Objective

The aim of this project is to demonstrate the use of steel-based products, especially modular units, in the renovation of existing concrete and masonry buildings. Aspects to be examined include economic, technical, social and environmental. Objectives will be achieved through documented experimental projects, dissemination material and presentation at technical exhibitions. Work will concentrate on the renovation of three multi-storey residential buildings, two in Finland and one in the UK. Final results will be presented as guidelines, models and forms by which advanced steel-based products and concepts can be used most competitively in such projects.
