heal.abstract	The last decade offered the foundation of several seminal concepts, which although natively composite and complex, amply demonstrate the potential of 21st century technology to affect important societal trends. Among notable candidates, the convergence of technologies related to information and energy, has revealed the potential to reform conventional modes of operation towards a sustainable and more rational way of resources utilization. Perhaps the most profound example of this technological integration will be met in forthcoming planning of residential and industrial building design, where the rapid advance of cogeneration technologies and respective legislation follow-up, pave the way for a vast growing market. The rational behind this blooming market becomes directly apparent, considering that the international power authorities and vendors, must -among many other issues such as power network safety- urgently address the gross imbalance between central power generation (93% global share), which is characterised by high losses from transmission and distribution (T&D) systems and inefficient power plants. Electricity losses are running at a minimum of 13.4% a year from developing countries T&D systems, while the efficiency of central power plants is only around 33%. This waste of energy, which is directly associated with the traditional model of central power generation -but can be largely stopped by the use of building-level cogeneration, is dragging along massive social, economic and environmental damage -particularly to the world's poor countries. Millions of people are failing to receive a supply of electricity as a consequence; national fuel bills are billions of dollars higher than they could be, and pollutant emissions are causing untold additional health and environmental harm. At this point it must be clearly stated, that at the context of this paper the term services is restrained to energy consumption reduction services.	en
