Objective An important target of Europe 2020 is climate change and energy sustainability. To reach the ambitious aims, it is necessary to improve the energy performance of buildings in operation. Embodied energy in materials presents a high percentage of the energy spent in the whole life cycle of a building, so new materials are needed. Therefore we will develop within this project a novel material solution for ultra-efficient solar energy harvesting and heat exchange through an active building envelope. We thereby address the two technical applications of windows and facades, into which we will implement LARGE AREA FLUIDIC WINDOWS (LaWin). LaWin represents the vision of large-area microfluidic windows and facade elements which are based on four types of new materials: low-cost thin and strong cover glasses, microstructured rolled glasses of architectural quality, a glass-glass compound comprising microfluidic channels and a heat storage liquid designed for transparency and/or active functionality in facade and window implementation. LaWin devices will be designed to build on existing platforms and geometries used in triple glazing and facade elements to enable rapid market access and acceptance.Expected impacts:- Reduction of embodied energy and CO2 to 0 for window surfaces after four months of using (possible because of using regenerative energy with windows for climatisation of buildings, high insulation)- Reduction of at least 123 000 t CO2 per year for heating (goal: at least 2% of window furnaces in Europe)- Improving thermal insulation figures for window surfaces by at least 20%- Reduction of total costs-Purchase price is higher, but running costs are really low - Demonstration of at least a 10% reduction of the energy spent during the whole life cycle of a building;- strengthen competitiveness for all project partners - Clear and transparent information to facilitate better decision making- High quality and environmentally friendly alternative for the build Fields of science engineering and technologyenvironmental engineeringenergy and fuelsrenewable energysolar energyengineering and technologymechanical engineeringthermodynamic engineeringheat engineeringengineering and technologymaterials engineeringnatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicsgeometrynatural sciencesearth and related environmental sciencesatmospheric sciencesclimatologyclimatic changes Keywords Material development Building envelope Technology development Programme(s) H2020-EU.2.1.5. - INDUSTRIAL LEADERSHIP - Leadership in enabling and industrial technologies - Advanced manufacturing and processing Main Programme H2020-EU.2.1.5.2. - Technologies enabling energy-efficient systems and energy-efficient buildings with a low environmental impact Topic(s) EeB-01-2014 - Materials for building envelope Call for proposal H2020-EeB-2014-2015 See other projects for this call Sub call H2020-EeB-2014 Funding Scheme IA - Innovation action Coordinator FRIEDRICH-SCHILLER-UNIVERSITÄT JENA Net EU contribution € 590 625,00 Address Fürstengraben 1 07743 Jena Germany See on map Region Thüringen Thüringen Jena, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Participants (13) Sort alphabetically Sort by Net EU contribution Expand all Collapse all SCHOTT TECHNICAL GLASS SOLUTIONS GMBH Germany Net EU contribution € 709 187,50 Address Otto schott strasse 13 07745 Jena See on map Region Thüringen Thüringen Jena, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 303 937,50 BAUHAUS-UNIVERSITAET WEIMAR Germany Net EU contribution € 225 000,00 Address Geschwister scholl strasse 8 99423 Weimar See on map Region Thüringen Thüringen Weimar, Kreisfreie Stadt Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Participation in EU R&I programmes Opens in new window HORIZON collaboration network Opens in new window Other funding € 0,00 Ducatt NV Participation ended Belgium Net EU contribution € 406 248,25 Address Industriezone 1050, balendijk 161 B-3920 Lommel See on map Region Vlaams Gewest Prov.
