This overview presents the progress achieved during the first reporting period of the CLIMRES project, focusing on the advancement of key objectives related to climate‑resilient buildings. The project aims to develop, test, and validate an integrated framework that strengthens the resilience of the built environment against multiple climate‑related hazards through stakeholder engagement, advanced assessment methodologies, architectural innovations, and digital tools.
O1 – Stakeholder Engagement: 102 stakeholders from municipalities, academia, architecture, planning, and NGOs contributed via two co‑creation workshops, ensuring real-world needs, constraints, and regulatory contexts were incorporated (D2.1 D2.2).
O2 – Vulnerability & Risk Methodology: Developed a building-level framework covering heatwaves, floods, wildfires, and earthquakes with hazard-specific indicators, exposure parameters, and pillar-based vulnerability models. Multi-stressor simulations assessed cascading effects on energy, water, and waste (D3.1).
O3 – Architectural Interventions & Materials: Catalogue of 88 resilience measures, including architectural modifications and innovative materials, tested in Spanish and Greek pilots, supports technical planning and decision-making (D5.2).
O4 – ICT Platform & AI Tools: Delivered ICT platform v1 and AI services for vulnerability assessment and intervention planning, transitioning to more functional versions in Wave 2 (D4.1 D4.2).
O5 – Testing & Validation: Renovation measures and digital services are being tested in three pilot sites; full validation is planned by Month 36 to ensure practical effectiveness.
O6 – Replication & Capacity Building: Planned outputs include “50 CLIMRES Leaders,” one policy brief, and contributions to two standardisation guidelines; work starts Month 22.
O7 – Dissemination & Exploitation: Strategy updated at Month 18 (D7.3) with public outreach, partner communication, and IPR/exploitation planning to ensure visibility, engagement, and long-term impact.
