Expected Outcome:
Project results are expected to contribute to all of the following expected outcomes:
- Streamlining resource-efficient nearly zero-energy performance renovation processes.
- Renovations with reduction of at least 30 % waste, 25% cost, and 30% work time (to 1-2 days per dwelling/building unit), compared to current deep renovation processes.
- Reduced energy performance gap between as-built and as-designed (difference between theoretical and measured performance), and higher construction quality.
- Innovative, tailored business models for deep renovation, generating economies of scale and contributing to an increased rate of renovation.
- Improved comfort, Indoor Air Quality and Indoor Environmental Quality.
In line with the Renovation Wave and in order to meet long-term climate and energy targets, more action is needed to increase the rate and depth of building renovation. Several recent projects and calls have focused on prefabrication for deep renovation, but more work is needed to develop innovative, seamless workflows from design to off-site prefabrication, to installation, construction on-site, maintenance and future dismantling, reuse and recycling of prefabricated elements, duly considering life cycle performance, sustainability, and the potential to use the buildings as carbon sinks.
Proposals are expected to address all of the following:
- Investigate innovative approaches for industrialised deep circular renovation, covering the whole workflow from design through to off-site
