The Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) is leading the E3D project to enhance building energy efficiency using 3D printed concrete facades. This initiative aims to reduce material usage and construction time while promoting sustainability through eco-driven design. 

The project collaborates with industry and academic partners, including KTH, ABB, Adaxis, Heidelberg Materials, FOJAB, and SIKA. RISE emphasizes 3D printing's role in sustainable building, offering design flexibility and reduced material consumption. 

The project incorporates passive and active design elements, using cellular lightweight concrete for better insulation and durability. Funded by Energimyndigheten, it will run for three years in Västra Götaland.
