Measuring Envelope products and systems contributing to next generation of healthy nearly Zero Energy Buildings

Project description

A supporting platform to develop innovative envelopes for low-carbon healthy buildings

The building sector is in continuous transformation to fulfil the goals for an emission-free future in Europe. To meet these environmental standards, the construction industry needs a comprehensive supporting framework. The EU-funded MEZeroE project will introduce an open innovation ecosystem for the development of ground-based solutions focused on carbon neutrality and a healthy indoor environment. MEZeroE will focus on developing nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) enabler envelope technology solutions, transferring know-how, pairing testing needs with existing facilities, providing monitoring in living labs, and standardising cutting-edge solutions coming from SMEs and larger industries.

Objective

MEZeroE is an EU distributed open innovation ecosystem for: (i) developing nZEB Enabler Envelope technology solutions ; (ii) transferring knowledge; (iii) matching testing needs with existing facilities; (iv) providing monitoring in living labs and; (v) standardizing cutting-edge solutions coming from SMEs and larger industries, to foster inclusive change in the building sector, being accessible via a single-entry point to all users. MEZeroE allows the development of ground-based solutions focused on carbon neutrality and healthy indoor environment, validated with advanced assessment methods and services, recognized protocols and long-term vision to embrace industry 4.0 trends, rapid decision making and customer-centric requirements. MEZeroE accompanies enterprises in adopting the open innovation approach comprising discovery (phase 1), empowering (phase 2), and exploiting (phase 3).
MEZeroE will be accessed via a single-entry point web-based multi-side virtual marketplace, including 9 Pilot Measurement & Verification Lines (PM&VL) and 3 Open Innovation Services (OIS) covering training, business model development, systematic IP and knowledge management. MEzeroE will fast-track prototypes to the market as fully characterized products.
MEZeroE virtual marketplace provides structured knowledge to different stakeholders with a pragmatic and well-grounded mid to long-term ambition of developing and consolidating a trusted expertise network, to be active and self-sustaining well beyond the project timeline.
Based on synergies among partners, existing channels and a dedicated marketing strategy MEZeroE will exploit 3 revenue lines to ensure a 4x leverage factor vs. EU contribution. These revenue streams include: (I) memberships (benefit of web-based platform manager); (ii) consultancy for innovation and IPR protection (benefit of OIS developers) and (iii) incremental revenues of industrial partners (benefit of users) thanks to product transferred to market.
