What is the Innovative pathways for low carbon and climate resilient building stock and built environment (Built4People Partnership) Call?
Expected Outcomes
• Measurable increase in the number of relevant value chain actors applying such planning methods, procedures and building solutions for the benefit of citizens.
• Quantified pathways demonstrating improved whole life carbon performance of buildings and the built environment.
Scope Requirements
• Validate these planning methods, procedures and solution sets in a relevant environment in at least three countries with different climatic conditions and building stock characteristics.
• Ensure at least two of the validation cases are relevant for renovation.
• Investigate and apply innovative tools and methods which facilitate adaptation of the building stock to changing user needs, while positively contributing to occupants’ comfort and health.
• Propose and apply a methodology for assessing the effectiveness of the developed decarbonisation and climate resilience pathways, including calculation of whole life carbon reduction compared to a “business as usual” scenario.
• Ensure the active involvement of all relevant public and private stakeholders across the whole renovation and construction value chain, including municipalities, citizens (including vulnerable groups), civil society organisations and building and construction sector professionals.
• Contribute to the objectives of the Built 4 People partnership and its network of innovation clusters, supporting monitoring of its KPIs.
Special Conditions
• Projects must implement the co-programmed European Partnership on ‘People-centric sustainable built environment’ (Built 4 People) and report their results to the partnership to support KPI monitoring.
• Selected proposals may involve the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre for added-value input on innovative building solutions and experimental research on full-scale prototype buildings.
• Projects must align with the EU commitment to climate neutrality by 2050 and adopt the whole life carbon definition encompassing all greenhouse gas emissions over a building’s lifecycle, including demolition and disposal.
