Eco-innovative, Safe and Energy Efficient wall panels and materials for a healthier indoor environment (ECO-SEE)

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

The ECO-SEE project aims to develop new eco-materials and components for the purpose of creating both healthier and more energy efficient buildings. We will create and symbiotically use natural eco-materials for healthier indoor environments through hygrothermal (heat and moisture) regulation and the removal airborne contaminants through both chemical capture and photocatalysis. Our objectives inc ...

"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 ...

Development of a cost effective system for exchanging information and managing risks of chemicals for the construction industry, addressing new challenges related to European chemical legislation (ChemXchange)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2012,

This proposal addresses the great challenge faced by the SMEs in the construction sector of complying with today’s obligations and regulatory requirements regarding exchange of information on hazardous chemicals between various actors in the sector. The European construction sector, being the largest industrial sector highly dominated by small enterprises, is a major downstream user of chemicals a ...

Development of a clean and energy self-sustained building in the vision of integrating H2 economy with renewable energy sources (H2SUSBUILD)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

More than 40% of the total energy consumed in the EU is used to cover the needs for heating, cooling and electricity of buildings. As the major part of this energy is produced from combustion of oil and natural gas, both the EU and the EU Building Sector are highly depended on imported fossil fuels. Moreover, the Sector is also a major contributor to Green-House Gas (GHG) emissions. To address iss ...

Phasing Out Very Dangerous Substances from the Construction Industry (Basta)

Start date: Sep 1, 2003, End date: Aug 31, 2006,

Background Over 45,000 chemical substances are used in the European construction sector. Approximately 35% of these contain components which can be classified as dangerous (carcinogenic, bio-accumulative, mutagenic, allergenic and/or persistent). The European construction industry employs around 11 million people who are exposed on a daily basis to su ...

COGAN - Competency in Geotechnical Analysis

Modern geotechnical design is increasingly reliant on engineering analysis. However such techniques are barely covered in a university education and concerns persist surrounding inappropriate use of analysis tools by untrained staff. The construction industry employed an estimated 148 million in the EU-27 in 2007, generating €562 billion (NACE Rev.1.1). In order to face competition, particularly f ...
