PLUG-AND-USE RENOVATION WITH ADAPTABLE
LIGHTWEIGHT SYSTEMS

 
 

FUNDING PROGRAMME AND AREA

H2020-EU.2.1.5.2. - Industrialisation of building envelope kits for the renovation market (IA)

 

DURATION

Starting date - October 01, 2020
End date - September 30, 2024

 

OUR ROLE

Dissemination, commun,ication and training leader

 

COORDINATOR

NATIONAL TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY OF ATHENS - NTUA

 

OBJECTIVES

  • Heat losses through the envelope will be minimized through improved insulation of the façade components, reaching U-Values of less than 0.23 W/m2K; Building primary energy consumption will be less than 60 kWh/m2 , achieved via the optimal design and operation of heating, cooling, ventilation, storage and harvesting components, and the increased share of renewable energy.

  • cca 58% reduction in renovation costs will be achieved through offsite prefabrication, lean manufacturing and construction interactively supported by the BIM based platform and Decision Support Tool.

  • PLURAL will achieve at least 50% reduction in the time required for deep renovation of e.g. multi-family blocks mainly by reducing the time to design/engineering, procurement, logictics, fabrication and site preparation from avg. 5-7 months to 2-4 months. The BIM based platform and the DST will facilitate monitoring the production time of the PnU kits, which will be realized in parallel with the site preparation, allowing to complete the on-site renovation including installation within 3-4 months.

  • Aiming at CO2 emissions 15% less than the current average and 70% material recyclability.

  • System combinations will allow easy adaptation of the PnU kits to be developed and validated as part of the project to various residential building typologies in all EU climatic zones.

 

DEMONSTRATIONS

The PLURAL concept will be integrated at three different real demo building sites, located in Greece, Spain and the Czech Republic, featuring different climate conditions and heating/cooling needs and user requirements.

PLURAL also includes three virtual building demos for simulating and validating the performance and operation of the solutions
