REuse and REcycling of CDW materials and structures in energy efficient pREfabricated elements for building REfurbishment and construction (RE4)

Start date: Sep 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,

The overall goal of the RE4-Project is to promote new technological solutions for the design and development of structural and non-structural pre-fabricated elements with high degree of recycled materials and reused structures from partial or total demolition of buildings. The developed technology will aim at energy efficient new construction and refurbishment, thus minimizing environmental impact ...

Preparing for Extreme And Rare events in coastaL regions (PEARL)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"Coastal floods are one of the most dangerous and harmful natural hazards affecting urban areas adjacent to shorelines. Rapid urbanisation combined with climate change and poor governance means a significant increase in the risk of local surface flooding coinciding with high water levels in rivers and high tide or storm surges from the sea, posing a greater risk of devastation to coastal communiti ...

Holistic and Optimized Life-cycle Integrated SupporT for Energy-Efficient building design and Construction (HOLISTEEC)

Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,

Despite recent evolutions of tools/practices in the Architecture Engineering, Construction and Facility Management have already resulted in considerable advances, some limitations remain, related to the complexity and variability of building life cycles, addressing building end user awareness and participation, lack of new business models, life cycle fragmentation, limited interoperability of the ...

Energy efficient & Cost competitive retrofitting solutions for Shopping buildings (EcoShopping)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

EcoShopping project aims to build a holistic retrofitting solution for commercial buildings to reduce primary energy consumption down to less than 80kWh/m2 per year and increase the share of RES (Renewable Energy Sources) more than 50% compared to the state of the art. The approach will be systemic by developing (1). Novel thermal insulation solutions using cost effective materials to further redu ...

An Energy Efficient Air Conditioning systems with Temperature and Humidity independent controls based on the combination of a Liquid Desiccants Cycle with an adapted conventional air cooling system (NANOCOOL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Air-conditioning is a rapidly growing electrical end-use in EU. A/C systems reduce temperature of the ambient air while removing humidity. However such combined air conditioning/dehumidification is generally inefficient. A promising approach is represented by Hybrid Liquid Desiccant (HLD) systems, where the latent load is removed by a liquid desiccant dehumidifier, while the sensible load is remov ...

SUStainable, innovative and energy-efficient CONcrete, based on the integration of all-waste materials (SUS-CON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

The project aims at developing new technology routes to integrate waste materials in the production cycle of concrete, for both ready-mixed and pre-cast applications, resulting in an innovative light-weight, eco-compatible and cost-effective construction material, made by all-waste raw materials and characterized by low embodied energy and CO2 and by improved ductility and thermal insulation perfo ...

Cost-Effective Tools for Better Indoor Environment in Retrofitted Energy Efficient Buildings (CETIEB)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

The refurbishing to an energy efficient standard leads to tight buildings (whole envelope: windows, walls, etc.) and affects the indoor climate. In case of refurbishing the inhabitants or users are not adapted to this new situation. Therefore the air exchange rates could be lower than required if no mechanical ventilation is installed or the system performance is not optimised. Then, in trying to ...

Genomics biomarkers of environmental health (EnviroGenomarkers)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Feb 28, 2013,

This project concerns the first large-scale application of the full range of –omics technologies in a population study aiming at a) the discovery and validation of novel biomarkers predictive of increased risks of a number of chronic diseases, b) the exploration of the association of such biomarkers with environmental exposures, including high-priority pollutants and emerging exposures, and c) the ...

European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects (ESCAPE)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2012,

"European policy making is hampered by considerable uncertainty about the magnitude and nature of the impacts of long term exposure to air pollution on human health. ESCAPE is a collaboration of more than 30 European cohort studies including some 900,000 subjects. It is aimed at quantifying health impacts of air pollution and at reducing uncertainty. ESCAPE will also test new hypotheses on specifi ...
