The EU-funded CRACK-IT project aims to develop numerical crack simulation and identification techniques for stone masonry structures that can be used in professional practice. To achieve this, a crack detection tool will be developed, allowing for the crack documentation of damaged masonry structures. The project's work will also enable the assessment of the seismic safety of these buildings.
Futurebuild is about building a better future for the built environment. They provide the stage for inspiring ideas, innovative solutions & knowledge sharing to drive sustainable construction and help them reach their goal of net zero.
How can the Pay-for-Performance (P4P) model contribute to increasing energy efficiency rates and investments in the European Union? Will energy savings be seen as a resource? How will the implementation of energy retrofitting projects positively impact different groups of stakeholders? These and other topics were discussed on this series of Capacity Building Events, which were organised by SENSEI Consortium in these months. The first session took place the 20th June. Watch it here.
The EU-funded I-NERGY project will work to evolve, scale up and demonstrate innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a service energy analytics applications and digital twin services. These will be validated along pilots that span over the full energy value chain, ranging from optimised management of grid and non-grid renewable energy systems assets to improved efficiency and reliability of electricity networks’ operation.
The EU-funded EQUBUILD project presents novel architectural design strategies for enhancing societal equality in cities: an interdisciplinary case study approach to Swedish public buildings.
This report provides some insights into Renewable Heating and Colling (RHC) research & innovation. It indicates a clear trend towards cross-cutting technologies, sector coupling, and integrated or hybrid systems, as well as a greater inclusion of and cooperation with other renewable technologies.
