Building energy renovation through timber prefabricated modules (BERTIM)
Start date: Jun 1, 2015, End date: May 31, 2019,
About 40% of the overall energy consumption in Europe is related to the building sector and represents about 1/3 of Europe’s CO2 emissions. The successful accomplishment of the emission reduction target by 2050, involves the need to increase the rate of retrofitting of the inefficient building stock up to 2.9%. In order to increase the renovation rate, more efficient renovation processes from desi ...
