From fungal mycelium, recycled materials and new super‑insulating technologies to multifunctional roof and façade solutions with integrated energy technologies. Get up close to the solutions of the future for low‑carbon energy renovation at this afternoon seminar - held in-person at the Danish Technological Institute in Denmark.
Energy renovation is no longer just about improving energy performance. The focus is now also on using low‑carbon materials, including bio‑based and recycled materials, as well as new super‑insulating technologies.
At the same time, new EU building directives require an acceleration of energy renovation in Europe’s many older buildings. As a result, “plug‑and‑play” solutions with integrated energy technologies are being developed that are quick and easy to install.
This development raises new questions: How do we manage moisture, durability and fire safety when moving from traditional to bio‑based and recycled materials? How do we ensure that the solutions are robust enough for a more extreme future climate? Is the industry – and are building owners – ready, and how do we make it an attractive choice?
At this afternoon seminar, you can explore new materials, technologies and systems for energy renovation that the Danish Technological Institute helps develop and test as part of EASI ZERo an two other EU‑funded sister projects: AEGIR and RESKIN.
The afternoon offers expert presentations, discussions and a unique opportunity to experience the Danish Technological Institute’s test facilities, including mock‑ups of solutions and technologies from the three innovation projects, as well as a presentation of the Institute’s new climate chamber, where for example roof and façade solutions can be exposed to simulated extreme weather and indoor climate conditions to quickly reveal weaknesses and document durability.
This event is aimed at professionals working with consultancy, design, construction or innovation in renovation and sustainable building – and who want to stay up to date on new solutions and technical experience within energy renovation.
