META-BUILD
Duration: 1/10/2023– 31/03/2027
Powering the METAmorphosos of BUILDings towards a decarbonised and sustainable energy system
META-BUILD vision is to accelerate the electrification of buildings’ thermal energy demand by promoting the adoption of low carbon technologies such as heat pumps while integrating renewable energy sources (RES) like photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems, storage (second life batteries) and enhancing the Buildings Digitalisation and Intelligence. Social acceptance and strict adherence to energy efficiency measures will be ensured to promote a sustainable, efficient energy use and an affordable pathway to decarbonise the building-sector heating. A holistic approach addresses challenges throughout the building life cycle, including product manufacturing, energy solution design and engineering, construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance. The project’s focus extends across 6 diverse Front Runners strategically identified in different countries and climate zones (Austria, Croatia, France, Greece, Italy and Spain) and 7 additional Replication Multipliers all over Europe (Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Poland and Spain). This strategy will ensure not only the future replicability of the new technologies but also accelerate their adoption in the broader market. The project consortium gathers 38 partners from 13 countries. The project is coordinated by ICCS from Greece. The polish partners in the project are FASADA and Miasto Gdynia. The projectisco-funded by Horizon Europe.
