“…Other issues include varying certification costs, lack of transparency of certified information and no cooperation between certification bodies. Given that all of the certifications plan on growing, more research is needed into sustainability certification, especially from the consumer perspective (Moore and Engstrom ).…”

The wine sector worldwide consumes a considerable amount of energy, with much of it used for cooling and ventilating cellars (ageing rooms). For this reason, the design of energy efficient cellars is increasingly gaining importance. With the aim of developing cellars that require little or no energy to maintain wine maturation conditions constant, this article presents a synopsis of the principles of cellar design for reducing the energy demand of cellars and a graphical review of actual cellars. The principles are based on the implementation of relevant parameters, such as cellar orientation, shape, depth, envelope system, passive cooling mechanisms and shading. A chronology of cellar monitoring and modelling is presented because of its direct influence on the hygrothermal behaviour and design of cellars. Previous studies in the literature were analysed to determine the underlying influence of these parameters on total energy demand and to suggest the best design options. This analysis is also based on the experience of the authors and will be useful for those involved in the design of energy saving wine cellars.

“…Even if one could imagine a mediated consensus about the 'real' definition of what is a sustainable building, standardization in practice -and the absence of an external mediator -would be a question of power and market forces rather than a question of scientific truth (Moore and Engstrom, 2005). In his doctoral thesis, Hansen (1997) shows how, from the beginning of the development of the procedure for the MEMPD, there were very different fundamental understandings (or technological frameworks) represented in the committee responsible for designing the procedure, but that this plurality has to give way during the process.…”

“…Governance and visibility are elements from ecological modernization that are also well known in the construction sector. Standardization is central to many processes within the construction sector, and arguably a central part of the modernization process in general (Farmer and Guy, 2005;Moore and Engstrom, 2005) and, therefore, also of the ecological modernization of sustainable buildings.…”

How has the contemporary development of sustainable buildings been influenced by the concept of ecological modernization? Ecological modernization is a policy concept describing how environmental considerations are increasingly being integrated into modern society's institutions through, for example, new types of cooperation and new applications of economic and market dynamics. Evidence is based on recent examples from politics and practice in the construction sector in Denmark, where sustainable buildings have gone through great changes -from being primarily isolated cases driven by enthusiasts and grassroots to being a more widespread, generally obtainable, and integrated product. This is considered within the context of ecological modernization, along with the implications of potential benefits and drawbacks. Based on the concepts of governance, standardization, and visibility, it is found that ecological modernization has penetrated in Danish sustainable buildings and has contributed to a positive development. However, there are aspects of sustainable consumption to which this development does not relate, including a constantly increasing demand for housing and the consequent increased demand for space heating.Comment le développement contemporain des bâ timents durables a-t-il été influencé par le concept de modernisation écologique? La modernisation écologique est un concept théorique qui explique comment les considérations environnementales sont de plus en plus intégrées dans les institutions de la société moderne, par exemple, par de nouveaux types de coopération et de nouvelles applications de la dynamique économique et des marchés. L'évidence repose sur de récents exemples puisés dans la théorie et la pratique du secteur de la construction au Danemark, où les bâ timents durables ont subi des modifications importantes, passant du cas isolé ayant pour origine des personnes enthousiastes et des initiatives locales, à un produit plus répandu, que l'on peut obtenir et intégrer facilement. L'ensemble est considéré dans le contexte de la modernisation écologique, avec tout ce que cela entraîne comme avantages et inconvénients potentiels. En se basant sur les concepts de gouvernance, de normalisation et de visibilité, il s'avère, au Danemark, que la modernisation écologique a pénétré dans les bâ timents durables et a contribué à un développement positif. Il reste toutefois des aspects de consommation durable vis-à -vis de laquelle ce développement n'a pas de rapport, y compris une demande constamment croissante de logements et, par voie de conséquence, une demande accrue de chauffage de ces bâ timents.
