The EU Mission 100 Climate Neutral and Smart Cities by 2030 states that while cities represent only 4% of the EU’s land area are home to 75% of EU citizens, contributing to more than 65% of energy consumption and for more than 70% of CO2...
Existing tools and methods to conserve heritage are not always sustainable. The EU-funded GoGreen project seeks to rectify this by targeting conservation practices that are based on green principles. To do this, it will develop damage...
"GoGreen: green strategies to conserve the past and preserve the future of cultural heritage" will work together with scholars and socio-economists to ensure its tools and methods generate results for everyone’s benefit and for the...
Departing from architecture, design and art we will create an open learning environment with principles, methods and guidelines to support us in designing an irresistible circular society. We will present a DESIRE lighthouse demonstrator,...
Designing an Irresistible Circular Society (DESIRE) aims to create an alternative way forward for the built environment supporting the EU mission of ‘100 climate-neutral and smart cities’. Against seemingly insurmountable challenges of...
First, by co-creating a vibrant site of encounter, dialogue and shared learning. The Cultuurcampus will be housed in a historical building, the refurbishment of which unites a sustainable re-design vision of students of architecture and...
Cultuurcampus pilots a new approach to city making through education, research, policy and culture at the heart of Rotterdam South, an area which is exemplary of the complex challenges and diverse potential of Europe’s most disadvantaged...
Innovation and entrepreneurship are the main drivers of urban regeneration. In Historic Urban Areas (HUAs), the key factor is to foster innovation while conserving the historic natural, cultural and social sites. This is the aim of the EU-...
The HUB-IN project (Hubs of Innovation and Entrepreneurship for the Transformation of Historic Urban Areas) aims to promote innovation and entrepreneurship in the Historic Urban Areas (HUA), while preserving the unique identity of the...
Creating NEBourhoods Together will pave the way to make Munich-Neuperlach “New European Bauhaus-ready”. Neuperlach (NPL) was Germany's biggest post-war urban expansion area with about 65.000 inhabitants. To make this 50-year-old district...
Creating NEBourhoods Together proposes Munich-Neuperlach as test-bed for urban innovation landscapes.
In addition, SUPERSHINE will also contribute to the decrease of energy poverty. The SUPERSHINE lighthouse districts will be characterised by energy efficient buildings, low carbon mobility, smart grids, efficient water and waste management...
The objectives and impacts of the SUPERSHINE project will assist and support the European Commission to implement the European Green Deal. Particular attention will be paid to the renovation of social housing, to help households who...
With CO2 emission at 36% and energy consumption at 40%, building sector is far from sustainability. The need for construction materials to achieve climate neutral buildings reaches 0.2 m3 per m2 of net floor in France, leading to several...
EASI ZERo proposes a global system to cut the environmental impact by rising the thermal performance of buildings’ envelope by 20% with bio-sourced and recycled materials. This include grown mycelium, wood fibres, low carbon foam, recycled...
The heating and cooling of buildings is one main energy consumer in Europe. Especially residential heating is the main emitter of greenhouse gases and other air pollutants and air conditioning systems heavily contribute to urban...
The Envola storage heat pump enables the world’s first highly energy-efficient heating, cooling and ventilation system significantly reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in Europe.
Transparent solar cells in windows are already possible. But up to now, they have not been sufficiently effective in converting sunlight into electricity. The EU-funded CITYSOLAR project aims to change this by combining two photovoltaic...
In the CITYSOLAR project, a new breakthrough concept for TPV will be developed by exploiting the combined use of emerging technologies, namely multi-junction solar modules developed from near-ultraviolet perovskite and near-infrared...
EXPERT TALKS series is an initiative from the BUILD UP portal. In the form of face-to-face interviews, experts from all around Europe covering the field of Energy Efficiency in buildings from different perspectives share their views,...
"What is very important in order to improve the building performance is to integrate renewable energy sources. We need to have very efficient ventilation to ensure the indoor air quality, we need to have very efficient heating and cooling...
Fire resilience is a crucial element of building sustainability, especially with the increasing use of new construction materials and technologies. Slovenia’s National Building and Civil Engineering Institute (ZAG) will boost its practice...
The FRISSBE project will implement new practices at ZAG by attracting and maintaining high quality personnel under the direction of the ERA Chair holder. The project will lead to lasting, sustainable structural changes to achieve...
Building facades are designed to meet energy efficiency requirements but these are insufficient for seismic hazard zones. Facade damage can occur even during low seismic activity and represents a potential threat to safety and economy.
...
The EU-funded SAFE-FACE project will develop earthquake-proof sustainable facades for mid-rise and newly built residential and office buildings via sustainable techniques for integrating damage-control. The project will develop...
The RUGGEDISED project will create urban spaces powered by secure, affordable and clean energy, smart electro-mobility, smart tools and services. The overall aims are:
Improving the quality of life of the citizens, by offering the...
RUGGEDISED was a smart city project funded under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme. It brought together three lighthouse cities: Rotterdam, Glasgow and Umeå and three fellow cities: Brno, Gdansk and Parma...
The globalisation trends in the building sector resulted in the adoption of inadequate design solutions, especially for warm weather regions, which replicated designs that are far from sustainable or energy-efficient. The obsession with...
It is urgent to study the best sustainable designs for warm climate zones to unleash their market and research potential, thus popularising these concepts to a broader audience. These designs involve bioclimatic approach, low-energy...
Promoting a more circular production paradigm, engaging communities, and promoting urban and community development can be achieved through collaborative production in cities.
