Climate Resilient Renovation to Achieve Future-proof Buildings

The project is strictly focused on producing new knowledge with high reliability potential to improve the durability, performance, and resilience of the renovated buildings. The project will contribute to the new EPBD objective of decarbonized building stock and CPR requirement on sustainable use of natural resources (reuse, durability, envir. friendly materials) so that renovated buildings will be future-proof. It will be achieved by: • identification of the vulnerability of buildings and development of degradation models of building envelopes in typical semi-boreal climatic hazards • development of renovation solutions to ensure the durability and performance of building envelope structures and/or with biobased materials in the renovation of high-energy-efficient/zero emission buildings • evaluation of the durability and heat loss of building envelope structures under conditions of climate change • pursuing cost-effectiveness and emissions reduction • delivering decision support solutions
