Project description
Renovating our way to carbon neutrality
Across the EU, reducing operational carbon emissions from buildings is paramount. However, achieving energy efficiency through building renovations hinges on accurate structural and thermal data, currently lacking for much of the EU building stock. Existing methods to gather this data are slow, labour-intensive and prone to errors, discouraging timely and comprehensive renovations. Funded by the European Innovation Council, the LumoGen1 project aims to address this challenge. To that end, it will streamline and accelerate the digitisation of existing buildings using innovative handheld technology and proprietary algorithms. The project is designed to catalyse the renovation process, aligning with the EU’s ambitious renovation wave strategy and its overarching goal of carbon neutrality. Ultimately, LumoGen1 aims to accelerate industry adoption.
Objective
Energy-efficient building renovations are crucial for reducing the operational carbon emissions of EU building stock, thereby aligning with the EU’s Renovation Wave strategy and carbon-neutrality goal. Accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date data on the buildings’ structural and thermal aspects are required for effective energy-efficient renovation planning, which do not exist for most of the EU buildings. Further, existing methods to collect such data are laborious, slow, and prone to human error, especially for large buildings, discouraging building owners and industry professionals from pursuing immediate improvements. We have developed a patented easy-to-use handheld measurement device and proprietary
algorithm to automatically digitise buildings’ interiors in record time. With the EIC we can accelerate the commercialisation of our enabling technology for industry professionals expediting buildings’ renovation process, while significantly contributing to the EU Renovation wave.
