Envelope Approach to improve Sustainability and Energy efficiency in Existing multi-storey multi-owner residential buildings (EASEE)

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

EASEE aims at developing a tool-kit for energy efficient envelope retrofitting of existing multi-storey and multi-owner buildings which combines novel design and assessment strategies, modular prefabricated elements, advanced insulating materials and new scaffolding-free installation approaches, to reduce energy demand, minimising the impact on occupants while preserving the façade original appear ...

Low Embodied Energy Advanced (Novel) Insulation Materials and Insulating Masonry Components for Energy Efficient Buildings (LEEMA)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,

A review of the embodied energy values of the various building materials shows that the embodied energy of the most widely used insulation materials in construction applications is characterised by very high values. This mainly results either from the energy intensive conditions applied for the manufacturing of the mineral based insulation materials or from the high embodied energies of the oil-ba ...

"Supporting the roofing SMEs in the development and use of a new generation of roofing materials applicable with fault tolerant procedures, reducing the use of petroleum-based products" (NU-ROOF)

Start date: Jan 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"One of the most important and costly operations in the construction and maintenance of a building is the insulation of the roof. Current materials used in the application procedures for waterproofing are applied with heat, locally melting the edges to create a continuous impermeable layer. This procedure highly depends on the operators’ skills and it is prone to error and potential leakages. It ...

Development of a cost-effective and lightweight hand pallet truck for application in material handling (ECOPAT)

Start date: Aug 1, 2010, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

"The manufacturing of plastic products has dramatically decreased during the last years. Therefore, several SMEs are opening their market to a wide range of not exploited sectors and developing advanced/innovative products through the use of cutting edge technologies. The hand pallet truck (HPT) production has been identified as one possible application where techno-plastics could play a crucial r ...
