LEADERSHIP FOR CLIMATE RESILIENT BUILDINGS

Project description

Climate-resilient building solutions for the Mediterranean

The broader Mediterranean region, in particular, demonstrates the devastating consequences of climate-related disruptions. To promote leadership in climate-resilient buildings, the EU-funded CLIMRES project aims to identify and categorise building vulnerabilities, estimate their impact on the urban environment, and develop methodologies and tools for assessment and increased resilience. It includes creating an inventory of measures for building materials and designs to mitigate climate risks, as well as a decision support toolkit for strategic, tactical, and operational decision-making. These solutions will be tested in large-scale pilots in Greece, Italy, Slovenia, and Spain to assess their effectiveness against heatwaves, extreme flooding, fires, and earthquakes, with a multi-hazard replication pilot that will be conducted in France.

Objective

Europe has witnessed a significant rise in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and especially the broader Mediterranean region showcases the devastating consequences of climate-related disruptions. CLIMRES aims to foster a Leadership foEurope has witnessed a significant rise in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events, and especially the broader Mediterranean region showcases the devastating consequences of climate-related disruptions. Unseasonably warm temperatures during the winter months are increasingly becoming a pattern, disrupting traditional weather patterns and ecosystems. CLIMRES aims to foster a Leadership for Climate Resilient Buildings, by addressing the identification and systematic categorisation of buildings vulnerabilities and estimating their impact in the buildings' ecosystem considering the interlinkages within the urban context. The project will deliver vulnerability assessment and impact evaluation methodologies along with an inventory hub of measures for building materials and design against climate risks and a decision support toolkit addressing three levels of decision making at strategic, tactical and operational levels. CLIMRES solutions will be tested in 3 large scale pilots in Spain, Greece, Italy and Slovenia evaluating their efficacy against heatwaves, extreme flooding, fires and earthquakes and one multi-hazard replication multiplier pilot in France. The experiences and lessons learnt from the extensive pilot evaluation will consult the replication roadmap of the project as well as a capacity building programme that will train the next frontier leaders for climate resilient buildings. Overall, the CLIMRES Leadership will provide valuable insights and guidance for building owners, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in building climate resilience and sustainable development, through the co-creation, development, deployment and demonstration at TRL 6-8 highly cost-effective and replicable solutions.
