CEETB - Partner for sustainable construction
 |
The CEETB was founded in 1976
as the joint European association of electrical, heating,
air conditioning, ventilation and plumbing contractors.
|
|
Through its 27 membership countries, the CEETB represents
about 450,000 specialist building contractors with 2,400,000
employees in the European Union and beyond.
|
|
The overall turnover of these companies represents,
within the EU, about 200 billion Euro
|
|
Specialist contractors represent one quarter of the turnover
in the entire field and 31% of that of the building
sector . For certain projects, the technical equipping
of buildings represents 50% or more of the total project
costs. |
From the traditional "installer" to the "technical
contractor"
Over the past decades, the traditional "installers" have significantly extended their field of activities and developed into specialist engineering contractors offering not only the installation of technical equipment, but a whole package of highly complex services in the areas of building comfort , end-use efficiency and renewable sources of energy.
Our mission
The CEETB promotes at European level the interests of members in all areas of concern with a particular focus on:
|
Guaranteeing a level playing field in the liberalised energy markets.
|
|
Working towards an EU policy framework that supports investments in energy efficiency and renewable sources of energy.
|
|
Promoting highest quality and performance standards for technical installations inside and outside buildings through compulsory minimum qualifications and regular inspection and maintenance schemes.
|
|
Strengthening the role of specialist engineering contractors in the construction supply chain and promoting life cycle costs as award criterion for public and private contracts. |
