Imagine a high-tech sponge that can selectively soak up invisible pollutants and gases that rot old paintings and books. Instead of running massive, power-hungry air conditioners 24/7, these smart materials clean the air more naturally. It's like upgrading from a giant, noisy industrial fan to a smart, silent filter that knows exactly what to remove.
Museums and archives spend excessive energy on HVAC systems to prevent chemical pollutants from destroying artifacts. Current technologies are often inefficient and lack smart, predictive control.
A portfolio of MOF-based adsorbents for gas capture, predictive contaminant modelling, and 20 modular hardware prototypes.
If you are a museum operator dealing with high electricity bills for climate control — this project developed MOF-based adsorbents and modular designs that reduce energy demand by 30-50%.
If you are an HVAC manufacturer dealing with inefficient air purification for sensitive archives — this project developed a portfolio of innovative solutions and predictive modelling to forecast contaminant levels.
If you are a chemical company dealing with the need for high-performance gas capture — this project developed Metal Organic Frameworks (MOFs) to capture VOCs, NOx, and H2S in real scenarios.
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project focuses on reducing energy demand by 30-50% to lower operational costs.
The project aims to develop 20 prototypes to be demonstrated in 7 different GLAM contexts across Europe, indicating a move toward scaling.
Based on available project data, the project is developing new business models for the solutions portfolio, but specific licensing terms are not yet disclosed.
The project develops modular designs and predictive modelling that couple with monitoring sensors to improve traditional HVAC and showcase conditioning.
The project runs from 2025-01-01 to 2028-12-31.
The consortium is well-balanced for commercialization, featuring 18 partners across 8 countries. With a 22% industry ratio (4 industrial partners, including 2 SMEs), the project blends high-level academic research from 6 universities and 5 research centers with practical market application and business model development.
