Imagine updating an old house like swapping parts on a Lego set instead of doing messy construction on-site. This project creates pre-made 'renovation packages' that fit together quickly to save energy and add solar power. It's like a professional makeover for buildings that happens faster and costs less because the parts are built in a factory first.
Building renovations are currently too slow and expensive to meet EU climate goals. Owners struggle to find affordable, high-quality upgrades that don't ruin the building's original look.
Eight standardized renovation packages. These include prefabricated components and digital tools like Building Renovation Passports to speed up the upgrade process.
If you are a contractor dealing with slow on-site installation times — this project developed 8 renovation packages that use prefabrication and off-site assembly to reduce production and installation times.
If you are a manager dealing with high energy costs across multiple assets — this project developed deep renovation solutions that can reduce energy consumption by over 60%.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with low demand for sustainable building parts — this project developed multifunctional components and active/passive elements that increase market uptake and scalability.
The project focuses on making renovations economically viable by adopting cost-effective innovations that do not increase production or installation costs.
Yes, the project aims to boost market uptake and replicability by deploying 8 renovation packages across 4 different countries: Greece, Italy, France, and Hungary.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on developing and demonstrating prototypes up to TRL7, but specific licensing terms are not listed.
It is designed to support the 'Renovation Wave for Europe' strategy and the EU Green Deal, specifically targeting deep renovations.
The process uses Digital Building Logbooks, Building Renovation Passports, and the Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) to streamline planning.
The consortium is heavily industry-driven with a 52% industry ratio, comprising 13 industrial partners including 8 SMEs. This strong commercial presence, combined with 4 universities and 6 research centers across 8 countries, suggests the project is geared toward market entry rather than pure academic research.
