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 (HPs) while integrating renewable energy sources (RES) like photovoltaic-thermal (PVT) systems, storage (second life batteries) and enhancing the Buildings Digitalisation and Intelligence (BDI).
Under the coordination of ICCS , META-BUILD will pioneer through-out 4 years of implementation highly cost-effective solutions validated at Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) 6-8 and it will optimise efficiency through the generation of 3D models of buildings, monitored by AI to track performance. 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) upon successful validation. This strategy will ensure not only the future replicability of the new technologies but also accelerate their adoption in the broader market.
In this context, a holistic approach will address challenges throughout the building life cycle, including product manufacturing, energy solution design and engineering, construction, renovation, operation, and maintenance. By addressing challenges throughout the building life cycle, META-BUILD seeks to engage all stakeholders along the entire chain and contribute significantly to shape the future landscape of energy-efficient building practices?
