Product/Objective

Framework of demonstration and dissemination of very innovative and cost-effective energy efficiency technologies for the achievement of very low energy new buildings

Project Summary

This framework is based in three pillars:

  • Analysis of suitable energy efficiency technologies (technical and economic viability),
  • Demonstration activity deployed in three new buildings,
  • Dissemination at European Level.

Three new buildings will be used as pilots, deploying in each one a set of very innovative measures, constructive elements for energy optimization, high efficient equipment and advanced energy management. All the above allows to enhance the overall energy efficiency of the building in order to achieve consumption (primary energy) lower than 60 kWh/(m2yr).

Innovation

It is expected an important impact in building sector, in particular in new buildings, in the following four main areas:

  • Energetic: Drastic energy consumption reduction (more than 50 %),
  • Environmental: Significant CO2 emissions reduction (more than 60 %),
  • Building sector business: encouraging a mass market for very low energy new buildings, facilitating understanding of all stakeholders,
  • European policies: contributing to boost the implementation of standards and regulations.

Research project

SPACE

Scalable Parallel Astrophysical Codes for Exascale

The main specific objective of SPACE is to enable the most widely used European A&C HPC codes (which are also among the most widely used worldwide) to efficiently and effectively exploit the pre-exascale systems funded by EuroHPC Joint Undertaking and available at the end of 2022, and to prepare them for the transition to exascale and beyond.

Research project

INFOS

INternationalisation of Veneto FOundry by networked Strategies

The project supports some of the companies within the SINFONET network in using high value services, assistance, orientation, coaching, information, and export promotion to promote not only their individual companies but also the overall foundry supply chain.

Research project

REM

Recover of Energy from fluid Mechanics for internet of things and remote sensing

Recovery of Mechanical Energy from fluids to feed and Internet of Things (IoT) node that monitors diesel-engine exhaust gases.
