Deadline: 12-Jan-22
The European Commission (EC) is inviting proposals for the Large-scale rollout of industrialised deep renovation solutions to support the implementation of the EU Renovation Wave strategy.
Industrial approaches to deep renovation have been shown to result in many benefits including faster, higher quality construction; less disruption to building occupants; less waste and fewer mistakes; reduced costs including over the building’s life cycle; better integration of design teams, decision makers, end users and other stakeholders. The objective is to accelerate the rate and depth of energy renovation, and to deliver higher quality renovations with enhanced certainty of energy savings, and a reduced performance gap through industrialised solutions.
In line with the Renovation Wave strategy, proposals should look at how to stimulate the volume and depth of building renovation through industrialised solutions with reduced inconvenience for occupants. Proposals could address different types of buildings, including as part of larger approaches, e.g. at district level. Furthermore, proposals should build on the lessons learnt from previous research and innovation projects that demonstrated innovative industrialised approaches for deep renovation of buildings. Such innovations have included standardised prefabrication and off-site construction, digital tools such as Building Information Modelling and Augmented Reality, compact and high quality plug & play technical building systems suitable for retrofitting.
Funding Information
- Grants available up to EUR EUR 6 000 000.
Expected Impact
- Cost optimal renovations delivered with a performance guarantee for the end user
- Reduction of time for renovation works on the building site compared with standard practice
- Demonstration of the effectiveness and replicability of the proposed solutions to lead to an increased rate of renovation
- Primary energy savings/Renewable energy generation triggered by the project
- Investments in sustainable energy triggered by the project
- Reduction of the greenhouse gases emissions and/or air pollutants triggered by the project
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible, the applicants (beneficiaries and affiliated entities) must:
- be legal entities (public or private bodies)
- be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)
- non-EU countries: EEA countries and countries associated to the LIFE Programme (participating countries) or countries which are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before grant signature
- the coordinator must be established in an eligible country.
