Abstract

iclimabuilt project aims to form a cross-domain business ecosystem combining the capabilities of different experts, building the connection between suppliers and users, based on the cooperation within interdisciplinary entities to support new product development/upscaling and testing, satisfy customer needs based on a case-by-case assessment of the underlying barriers of each technology, and eventually incorporate the next round of innovations in building envelope materials and technical systems. iclimabuilt will do so with the aim to accelerate the development of additional leading-edge technology by focusing on: • materials development (for improved thermal and functional performance of building envelope solutions); • design and assembly of technical systems (fully customizable, flexible, modular and de-mountable aesthetic designs); • monitoring and characterization strategies to support decision-making (fully monitored living labs and non-residential nZEBs); • dissemination and exploitation activities (increased market and societal acceptance of validated products through the testbed); • refined and expedited access to financing solutions to reinforce the competitiveness and extroversion of SMEs.
