Europe's Eco-Experimentation House

23 March 2006 - 12:00pm

In Brussels, one house brimming over with green technology may hold the answers to many of Europe's energy concerns.

A group of European leaders visited "this particular building in Rue D'Arlon [Brussels] because it may hold some of the answers to some of Europe's most difficult questions - questions which the leaders of the EU will grapple with over the [spring summit of EU leaders].

How is Europe going to secure its energy supplies? How can Europe reduce its energy bills? And how can Europe cut back on the burning of fossil fuels that may lead to climate change?”

The building, which houses a cluster of renewable energy associations, is now something of a living laboratory.

Over the past few years it has been gutted and rebuilt. As it has been reconstructed, state-of-the-art environmental technology has been embedded within."
