  3. Challenges in theConstructionSector • Highly fragmented sector • Low innovation dynamics • Flat learning curve • Focus in R&D on materials and systems,hardly ever on integration and user behavior

  4. ? 2006 Forum Chriesbach Redefinition of the state ofthe art in energyconsumption and water use User dominated(working units) Static 2010 self Autonomous living andworking unit Research dominated(1 working and livingunit) Mobile

  5. Vision NEST: Center for Sustainable Construction Science and Engineering Large scale research backbone, a kind of inverse Lab that enables: • Holistic research: materials  components  systems  users (incl. living and working environment, e.g. guest house) • Provides real life conditions (scale, environment, users) • Dynamic, adaptable, flexible and modular • Attractor for national and international partners from academia and industry Benefits: • Boosting innovative edge of (Swiss) construction industry • Technology Transfer Platform • Development and demonstration of new solutions for local and global challenges in the built environment with clients

  6. Design byGramazio&Kohler, Zurich

  7. Experimentalarea: 611 m2 per floor

  8. A Holistic and Sustainable Approach

  10. Operation of NEST • Clustering of rooms in order to address specific research topics (energy, building envelope, technical water use, …) • International calls for projects for each cluster for partners from academia and industry • Student projects, PhD’s • Regular conferences, seminars and exhibition days related to advanced building technologies and innovation in the construction sector

  11. Finances (construction plus 5y operation) Cost Backbone 15 Mio First generation 7.5 Mioof experiments (1.5 Mio per floor) Running costs (5 y) 5 Mio(1 Mio per year) Total: 27.5 Mio Sourcing Own contribution 5Mio Empa 4 Mio Eawag 1 Mio ETH Domain 3 Mio Sponsors 19.5 Mio(1 main sponsor plusseveral medium sponsors) Total 27.5 Mio

  12. Opportunitiesfor Sponsors • High national and international visibility • Being part of a unique research and technology development facility • Repeated international calls for projects • Nest Website with information on all ongoing projects with special area for sponsors (similar to Rolex Learning Center) • Use of Nest for own and customer events • Platform for collaboration with partners and clients from academia and industry in a highly innovative surrounding

  13. Industrial ContactsSponsoring and/or Projects • Holcim • Siemens Building Technologies • Geberit • BASF • Glas Troesch • 3A Composites • Sacac • Implenia • Priora • Karl Steiner AG • Strabag • Belimo • EgoKiefer • Sika • Hilti • Velux • Zehnder Group Presentationandverypositive Feedback
