Holistic and Optimized Life-cycle Integrated SupporT for Energy-Efficient building design and Construction (HOLISTEEC)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2017,
Despite recent evolutions of tools/practices in the Architecture Engineering, Construction and Facility Management have already resulted in considerable advances, some limitations remain, related to the complexity and variability of building life cycles, addressing building end user awareness and participation, lack of new business models, life cycle fragmentation, limited interoperability of the ...

An Energy Efficient Air Conditioning systems with Temperature and Humidity independent controls based on the combination of a Liquid Desiccants Cycle with an adapted conventional air cooling system (NANOCOOL)
Start date: Sep 1, 2012, End date: Feb 29, 2016,
Air-conditioning is a rapidly growing electrical end-use in EU. A/C systems reduce temperature of the ambient air while removing humidity. However such combined air conditioning/dehumidification is generally inefficient. A promising approach is represented by Hybrid Liquid Desiccant (HLD) systems, where the latent load is removed by a liquid desiccant dehumidifier, while the sensible load is remov ...

SUStainable, innovative and energy-efficient CONcrete, based on the integration of all-waste materials (SUS-CON)
Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2015,
The project aims at developing new technology routes to integrate waste materials in the production cycle of concrete, for both ready-mixed and pre-cast applications, resulting in an innovative light-weight, eco-compatible and cost-effective construction material, made by all-waste raw materials and characterized by low embodied energy and CO2 and by improved ductility and thermal insulation perfo ...

Cost-Effective Tools for Better Indoor Environment in Retrofitted Energy Efficient Buildings (CETIEB)
Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2014,
The refurbishing to an energy efficient standard leads to tight buildings (whole envelope: windows, walls, etc.) and affects the indoor climate. In case of refurbishing the inhabitants or users are not adapted to this new situation. Therefore the air exchange rates could be lower than required if no mechanical ventilation is installed or the system performance is not optimised. Then, in trying to ...
