PROBONO

The Integrator-centric approach for realising innovative energy efficient buildings in connected sustainable green neighbourhoods

Description

PROBONO brings together a European multidisciplinary consortium of 47 partners, to turn the six European districts (PROBONO´s Living Labs) into Green Building Neighbourhoods (GBN), with positive energy balance and zero carbon emissions: two large-scale demonstrators (Madrid and Dublin) and four living labs representing business/owner promoters of the green buildings and neighbourhood´s transition (Porto, Brussels, Aarthus, Prague).

PROBONO will provide strong examples of how GBN´s technological and social innovationas can be applied, with a vision focused on building infrastructure and a renewed focus on people and sustainability.

PROBONO will provide a Green Building Neighbourhoods Digital Twin (DT) implemented across the LLs as a virtual representation of associated GBN including operational assets that implicate environmental and efficieny KPI.

      Objectives

      • Provide GBN Strategic Planning Tools in spatial, economic, technical, environmental, regulatory and social context aligned to city and urban masterplans, policy frameworks and the EU Taxonomy.
      • Provide a set of GBN Construction and Renovation and GBN Green Energy Transition Acceleration Enablers matching initial LL requirements.
      • Maximise the adoption of the PROBONO energy efficient approach and innovations beyond the project lifetime by using a range of participatory methods that promote stakeholders (including citizens) participation in co-designing and co-delivering a sustainable GBN in the LLs and beyond.
      • Provide a Green Building Neighbourhoods Digitalisation Platform – Digital Twin to enable decision support in GBN planning design, manufacturing, construction and operation phases.
      • Plan, monitor and continuously assess the project´s LLs efficiencies and Evaluate and demonstrate the PROBONO innovations through the LLs GBN Implementation.

      Actions

      • CARTIF leads the monitoring and evaluation activities of the project´s Living Labs.
      • CARTIF leads the definition of the Living Labs Evaluation Framework.
      • CARTIF leads the establishment of the monitoring programs associated with each LL.
      • CARTIF leads the evaluation of the impact achieved after the integration of innovative solutions. 
      • CARTIF gives support to the Spanish Living Lab located in Madrid, based on the extensive experience in digitization tools, energy monitoring systems, energy audits, energy simulations, among others.

      Expected Results

      • Evaluation Framework adapted to the GBN needs.
      • Digital Twin for the support in the decision making for the operational stage of the Geothermal network.

      BATERURGIA

      BATERURGIA

      BATERURGIA “research into advanced recycling technologies for obtaining strategic metals from EV batteries”, aims to respond to the challenges posed by the recycling of LIBs and provide knowledge to solve the problems arising from the recovery and selective separation of critical metals to facilitate their use in the manufacture of new batteries or to replace conventional raw materials and introduce them into other production sectors as alternative raw materials.
