Industrialisation of house renovations towards energy-neutral

Closed

The NSR contains 22 million houses built in 1950-1985 that cause 79 Mton CO2 emissions annually. Current deep retrofit home renovations are carried out on a limited-scale production and only applied in small projects with two consequences:Renovation costs are way too highPace of renovation is far too lowMass uptake of home renovations towards energy-neutral in the NSR need to meet EU energy and climate objectives. The building sector in Europe is not creating the necessary production facilities. The INDU-ZERO solution for this is to develop a blueprint for a production facility, based on Smart Industry and Circular Economy, that can produce NSR wide suitable renovation packages at a high volume (15.000 units/year) at low cost (50% of current price).This blueprint and the project adoption activities together, will lead investors and governments to commence the needed factory development. This and the 50% cost reduction in renovation packages will lead to a mass market uptake of home renovation packages towards energy-neutral and will ultimately reduce the environmental footprint of the NSR significantly and meet the EU energy and climate objectives.The NSR building sector will be boosted by opening the market for deep retrofit renovation packages worth €880 billion.The consortium consists of industry, government and knowledge institutes. This transnational collaboration is needed to combine all necessary knowledge/experience and to guarantee adoption of the project results.
