Research and pilot experiments of the end of the 20th century have developed knowledge and techniques tending to a sustainable built environment. The concern today is to bring them into use through a multidisciplinary approach integrating technical and architectural aspects, social preoccupations and economic data. The rational use of energy and the implementation of renewable energies are highly necessary and require more intelligence and time for the project. An affordable level of comfort and well-being must be proposed as an alternative to the growing standard heating and air-conditioning: a comfort adapted to the seasons and a smoother transition between interior and exterior, beneficial to health and more appropriate to passive solutions and renewable energies. The 23rd PLEA conference in Geneva will emphasize the importance of considerations and experiences propitious for an intelligent, sustainable built environment, accessible to all.
