Innovative pre-fabricated components including different waste construction materials reducing building energy and minimising environmental impacts (InnoWEE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2016, End date: Sep 30, 2020,
The basic idea is to embed the waste from building demolition (fragmented bricks, fragmented plaster or concrete, fragmented glasses, machined wood from windows frame or from wood beams after demolition etc.) in a geopolymer matrix to produce prefabricated panels for different use.The main objective of InnoWEE is in fact the development of an optimized reuse of Construction and Demolition Waste (C ...

re-conceptualize shopping malls from consumerism to energy conservation (COMMONENERGY)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
CommONEnergy focuses on existing shopping malls to be refurbished and buildings with a different original function, redesigned to become shopping malls. Wholesales&Retail buildings represent 28% of the total non-residential building stock (BPIE, 2010), accounting for approximately 157 Mtoe in 2005 (EU EEAP). Considering typical shopping malls high impact on modern society (ICSC, 2008), the project ...

Cost-effective and sustainable Bio-Renewable Indoor Materials with high potential for customisation and creative design in Energy Efficient buildings (BRIMEE)
Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2017,
"The challenge of today lies in the accomplishment of sustainable and low-energy buildings, which can combine at the same time the thermal insulation properties with healthy, comfortable, accessible and safe indoor environment. Reduction of the energy demand through the use of insulating materials still remains a challenge for European architects and building designers as well as materials produce ...

Constructing buildings with customizable size PV modules integrated in the opaque part of the building skin (CONSTRUCT-PV)
Start date: Feb 1, 2013, End date: Jan 31, 2017,
Construct-PV will develop and demonstrate customizable, efficient, and low cost BIPV for opaque surfaces of buildings. Opaque surfaces are selected because they represent massive wide-area spaces of untapped harvesting potential across Europe. To develop highly efficient systems, most promising PV technologies have been selected, i.e. back contact cells fabricated with MWT technology, extensively ...

ENERGY EFFICIENCY FOR EU HISTORIC DISTRICTS SUSTAINABILITY (EFFESUS)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Aug 31, 2016,
Europe can become the leader in CO2 emission reduction by applying innovative solutions to its built cultural heritage. According to the European Recovery Plan one of the actions that needs to be taken to tackle the current crisis, is investing in energy efficiency. Historic urban buildings consume 4% of all energy and are responsible for 3% of CO2 emissions. Therefore, improving energy efficiency ...

Low Embodied Energy Advanced (Novel) Insulation Materials and Insulating Masonry Components for Energy Efficient Buildings (LEEMA)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
A review of the embodied energy values of the various building materials shows that the embodied energy of the most widely used insulation materials in construction applications is characterised by very high values. This mainly results either from the energy intensive conditions applied for the manufacturing of the mineral based insulation materials or from the high embodied energies of the oil-ba ...
