Within the REPLACE project, this best practice shows an energy efficient renovation made to an apartment of a 1850 building. In particular, the heating system has been replaced to an air-water heat pump which has allowed to reach energy savings.
WARMEST strategic goal is to optimize maintenance procedures in cultural and natural heritage sites through the introduction of new technologies to collect data and new tools to analyse it, creating a novel specific Decision Support System.
The architecture of this multi-functional building strengthens the conditions for a strong inside-outside relationship, enforces human-nature ties and environmental awareness. Dry wood construction and bio-based materials have been used to reduce the carbon footprint. It also uses renewable energy, such as solar photovoltaics, wood boilers and heat pumps.
The Global Status Report for Buildings and Construction (Buildings-GSR) provides an annual snapshot of the progress of the buildings and construction sector on a global scale and also reviewes the policies, financing initiatives, technology developments and solutions to monitor the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The EU wants to deliver more than 100 climate-neutral cities by 2030. Giulia Ulpiani, Project Officer for the European Commission Joint Research Centre Directorate C - Energy, Transport explains how the EU wants to achieve this difficult mission.
The project "SmartWins” aims to boost research for an innovative and carbon-neutral built environment with Digital Twins.
This interview questions the importance of renovating existing buildings to improve operational cost but also considering embodied carbon. The project suggests that Europe should find a way to mainstream sustainable buildings in order to achieve the decarbonisation targets.
