This project focuses on developing sustainable building components with significantly lower embodied energy. Key initiatives include SUS-CON, which creates energy-efficient concrete using all-waste materials; LEEMA, which offers novel insulation materials; and BIO-BUILD, which focuses on high-performance biocomposite building materials. The objectives are to reduce embodied energy by 50% compared to 2005 levels, lower costs by 15%, enhance thermal and acoustic properties, and ensure improved durability while adhering to sustainability principles. A fully operational component will be delivered by project completion.

EeB-NMP.2011-1 Materials for new energy efficient building components with reduced embodied energy
PROJECTS: SUS-CON - “Sustainable, Innovative and Energy-Efficient Concrete, based on the Integration of All-Waste Materials” LEEMA - Low embodied energy advanced (novel) insulation materials and insulating masonry components for energy efficient buildings BIO-BUILD - High Performance, Economical and Sustainable Biocomposite Building Materials
S/T goals of the supported area • New multifunctional materials with • Lower embodied energy • Improved thermal and acoustic properties • Improved durability • Understanding and optimisation of material combinations • Respect of sustainability principles • Delivery of at least one fully operational component at the end of the project
Expected impact of the supported area • Reduction by at least 50% of the embodied energy at component level compared to the 2005 values; • Reduction by at least 15% of the total costs compared to existing solutions; • The proposers should demonstrate and quantify the potential European impact on energy-efficiency at building level; • Improved durability of the components resulting in less frequent replacement, so that the impact of embodied energy will be lower over the lifetime of the building; • Contribution to achieving EU policies.
