Periodic Reporting for period 1 - CLIMRES (LEADERSHIP FOR CLIMATE RESILIENT BUILDINGS)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2024-06-01 do 2025-11-30
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.

This section provides a consolidated technical and scientific overview of the activities carried out during the reporting period across the Work Packages. The focus is on methodological development, digital tool design, validation activities, and progress achieved within the pilot sites.
Co-creation & User Needs (WP2):
-Two co-creation cycles engaged 102 stakeholders (municipalities, architects, planners, researchers, engineers, NGOs).
-Collected user requirements, constraints, and renovation priorities across climates.
-Delivered validated use cases aligned with real-world needs and project developments.
Hazards, Indicators & Modelling (WP3):
-Developed building-level vulnerability and risk framework for heatwaves, floods, wildfires, earthquakes.
-Established hazard indicators, scoring logic, and multi-pillar vulnerability model (exposure, sensitivity, adaptive capacity).
-Modeled interconnections between heatwaves and resource stress for multi-stressor simulations.
Data, AI Services, Platform Architecture (WP4):
-Developed the first operational version of the CLIMRES ICT platform (version 1).
-Implemented initial AI-enabled services
-Completed back-end architecture, APIs, and functional integration of early tools to support Wave 1 validation.
Renovation Solutions & Technical Measures (WP4):
-Expanded the catalogue of renovation solutions to 88 architectural interventions and innovative materials, exceeding initial targets.
-Categorised interventions by hazard type, building typology, and expected resilience impact.
-Documented performance characteristics, implementation requirements, and expected improvements for each measure.
-Advanced technical testing and optimization in Spanish and Greek pilot contexts
Demonstration & Testing (WP5):
-Completed preparatory actions: baseline data, hazard mapping, building diagnostics, and intervention selection.
-Started early testing of digital services and methods across three pilot sites.
-Coordinated workflows to streamline on-site execution.

The KERs provide a structured view of how CLIMRES is progressing toward its innovation outcomes, from co-creation and vulnerability assessment frameworks to climate-resilient design solutions, data federation services, decision-support tools, operational resilience systems, and early steps towards business modelling.
The following subsections outline the main achievements up to Month 18 for each KER:
KER1 - Stakeholder engagement strategy and multistakeholder knowledge exchange for climate resilient buildings
By Month 18, 102 stakeholders (102%) participated 2 rounds of co-creation sessions for each pilot.
16 use cases (320%) were co-designed with stakeholders, exceeding the initial target that was 5. The use cases cover the design, renovation, monitoring at building scale and analysis, forecast and resilience to climate change at city/neighbourhood scale
KER 2 - Framework for assessment & monitoring of climate resilient buildings (s.1)
In RP1 4 hazards (80%) have been identified considering the vulnerability and risk analysis methodology and 3 interlinkages (60%) that concern the impact assessment methodology.
KER 3 - CLIMRES Hub of solutions & innovative design and materials for Climate Resilient Buildings (s.2)
The first set of architectural adaptation measures has been delivered, covering all hazards across the pilot sites: urban heat and heatwaves in Barcelona (LSP1), wildfire and seismic risks in Athens (LSP2), floods in Ljubljana and Senigallia (LSP3), and a multi-hazard replication case in Compiègne (RM).
KER 4 - Data federation, tailored to Climate resilient buildings (s.3.1); KER 5 - CLIMRES service for strategic resilience (Building ecosystem Tool) (s.3.2) ; KER 6 - CLIMRES services for tactical resilience, DSS for a climate resilience building stock to heat waves (s3.3.a) DSS for a climate resilience building stock to floods (s3.3.b) DSS for a resilience building stock to earthquakes (s3.3.c) DSS for a building resilience and protection to fires in the wildland and urban areas (s3.3.d) ; KER 7- CLIMRES service for operational resilience (s3.4)
The initial version of all CLIMRES services was developed during the first reporting period. The service development is structured in three phases: the first phase has been completed, and the second phase is currently ongoing with continuous development.
KER 8 - Best Practices from CLIMRES Large Scale Pilot Demonstrations
This activity is still at a very early stage; therefore, by Month 18, no concrete results for the best practices had been achieved. The best practices will be defined at a later stage.
KER 9 - CLIMRES capacity building programme & policy recommendations
The tasks related to KER9 start at M22; therefore, there are no key achievements or progress to report at this stage.
KER 10 - Viable business models
The partners provided their individual exploitation plans. By M18, the initial business model canvas for each KER had been developed, along with an exploitation roadmap extending up to five years after the end of the project.
