All three projects (BIM4REN, INFINITE, METABUILDING LABS) focus on improving energy performance of existing residential buildings.
LOGIREP LOGISTIC
French property management firm contributing real-world building renovation expertise and demonstration sites to EU energy efficiency and building envelope research projects.
Their core work
LOGIREP LOGISTIC is a French housing and property management organization based in Suresnes that brings real-world building renovation expertise to EU research projects. They contribute practical knowledge of residential building stocks, tenant management, and renovation logistics — serving as an end-user voice and demonstration partner for energy-efficient building retrofit technologies. Their involvement spans BIM-based renovation workflows, industrialized deep renovation solutions, and open innovation testbeds for building envelope materials.
What they specialise in
INFINITE and METABUILDING LABS both target building envelope solutions — from industrialized retrofitting to materials testing.
BIM4REN focused on making BIM-based renovation tools accessible to small contractors and SMEs.
METABUILDING LABS (their largest-funded project) involves open innovation testbeds and harmonized testing frameworks for building materials.
How they've shifted over time
Their early involvement (2018, BIM4REN) focused on digitizing the renovation process — making BIM tools accessible to small contractors and SMEs through collaborative processes and living labs. By 2020-2021, their focus shifted toward industrialized, whole-building-envelope deep renovation (INFINITE) and open innovation testbeds for building materials (METABUILDING LABS). The trajectory shows a move from digital process tools toward physical materials and industrialized construction solutions, with increasing funding and deeper project involvement.
Moving from digital-only renovation support toward integrated physical-digital deep renovation at industrial scale, with growing interest in materials testing and open innovation platforms.
How they like to work
LOGIREP LOGISTIC operates as a supporting partner rather than a project leader — they have never coordinated a project and started as a third party before becoming a full participant. They work in large consortia (94 unique partners across 18 countries), suggesting they contribute domain-specific knowledge within broad European alliances. Their value to consortia is as an end-user representative who provides real building stock and renovation needs, not as a research performer.
Broad European network spanning 94 unique partners across 18 countries, built through participation in large-scale Innovation Actions and Research & Innovation Actions focused on building renovation. Their network is construction- and energy-focused, centered on Western European renovation supply chains.
What sets them apart
As a property management organization (not a university or tech company), LOGIREP LOGISTIC offers something rare in EU construction research: the perspective of the building owner and operator who must actually implement renovation solutions at scale. They can provide real demonstration buildings, tenant access, and practical constraints that purely technical partners cannot. For consortium builders, they fill the critical "end-user validation" slot that EU calls increasingly require.
Highlights from their portfolio
- METABUILDING LABSTheir largest-funded project (EUR 216,926) and most recent, positioning them in open innovation testbeds for building envelope materials across Europe.
- INFINITEAddresses industrialized deep renovation with a whole-value-chain approach — running until 2026, indicating ongoing active participation.
- BIM4RENTheir entry point into H2020 as a third party, focused on making BIM renovation tools accessible to SMEs and small contractors.
