INdustrialised and PErsonalised Renovation for Sustainable sOcieties

Project description

Renovation of buildings for a green future

Renovation of existing buildings is essential for transitioning into a green economy and society. Unfortunately, costs and logistics make this renovation difficult and inefficient with a high impact on residents. The EU-funded INPERSO project offers a solution with different technological developments. On the one hand, advanced prefabricated walls and 3D printing significantly reduces waste, costs and construction time while increasing quality. On the other, highly efficient heating and ventilation are combined with innovative renewable energy solutions to foster resource efficiency during building life. All these solutions are supported by digital technologies to optimise data flow and use. The result is greener, energy-efficient renovation of buildings at affordable prices.

Objective

INPERSO is a holistic deep renovation programme addressing the building’s entire lifecycle and combining industrialisation and personalisation. The project will deliver inclusive, affordable, efficient, and sustainable renovation, adaptable to various climate zones and building typologies, but focused on residential and heritage buildings.

Aiming to deliver a near-market solution, INPERSO is comprised of five highly exploitable, integrated results (IRs) plus an underlying, human-centric methodology for low-carbon renovation. New technological components leveraging the advantages of prefabrication, pre-integration and robotic 3D printing will drastically reduce the time (>50%) and costs (>25%) of construction, and increase resource efficiency, productivity and quality, coupled with waste reduction (>40%).

The project highlights the advantages of digital solutions, by integrating scan-to-BIM, AI, AR and ML into the established RE Suite platform, creating a solid foundation for harmonising information flows and addressing the fragmentation challenges of the sector. These resources will also be used to optimise building energy performance and indoor environment quality, as well as improving the energy footprint of the renovation process, in addition to improving working conditions and safety.

INPERSO will be demonstrated in Spain, Netherlands, and Greece, forming energy communities and promoting sustainable energy use. Ambitious upscaling and replication plans, supported by green financing and six business models, will be implemented to generate local and EU-wide impacts.

The Consortium consists of 8 research organisations, 8 SMEs, 2 large enterprises and 3 NPOs, privately investing €4.7M in the project.
