  1. COOL-Coverings DISSEMINATION AND STANDARDISATION 18th Month Mid-term meeting Università Politecnica delle Marche Ciudad Real, 14th December 2011 NMP4-SL-2010-260132

  2. DISSEMINATION • The main objective of dissemination is to make possible a high impact of all project results • All the dissemination activities have to be performed with respect to the IPRs and exploitable foregrounds have to be protected when disclosing project results • Dissemination manager: UNIVPM will coordinate all the dissemination activities to be performed during the project lifetime Awareness and Dissemination Plan v1 D8.2 :report on dissemination activities

  3. DISSEMINATION • The Awareness and Dissemination Plan has been prepared at Month 12 explaining the dissemination strategy. The following key elements have been defined: • TARGET STAKEHOLDERS • MAIN DISSEMINATION TOOLS • DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES • INDIVIDUAL DISSEMINATION PLAN PER PARTNER

  4. TARGET STAKEHOLDERS • How should they be addressed? • DISSEMINATION TOOLS • DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

  5. DISSEMINATION TOOLS • WEBSITE: • In the first year there have been more than 15000 accesses at the website • Many visitors comes from non EU countries (US, China, Russia)

  6. DISSEMINATION TOOLS • POSTER UNIVPM has prepared a general project poster which can be customized by partners fro specific events (conferences, exhibitions…) • PROJECT POSTER • TECHNICAL POSTER (ECERS XII)

  7. DISSEMINATION TOOLS • PROJECT PRESENTATION PPT presentations provide information on general project overview, background, objectives and first results. project presentation shown at the ECTP-E2BA conference (Warsaw)

  8. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES Dissemination and communication actions have been planned for each project partner. Main activities have been defined in the dissemination plan: • PARTECIPATION TO EVENTS: • CONFERENCES • TRADE FAIRS AND EXHIBITIONS A calendar of suggested events has been included in the Dissemination Plan • PUBLICATIONS • MAGAZINES • PROCEEDING OF CONFERENCES • SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS (PEER REVIEWED) A list of potential targeted journals has been included in the Dissemination Plan • OTHERS • DEMONSTRATOR • STANDARDISATION ACTIVITIES • NEWSLETTER, PRESS RELEASE, PUBLIC DELIVERABLES…

  9. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES Traceability of dissemination activities is guaranteed through the use of Dissemination report to be filled after the participation at a specific event and sent back to UNIVPM

  10. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES • CONFERENCES AND EXHIBITIONS:

  11. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES • CONFERENCES AND EXHIBITIONS: ECER XII conference TECHNICAL POSTER ECTP-E2BA-Erabuild conference PRESENTATION

  13. DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES • PUBLICATIONS: “The Parliament” (“The Research Review” section), 21st November 2011, issue 338 (pag.121) Magazine distributed to many politics and research bodies (MEPS, DGs research...) available on line: http://www.theparliament.com/digimag/issue338

  14. STANDARDISATION • Seminar “Standardisation in Research and Innovation, practical tools for the dissemination and implementation of research results” organized by the Directorate-General for Research and Innovation, Brussels, 10th November 2011. LINK BETWEEN STANDARDISATION AND INNOVATION OBJECTIVE: - EU policies related to standardisation - give a clear understanding on the use of standardisation as a means of exploitation and dissemination for EU projects - provide instruments for the standardisation process Ref: Practical Standardisation Guide for Researchers (Dr. P.Hatto) http://ec.europa.eu/research/industrial_technologies/pdf/practical-standardisation-guide-for-researchers_en.pdf

  15. STANDARDISATION • What is a standard? ‘Document, established by consensus and approved by a recognized body, that provides, for common and repeated use, rules, guidelines or characteristics for activities or their results, aimed at the achievement of the optimum degree of order in a given context’ [ISO/IEC Guide 2:2004, definition 3.2] A standard is a repeatable way ofdoingsomething Standards are VOLUNTARY (unless agreed to in a contract or referred to in a Regulation) and are based on CONSENSUS, not necessarily unanimity.

  16. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? Standards are absolutely critical to our modern way of life: • Internet protocols, • Aircraft and car fuels, • credit cards, • feed and food chain traceability, • Communications… ??

  17. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? • Technical support for regulation • Codified knowledge (State of the art) • Technical basis for procurement (INTEROPERABILITY) • Platform for further innovation • Assuring QUALITY, SAFETY and RELIABILITY of products, processes and services • Dissemination of project results • Standard as means of results exploitation: • first mover advantage • Access to the market

  18. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? Example 1: Common metrics for measuring For a given specimen the SOLAR REFLECTANCE value depends on many parameters: • Geometry of incident and reflected beam (directional, hemispherical…), • Spectral range considered, • Solar Spectral Irradiance… Standardized procedures are necessary to make possible a comparison between products measured in different laboratories and from different people (e.g. to compare cool materials with material existing in the market)

  19. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? Example 2: Exploitation ASTM C1549-02 “Standard Test Method for Determination of Solar Reflectance Near Ambient Temperature Using Portable Solar Reflectometer”: Note:“The sole source of supply of the apparatus known to the committee at this time is Devices & Services Company...” ASTM C1371-04 Standard Test Method for Determination of Emittance of Materials Near Room Temperature Using Portable Emissometers Note: “The sole source of supply of emissometers known to the committee at this time is Devices & Services Co...” only 1 company commercialise this instrument... HUGE ADVANTAGS IN TERMS OF COMPETITIVENESS !!!

  20. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? Standard vs. Patent

  21. STANDARDISATION • Why a standard? Standard vs. Patent

  22. STANDARDISATION • What is needed before starting? PRE-NORMATIVE RESEARCH (PNR): research carried out to establish the validity and reliability of the subject matter to be standardised CO-NORMATIVE RESEARCH (CNR): research necessary to quantify the REPEATIBILITY, REPRODUCIBILITY and UNCERTAINTY of the procedures that are incorporated in the standard For a full standard approval both PNR and CNR have to be completed. In case of “pre-standard” (TS, CWA, IWA…) the published document is the basis for CNR - Analysis of existing standard analysis: - identify existing and conflicting standards - identify blank spots

  23. STANDARDISATION • Which Standard and Standard Organization? Standard can be divided into: • FORMAL STANDARD: Are approved or adopted by one of the National, Regional or International Standard Bodies • INFORMAL STANDARD: Are published by other Standard Development Organization (SDOs) such as ASTM, IEEE, SAE Standards can be: • NORMATIVE: contain requirements to met in order to claims the compliance with the standard • INFORMATIVE: provide information only ( Most standards have both normative and informative elements)

  24. STANDARDISATION • Which Standard and Standard Organization? FORMAL STANDARDS • National: • UNI, BSI, DIN… • Publications: National Standards • European: • CEN: European Committee for Standardisation • Publications: EN, TS, TR and CWA • CENELEC (European Commettee for Electrotechnical Standardisation) and ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institutes) • International: • ISO: International Organization for Standardisation • Publications: IS, TS, TR , PAS and IWA • IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) and ITU (International Telecommunications Union) INFORMAL STANDARDS: ASTM International, IEEE, SAE, SEMI, TAPPI

  25. STANDARDISATION • Which Standard and Standard Organization? In the case of European and International standards, different deliverables can be published depending on the MATURITY and the level of CONSENSUS: • IS/EN : • Highest level of maturity and consensus (preferably unanimity) among the NSBs • Openness (all the interested parties have the right to participate through national delegates) and Transparency (at the initiation phase the project is made public) • Typically it requires 3-4 years from proposal to publication • TS (Technical Specification): • For topics which are still under development. TSs are expected to become full standards • 2-3 years from the submission of a New Work Item Proposal to the publication of TS • IWA and CWA (International /CEN Workshop Agreement): • Developed within the context of a Workshop in which market player and other stakeholders directly participate • They do not go through a national delegation • CWA and IWA are typically developed in a timeframe of 10-12 months

  26. STANDARDISATION • Which Standard and Standard Organization? • CWA s are produced quickly to address specific market requirements in areas which are not the subject of more formal standardization undertaken within Technical Committees, and in this respect might be the ideal route for delivering a standard based on results from a research project • Workshop Agreements have a limited lifespan (three years, with the possibility of one three year extension) • The Workshop Agreement has been widely exploited by CEN (369 CWA published to October 2011) but much less widely by ISO (9 IWA).

  27. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS 2 scenarios for Standardisation in COOL-Coverings CWA from CLUSTERING ACTIVITY (Task 8.3) PRE-NORMATIVE RESEARCH AND COLLABORATION AT INTERNATIONAL LEVEL FOR ISO STANDARDS (Task 5.2) on AGING TESTS

  28. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS • Solar reflectance properties can decrease with time due to weathering conditions and soiling. Many factors have to be taken into account: • SOILING (biological growth, wet and dry dust deposition…) • UV RADIATION • TEMPERATURE • HUMIDITY • Aging tests have to be performed on new materials in order to assure the endurance of new products NB: the initial investment for COOL-Coverings materials will be paid back only if performances are preserved over the time traditional acrylic paint Initial SR ~83% 4 Month SR ~78% (without soiling)

  29. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS NATURAL AGING TEST PERFORMED AT UNIVPM ON TRADITIONAL TILES AND PAINTS SOLAR IRRADIANCE TEMPERATURE • 45 SAMPLES EXPOSED TO NATURAL AGING • 21 GLAZED TILES • (9 TEXTURES), • including ITC tiles • 24 ACRYLIC PAINTS • (7 TEXTURES) RELATIVE HUMIDITY

  30. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS NATURAL AGING TEST PERFORMED AT UNIVPM ON TRADITIONAL TILES AND PAINTS (only atmospheric effects)- 4 MONTHS TILES PAINTS

  31. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS Traditionally ageing tests for COOL materials (Cool roofs associations) last 3 years NOT ACCETTABLE FOR INDUSTRY NECESSITY OF ACCELERATED TESTS (not only UV, Humidity and temperature but also soiling) NO STANDARDS EXIST THAT CORRELATE NATURAL WITH ACCELERATED TESTS

  32. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS • CURRENT BARRIERS FOR ACCELERATED AGING TESTS: There is no physical model neither simulation software which can predict the durability (in terms of reflective properties) of a certain material with in relation to the stress factors (aging agents) Necessity of empirical models and relationship based on statistical analyses performed on large databases: - different materials from different producers - different climates A STANDARD ON ACCELERATED AGEING TESTS REQUIRES A COMBINED ACTION INVOLVING ALL THE RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS ON A LARGE SCALE (COOL ROOF ASSOCIATIONS, COOL MATERIALS PRODUCTORS, STANDARDISATION BODIES…).

  33. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS COOPERATION WITH HEAT ISLAND GROUP (LAWERENCE BERKLEY NATIONAL LABORATORY, DOE , USA, contact person: Hugo Destaillats) http://heatisland.lbl.gov/ The Heat Island Group has a great experience and is active from many years in the field of COOL ROOFs having contacts with many associations and manufacturers. They had a huge database of traditional and cool materials (and countless publication in this field)

  34. STANDARDISATION IN COOL-COVERINGS HEAT ISLAND GROUP Over the past two years, they have been working in a DOE-funded project to develop accelerated aging protocols that can mimic the solar reflectance losses experienced by roofing material (combined action of weathering and soiling) At the moment one of the main objective is to provide a methodology that can facilitate development of novel, better performing cool roofing materials in a shorter time frame than current practice (driven by the 3-year natural exposure testing). same direction as COOL-Coverings THERE ARE GOOD CHANCES THAT THE HEAT ISLAND GROUP WILL DEVELOP ISO STANDARD IN THE NEXT YEARS
