Renovation with automation and optimization of processes and products

Project description

Building renovation through innovation

The renovation sector faces challenges in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and optimising processes. These difficulties span from planning and design to construction and end-of-life management. There is a need for sustainable solutions in integrating technologies like HVAC and renewable energy systems into renovations. The EU-funded RENOMIZE project will introduce solutions across multiple stages of the renovation process. It includes advanced decision support tools, spatiotemporal planning improvements, and a self-positioning system for autonomous placement. The project promises cost savings of over 25 %, alongside time reductions, through automation and enhanced factory processes. With pilot testing inSpain and Switzerland, along with demonstrations in Belgium, Estonia,France, and Switzerland, RENOMIZE ensures broad stakeholder engagement to promote its wider adoption.

Objective

RENOMIZE presents well-selected innovations in the processes and products for the full renovation trajectory from ideation, over delivery, maintenance and end-of life. Building on an impressive experience in the field, the following innovations have been put forward:
Decision support tools for optimisation of building site preparations, integration of balconies and overhangs, and for the integration and selection of HVAC and RES technology;
Optimisation of the process planning using advancements to spatiotemporal planning;
Development of an improved anchoring system and panel-panel connections, optimised for automized non-sequential mounting, de/re-mounting;
Self-positioning system and end-effectors thereon to support autonomous anchor and panel placement;
Phased optimisation of the factory automation for cost reduction and quality improvement.
These innovations will lead to cost savings beyond the aimed 25% and considerable time savings. Elaborate testing for disruptive events is previewed in Switzerland and Spain, while 4 complementary demonstrations will be delivered in Estonia, Switzerland, France, and Belgium.
Stakeholders are engaged from the onset of the project, and wider uptake is actively integrated in RENOMIZEs concept through certification, technical assistance and various capacity building activities.
