Product/Objective

Framework of demonstration and dissemination of very innovative and cost-effective energy efficiency technologies for the achievement of very low energy new buildings

Project Summary

This framework is based in three pillars:

  • Analysis of suitable energy efficiency technologies (technical and economic viability),
  • Demonstration activity deployed in three new buildings,
  • Dissemination at European Level.

Three new buildings will be used as pilots, deploying in each one a set of very innovative measures, constructive elements for energy optimization, high efficient equipment and advanced energy management. All the above allows to enhance the overall energy efficiency of the building in order to achieve consumption (primary energy) lower than 60 kWh/(m2yr).

Innovation

It is expected an important impact in building sector, in particular in new buildings, in the following four main areas:

  • Energetic: Drastic energy consumption reduction (more than 50 %),
  • Environmental: Significant CO2 emissions reduction (more than 60 %),
  • Building sector business: encouraging a mass market for very low energy new buildings, facilitating understanding of all stakeholders,
  • European policies: contributing to boost the implementation of standards and regulations.

Research project

PreMANI

MANIFATTURA PREDITTIVA: progettazione, sviluppo e implementazione di soluzioni di Digital Manufacturing per la previsione della Qualità e la Manutenzione Intelligente

Il progetto PreMANI ambisce a dimostrare la capacità di penetrazione di tali tecniche in settori applicativi eterogenei, caratterizzati da esigenze molto diverse, facendo leva sugli aspetti metodologici di natura generale.

Research project

RLW Navigator

Remote Laser Welding Navigator

RLW is emerging as a promising joining technology for sheet metal assembly due to benefits on several fronts including reduced processing time, (50-75%) and decreased factory floor footprint (50%), reduced environmental impact through energy use reduction (60%), and providing a flexible process base for future model introduction or product change.

Research project

ForZDM

Integrated Zero Defect Manufacturing Solution for High Value Adding Multi-stage Manufacturing systems

The ForZDM project developed and demonstrated tools to support the rapid implementation of Zero-Defect Manufacturing solutions in industry, and to design more competitive and robust multi-stage manufacturing systems.
