•What is the problem/issue being addressed?
A large number of innovative solutions for deep renovation have become available from recent EU-funded research projects. What is urgently needed is to increase the scale and level of adoption through innovative combinations, processes and supporting ICT tools. P2Endure will resolve the main barrier for wide-scale implementation of innovative solutions: the absence of solid empirical evidence that such innovative solutions deliver the expected performance, both energetically and financially. P2Endure will also create the supply-chain infrastructure for large-scale commercial implementation and upscaling of prefab deep renovation solutions.
•Why is it important for society?
The ultimate success of deep renovation can only be proven in the building’s long-term sustainability; and therefore, the energy performance goals of deep renovation are achieved when the building optimally fulfils its functional and user requirements throughout its lifecycle. P2Endure ensures that public and residential buildings are functionally, technically and socio-economically viable at all times –including through transformation of the building’s typology and function at deep renovation.
•What are the overall objectives?
P2Endure mainly aims to provide scalable, adaptable and ready-to-implement innovative PnP prefab solutions for deep renovation of building envelopes and technical systems. The innovative solutions will be complemented with a proof-of-performance, which is based on pilot implementation and monitoring in 11 live demonstration projects representing deep renovation characteristics in all main EU geo-clusters.
P2Endure provides evidence-based innovative solutions for deep renovation that are applicable and replicable for the widest range of building typologies: public buildings, residential buildings, and transformation projects of public and historic buildings into dwellings. P2Endure takes on a progressive principle:
• Build further on credible state-of-the-art solutions of 3D scanning and printing technologies in combination with prefab renovation systems, which are derived from tested results of recent EU and national R&D projects.
• Develop modular processes for deep renovation through BIM-based design, engineering, production and installation for speeding up the implementation of the state-of-the-art solutions.
• Optimise and integrate the state-of-the-art solutions grounded in practical evidence of their performance through real deep renovation cases of public and residential buildings.
• Perform real deep renovation projects at a higher complexity level and with a larger performance impact than typical residential buildings through transformation of obsolete public and historic buildings.
