General information

Short Summary
The Spanish company is leading a proposal (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D4-01-01), focusing on low-disruptive renovation using integrated prefabricated solutions for energy-efficient buildings. The objective is to develop prefabricated skins with quick, easy-to-apply modules to boost European building stock renovation. Partners sought: 1) Specialists in energy building renovations with prefabricated modules. 2) Providers of renewable energy storage solutions for buildings. Deadline: April 18, 2024
Full Description
The EU call Low-disruptive renovation processes using integration of prefabricated solutions for energy-efficient buildings (HORIZON-CL5-2024-D4-01-01) aims to develop low-disruptive renovation processes, using prefabricated modules that are quick and easy to apply can play an important role in increasing the renovation rate of the European building stock. Renovation processes should cover the whole workflow from design to offsite manufacture, installation, compliance checking on site and end strategies for maintenance, operation and end of life.
To address this subject and submit a competitive proposal for the call, the Spanish construction company has forged a consortium with several European partners.

The proposal aims to:

-Develop streamlined processes for deep energy-efficient renovation to at least NZEB performance levels using prefabricated modules.
-Use relevant available technologies to reduce quality gaps between the off-site manufacturing and on-site deployment of prefabricated modules.
-Develop processes for seamless integration of prefabricated solutions into a variety of existing constructions (e.g. various existing wall materials, presence of balconies and overhangs, existing piping in the way etc.).
-Ensure the processes minimize the disturbance for building owners, tenants and users, through a considerable time reduction of on-site construction activities, reduced impact in terms of the unavailability of the building and its main functionalities, and a minimal impact on occupancy comfort during the renovation
process.
-Include at least three demonstrations covering different building categories (residential or tertiary) and various building typologies, such as single or multi-storey.
-Demonstrate less-disruptive retrofitting processes that are more attractive and more cost-effective for building owners, tenants and users.

Expected outcome:

-Reduction of on-site construction activities to 1-2 days per dwelling/building unit.
-Cost reduction of at least 25% compared to conventional renovation processes.
-Significant reduction of dust, noise and waste on the construction site compared to conventional renovation processes.
-Significant reduction in occupant disturbance during the renovation.
-Improved levels of occupancy comfort (e.g. Indoor Air Quality and Indoor Environmental Quality) after renovation.
-Reduction of negative impacts of renovation on biodiversity, considering adaptability as well (e.g. to climate change, different use, evolving societal needs, etc.) and resilience of buildings to disruptive events.

Specific topic conditions:

-TRL 6-8 by the end of the project.
-Efficient, sustainable and inclusive energy use, targeting the energy demand side, notably a more efficient use of energy as regards buildings and industry.
-Use cases: three demonstrations (residential or tertiary) and various building typologies.

The company is urgently looking for two kind of partner to complete the consortium:

1) Providing solutions for energy building renovations using prefabricated modules that are quick and easy to apply (roof, façade, walls indoor, floor, facilities).
2) Providing renewable energy storage solutions for buildings
Preferred partners are from France, Germany or any other European country.

-Official deadline for the call: 18 April 2024

-Deadline for the EoIs (Expression of Interest): 14 April 2024
