Quality management for building performance - improving energy performance by life cycle quality management (QUANTUM)

Start date: Jan 1, 2016, End date: Dec 31, 2019,

The estimated average gap between calculated and actual energy performance of the European building stock is 25% for energy performance and 1,5% for comfort performance (as scored by building occupants). Comprehensive research has shown that faultily commissioned and operated building management systems are a main cause for this gap mainly caused by the lack of appropriate and coherent quality man ...

Self-healing concrete to create durable and sustainable concrete structures (HEALCON)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"Within the call “Self-healing materials for prolonged lifetime”, self-healing concrete is an important topic. Adequate perpetuation of the road, tunnel and bridge network, is crucial to preserving European cohesion and business operations; and around 70% of this infrastructure is made of concrete. In order to guarantee liquid tightness of concrete structures, and enhance durability of elements pr ...

"MAINtenance, renewaL and Improvement of rail transport iNfrastructure to reduce Economic and environmental impacts" (MAINLINE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

"Growth in demand for rail transportation across Europe is predicted to continue. Much of this growth will have to be accommodated on existing lines that contain old infrastructure. This demand will increase both the rate of deterioration of these elderly assets and the need for shorter line closures for maintenance or renewal interventions. However, interventions on elderly infrastructure will al ...
