects (UIA), the Architects' Council of Europe (ACE), the National Council of the Order of French Architects (CNOA) and the International Council of French Architects (CIAF) co-organised an international conference on the theme "Architecture, the Climate of the Future". At a round table, architects, scientists and policy-makers discussed solutions that Architecture can bring to the challenges posed by climate change.

Dominique RISTORI, Director General of DG Energy at the EU Commission,
recalled EU actions to help the construction sector to reduce energy
consumption in buildings and green house gas emissions. “Architecture is a central actor in the energy transition. I am pleased at the level of architects’ awareness of architects in this area. We need all your
expertise to contribute to raising public awareness, through the
preparation of concrete construction and renovation projects”, he said.

In her introductory speech
http://ace.mmwcrm.com/en/public/track/url/1765c4296fa03fa9dee495d853a53a9e1691e2d9190127961556685297ca6b4?mid=43&uid=11925&cid=334&preview=0 ,
Catherine JACQUOT, CNOA President, said that in developed economies, “the reduction of green house gas emissions and reduced energy consumption will lead to a paradigm shift in our lifestyles and in the way we design and construct the built environment (…) Architects have a great responsibility in this major paradigm change”. *According to CNOA President, sustainable cities “are becoming denser and use strict planning rules for expansion, driven by imperatives of ecological preservation and energy savings".*

During the round table, architects, engineer and policy-makers exchanged
views on how to design more resilient and sustainable buildings and cities.
According to architect Kenneth YEANG, buildings and cities must as far as possible, be inspired by nature, notably so as to reduce waste. Frédéric BONNET, 2014 ‘Grand Prix de l’Urbanisme’, stressed the importance of democratic debates with citizens, in order to allow effective and innovative solutions to emerge. Thierry SALOMON, Vice-President of Negawatt, presented the three axes of the energy transition: energy efficiency, energy conservation, renewable energies. Francis CHOUAT, Mayor of Evry, stressed the importance of the social mix and the functional diversity of spaces, while MEP Karima DELLI focused on mobility issues in city planning.

In his conclusion

ACE President Luciano LAZZARI *welcomed the leadership shown by the EU in recent years to drive forward improvements in the European building stock.
He stressed that Europe must concentrate on the renovation of existing
buildings and the regeneration of its cities. He finished by saying* "I
would like to see a future where Architects would be universally recognised as a large part of the solution, a future where an architect could have the same credibility as a doctor at the scene of an accident and can confidently say: I am an architect, I can help". UIA President ESA MOHAMED finally called on architects, politicians and all stakeholders of the construction industry to work together to fight climate change.
