CLIMRES

Leadership for climate resilient buildings

Description

CLIMRES aims to foster a ‘Leadership for Climate Resilient Buildings’, by addressing the identification and systematic categorisation of buildings’ vulnerabilities and estimating their impact in the buildings’ ecosystem considering the interlinkages within the urban context. The project will deliver vulnerability assessment and impact evaluation methodologies along with an inventory hub of measures for building materials and design against climate risks, and a decision support toolkit addressing the three levels of decision making at strategic, tactical and operational levels.

CLIMRES solutions will be tested in three large scale pilots in Spain, Greece, Italy and Slovenia, evaluating their efficacy against heatwaves, extreme flooding, fires and earthquakes and one multi-hazard replication multiplier pilot in France.

 

Objectives

    • Engage stakeholders in a co-creation process to define ways of applying future proofing for vulnerable buildings.

    • Propose a methodological framework to assess the vulnerability of buildings and quantify the impact assessment taking into account the interrelationships in the wider building ecosystem.

    • Systematically analyse possible architectural interventions and new design materials for the renovation of existing vulnerable buildings and the future protection of new buildings.

    • Design and build a federated ICT platform and a set of AI-based tools, enabling massive data collection, harmonisation and sharing, as well as data-driven services to support decision making at strategic, tactical and operational levels.

    • Develop, test and validate in TRL 6-8 renewal solutions and services with relevant stakeholders in 3 large-scale pilots across the EU and pave the way for their exploitation and sustainability plans.

       

Actions

    • Coordination of activities to ensure the development, deployment and validation of CLIMRES solutions for climate resilient buildings and cities.

    • Development, deployment and validation of the CLIMRES tactical service decision support system for a climate resilient building stock against heat waves. It consists of three sub-services: heat wave vulnerable areas mapping, heat wave strategic planning and heat early warning.

    • Evaluation and testing of the Urban Heat Resilience service in a pilot environment (Barcelona, Spain).

    • Development of a set of concise policy recommendations for sub-national, national and European policy makers. These will highlight the benefits of CLIMRES solutions, as well as the regulatory and socio-economic conditions to enable further integration of identification, monitoring and actions for the future of vulnerable buildings.

Expected Results

  • Reporting on CLIMRES solutions, including inventory and set of innovative architectural solutions, strategic, tactical and operational services integrated in the common exchange platform.
  • Expertise on the development of services following the specifications and architecture defined in an expert framework and co-creation processes, tested from a technical point of view.
  • Service of Urban Heat Resilience to map vulnerable areas to heatwaves (aggregating data at various levels to obtain a climate vulnerability index), for strategic heatwave planning (exploratory catalogue of possible climate resilience measures to heatwaves) and heatwave early warning (to provide control recommendations at different levels to prevent, reduce and mitigate heat impacts).
  • Development of policy recommendations highlighting the benefits of CLIMRES solutions.
  • Evaluation and validation of the service in the city of Barcelona (Spain).

Línea I+D

  • Development of advanced climate services to support the definition and evaluation of mitigation and adaptation strategies.
