DEMONSTRATION OF INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTION COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES (STEELPROST)

Start date: Sep 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2015,

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures lack performance and has resulted in a decrease in structural steel market share. State-of-the-art intumescent coatings (ICs) is not a robust technology due to extensive coating and drying times, and low fire resistance (FR) values. There have not been any innovative solutions to overcome such problems in the last few years, resu ...

Novel Business model generator for Energy Efficiency in construction and retrofitting (NEWBEE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

The increasing cost of traditional energy sources and the availability of new emerging building technologies in lighting, heating, ventilation, air conditioning, isolation, energy monitoring and management of the buildings, are expected to increase the global market for low carbon solutions. However, some financial, organizational and social innovation enablers are required to leverage the transfo ...

Highly efficient production of ultra-lightweight clay-aerogel materials and their integrated composites for building insulation (ICECLAY)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2014,

40% of energy consumption and 36% CO2 emissions in Europe are directly related to the buildings due mainly to inefficient insulation materials and systems. Currently required insulation performance may only be achieved either by installing extremely thick ordinary insulation materials and sacrificing living spaces or by using unaffordable the state-of-the-art insulation materials (e.g. silica aero ...

Development of PCM-based innovative insulating solutions for the Light-weight building sector (STOREPET)

Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2014,

New building strategies addressing climate change effects and reduction of heating/cooling energy are two fundamental issues at EU level. Figures as the 35,000 excess deaths attributed to the last heat wave in the continent in 2003, or 10% of the world’s energy being used just for heating of buildings support European citizen’s concerns and new EU legislation. New national and communitarian string ...

OPEN HOUSE - Benchmarking and mainstreaming building sustainability on the EU based on transparency and openness (open source and availability) from model to implementation (OPEN HOUSE)

Start date: Feb 1, 2010, End date: Jul 31, 2013,

The overall objective of OPEN HOUSE is to develop and to implement a common European transparent building assessment methodology, complementing the existing ones, for planning and constructing sustainable buildings by means of an open approach and technical platform. OPEN HOUSE will develop a transparent approach able to emerge collectively in an open way across the EU. This approach will be commu ...

INNOVATIVE FIRE PROTECTIVE COATINGS FOR STEEL STRUCTURES (STEELPROST)

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

Current methods to provide fire protection of light steel structures include the nowadays most efficient approach of intumescent paints, which are typically applied on-site on a mounted structure using brushes or spray guns. Such treatments are generally achieved through the preparation of the surface by grit/shot blasting, followed by the application of a primer, and followed by the application o ...

Production of an innovative Lightweight Ceramic Brick, with increase noise absorption capabilities and heat insulation (SILENTWALL)

Start date: Oct 1, 2008, End date: Mar 31, 2011,

The overall technological aim is to develop a mould-brick acoustic solution based on noise absorption and insulation due material density and porosity that will at least increase levels in 6 dB in performance but at a 20% lower weight and will avoid or minimize noise flanking. The acoustic insulation and absorption of the brick will be achieved by developing the concept of layers oand forms in the ...

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 ...
