Multi-functional light-weight WALL panel based on ADAPTive Insulation and nanomaterials for energy efficient buildings (ADAPTIWALL)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

Achieving EU’s energy-efficiency targets (2050 goals) depends on the right measures to retrofit existing building stock, which is dominated by residential buildings. Approximately 85% of the existing dwellings were built before 1990 with poor façade and roof insulation. Due to this weakness much energy is wasted when operating auxiliary heating, ventilation and air conditioning installations. Curr ...

Rapid deployable kits as seeds for self-recovery (S(P)EEDKITS)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,

Humanitarian organisations like the Red Cross have sleeping emergency response units (ERU), which start acting immediately after disaster strikes. Each ERU has a specific function, e.g. medical care, sanitation, energy provision, or water supply.Current equipment solutions will be scanned and bottlenecks with respect to large volumes and/or heavy weight will be identified. Then, novel materials an ...

Intelligent and luminous textiles (i-Tex)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Mar 31, 2015,

Driven by advances in R&D and in inorganic light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the Lighting industry is expected to change substantially in the next five years. At the same time, a shift in the value chain from components (LEDs) towards intelligent lighting systems is expected. This technology trend is mirrored by similar market trends substantiated by end-users expectations for miniaturization of elect ...
