The long term objective of the New Electrical Installation system -project (USAJ) was to develop a flexible electrical distribution system for buildings. The new system is part of, HVAC-2000, a-five-year research project, financed by the Ministry of Trade and Industry. To obtain the objective the project was divided into research and product development projects covering an interval of several years and was designated to cover several levels. The Visionary phase resulted in obtaining the operating principles and specifications for an electrical installation system which takes into account the European installation systems and is competitive as far as functionality and cost structure are concerned. Altogether 42 different products were developed in the project and in the project following it. There were four systems which were already on the market or as prototypes: Cable channel system equipped with flexible snab-on techniques, snab-on electric harnesses, control system for the use of electricity and a track system for luminaries. In addition 62 different research and test reports were obtained. 12 Finnish and 9 Norwegian companies participated in the EUREKA 432 project which was a clear outcome of this project. It concentrated on developing an electrical distribution system where for example socket outlets, electrical radiators etc. can be moved easily from one place to another. There were four pilot test sites: TAT-testhouse, the house of Archimedes, Metop and Nestehouse. The objective in these buildings was, one way or another, to develop a control system for the use of electricity
