The International Energy Agency, Energy Conservation in Building and Community Systems, with cooperation from the Solar Research and Development and the Commission of the European Communities has been developing plans for new areas of investigation that affect various energy, environmental, economic, and technical trends on buildings of the next 40 years. Creating a sustainable society must be accomplished in the next forty years. If it hasn't happened in that time frame, environmental degradation and economic decline may be irreversible. Therefore, IEA has initiated action by establishing this project to address these issues. The Future Building Forum-2025 was held at The Hague, October 2--5, 1990. This conference identified seven topics for workshops: Building Futures Analytical Framework, Interfacing Advanced Mechanical Systems, Innovative Cooling Techniques, Building Envelopes as Energy Management Systems, Buildings for a Sustainable Built Environment, Efficient Use of Electricity, Interactive Approach to Low-Energy Buildings. Following the workshops on these topic areas the Forum will supply guidance for future IEA projects and annexes.
