Project description
Smarter materials for greener buildings
Europe’s buildings are some of the biggest energy users, responsible for 40 % of energy use and over a third of CO2 emissions. As the EU moves towards nearly zero-energy buildings, or nZEB, smarter materials and innovative designs are urgently needed. In this context, the EU-funded Exploit4InnoMat project is stepping up with a unique Open Innovation Testbed, helping developers and companies test in real-life settings next-generation building materials, such as aerogel coatings and 3D-printed components. From flexible facades to energy-efficient roofs, the project brings science closer to the streets. Exploit4InnoMat is now opening its doors to new partners through an open call(opens in new window).
Objective
Building sector is responsible for 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU. As nZEB becomes the
new standard, the role of building materials and smart envelope systems is becoming more and more important.
Exploit4InnoMat OITB will make available a high-end Open Innovation Testbed network for building envelopes including roofs
and facades, enabling the replication of prototypes in different buildings taking into consideration the trade-offs between the
three sustainability pillars, the life cycle stages as well as their impacts.
End-User Market Needs for low-cost, flexible, on demand material-based solutions, which will be assessed through an
extensive partnership knowledge on materials characterization and modelling, monitoring and process control,
environmental and assessment, regulatory and standardization, social acceptance and innovation management, realizing for
nZEB solutions. In order to achieve this target a wide range of expertise has been brought to the OITB covering fields such
as Open Innovation Testbeds for nano enabled cement, non cement premixes and ceramics, advanced coatings and glazing
solutions loaded with aerogel, fibers, PCMs and other nanomaterials providing multifunctional properties; pilot lines for
nanodispersion, 3D printing and roboting spraying; as well as a network of four real scale living laboratories for nZEB
technologies evaluation, will facilitate a realization tool for developing close to market technological solutions. Additionally, a
semi-automated tool combining BIM analysis, fast track modelling and simulation will make enable a digital tool for utilizing
building blocks (structural, solar thermal and BIPV) in order to create a harmonized and aesthetically pleasing urban
environment.
