Short description:
The strategic goal of the project was to develop eco-innovative material and construction solutions for modern housing construction, which contribute to improving the quality of the internal environment parameters in the building, and at the same time are solutions that ensure lower energy consumption of the building. Modern society is becoming more and more aware of issues related to caring for the natural environment and also expects appropriate comfort of building use. Meeting both expectations and requirements should not be just a compromise, but these goals should complement each other.
The result of the project was the development and creation of a prototype of internal and external partitions that would be used both in newly constructed buildings and those undergoing modernization. Documentation was developed, which allowed work to begin on the standardization of new products. Moreover, as a result of the Project, publicly available presentations were created to interest the construction sector in the use of new material and construction solutions. The project contributed to establishing cooperation between the project partners in the field of research and innovation, taking into account not only solving technological problems, but also aimed at supporting them through harmonized policies at European, national and regional level and to educate users aware of new business models.
