Resource- and Cost-effective integration of renewables in existing high-rise buildings (Cost-Effective)

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

The use of renewable energy in the building sector is today dominated by the application of solar domestic hot water and PV systems in single-family houses. In order to significantly increase the use of renewable energy in the building sector, concepts have to be developed for large buildings. In these buildings high fractions of the energy demand can only be met with renewable energy sources, whe ...

Technologies and Tools to prioritize assessment and diagnosis of air pollution impact on immovable and movable Cultural Heritage (TeACH)

Start date: Dec 1, 2008, End date: Feb 29, 2012,

Most buildings of cultural/historical interest are located in urban environments. They undergo a number of different external forcings, which need to be addressed separately. It is important to consider local-scale variations of the urban environment, such as changes in pollutants, temperature field, relative humidity cycles, wind field, urban heat island effect etc. The most important challenge ...

Support action for innovation driven clusters in construction. Regional approaches, multi-stakeholder engagement and cross regional co-operation (REG CON)

Start date: Feb 1, 2008, End date: Jan 31, 2010,

The driving idea of REG CON is the advancement of the concept of “R&D based clustering” across regions of Europe with a thematic focus on construction. This sector is both dynamic in creation of growth and employment [~7% of national employment/GDP, ~14% when add design and materials], but relatively backward in absorbing innovation. The Strategic Research Agenda prepared by European Construction ...
