Enabling smart-grid ready building through integrated solutions and digital technologies.
The 5th annual plenary meeting of the High Level Construction Forum is just around the corner. The event will take place in person in Brussels at the Breydel building of the Directorate-General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW).
The EU's revised Renewable Energy Directive aims to accelerate the clean energy transition, setting a binding target of 42.5% renewable energy consumption by 2030, bolstering competitiveness and reducing external dependency, with simplified permitting and sustainability criteria to support deployment and achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
The study demonstrates that using eco-efficient ZS ceramic bricks in building construction can reduce energy consumption by up to 12.5% compared to conventional bricks, with or without thermal insulation, in various climates.
BuildON is a European project that enhances buildings with smart, AI-driven technologies for efficient energy management and decarbonisation. A leaflet introducing the initiative is available for download.
The Eiksveien 116 project in Østerås, Norway, is a sustainable, energy-efficient care home complex featuring eco-friendly materials, geothermal heating, solar panels, and a green roof, designed to minimise its environmental impact while providing high-quality housing.
This study presents a Digital Twin-based system integrating Building Information Modeling (BIM), Internet of Things (IoT), and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to optimise the allocation, management, and lifecycle of relocatable modular buildings, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Craft’s final event will culminate three years of work on local collaborative governance models across European cities, viewed through the New European Bauhaus (NEB) lens.
Residenza I Girasoli in Castenaso, Italy, features energy-efficient, well-insulated buildings with modern HVAC systems, renewable energy sources, and smart technologies, aiming for Plus Energy status while offering limited user customisation.
