The HOMES collaborative innovation programme, designed to create solutions for achieving optimal energy performance in all buildings, unveiled its website, an open space for sharing information on energy efficiency.

The site presents the HOMES programme, its partners, ambitions and solutions in an original approach, supported by a streamlined, innovative style. Using the latest and simplest Internet technologies, the site is continuously updated with content from programme partners, and suggests participation to universities, research laboratories and other external contributors. “The site is the perfect illustration of the HOMES programme’s collaborative philosophy, as everyone can add content”, explains Didier Pellegrin, HOMES Programme Director.

The four-year (2008-2012) programme is supported by the French Agency for Innovation (OSEO), is led by Schneider Electric and brings together 13 manufacturers and research organizations.
