The Green INSTRUCT project was presented at the 11^th Greek Scientific Conference on Chemical Engineering (11^th PESXM, http://www.11pesxm.gr/). The conference was held in Thessaloniki, Greece during 25-27 May 2017. The conference is organized each two years by the Greek chemical engineering academic society and its purpose is to gather members from academia and industry in order to exchange scientific and technological findings on chemical engineering and to promote their collaboration capabilities. The 11^th PESXM conference hosted more than 1100 participants representing companies, universities and research centers from all over the Greece.

 

The early stage results of the Green INSTRUCT project were presented by NTUA through oral and poster presentations.

The Green INSTRUCT project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 723825.

 

lanGreen INSTRUCT at BRIMEE Seminar “Circular Economy in the building construction sector – NCC as a generator of a eco- economy in building industry”, 17 May 2017, Warsaw, Poland.

The Green INSTRUCT project was presented at the BRIMEE project’s seminar: “Circular Economy in the building construction sector – NCC as a generator of a eco- economy in building industry.” The seminar took place on the 17th of May 2017 in Warsaw, Poland in Zamoyscy Palace and it was organized by SARP (Association of Polish Architects).

The seminar was dedicated to the dissemination of the idea of a new bio- renewable, easy-to –use panels, BRIMEE panels, drawing attention on questions important for end-users (architects, engineers, investors). Speakers from University of Technology and organisations connected with “green buildings” as well as representatives of BRIMEE project and other EU projects presented different topics related to the circular economy in the construction sector.

The Green INSTRUCT project has been presented along with other EU projects such as HISER, RE4, VEEP or InnoWEE. Polish Green INSTRUCT project partner, Jarek Zarychta from NR-GIA Budownictwo Sp. o.o. presented the overview and the goals of the Green INSTRUCT project. Moreover he gave an update on the current state of work on the project and the development of the idea of the panel design.

At the conclusion of the seminar, Mr. Jerzy Grochulski, PhD, Vice president of SARP, Vice dean of Warsaw University of Technology expressed his satisfaction and hope that in working with many teams on the broad issues of Circular Economy in building construction sector, CDW reuse projects and material circulation In the construction industry, the future should bring groundbreaking solutions in this area.

All participants in the seminar expressed their satisfaction with the possibility of exchanging information related to their projects and willingness to cooperate further. It has been referred that with further cooperation, complex goals will be efficiently reached faster.

alchemia-nova as provider of the green exterior wall for water treatment was present at the Green Infrastructure Conference 2017 about nature based solutions for sutainable and resilient cities in Orvieto, Italy between 4-7 April 2017. alchemia-nova presented the Green INSTRUCT general poster, as the project is still in early stage. The topic of integrating green elements in urban environments seems to be high in trend and the developments in the Green INSTRUCT project will add to its further use.

 

Green INSTRUCT 6 month progress meeting at National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Athens, Greece.

The 6 month progress meeting of Green INSTRUCT project (prefabrication for refurbishment from a modular perspective by way of a universal building block with customization potential) was held on 8-9 of March 2017 at the premises of the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Athens, Greece.

During the project meeting, the progress made in each work package was presented by the work package / task leaders and several administrative issues were discussed. Moreover initial technical discussions between the partners for the internal and the external wall took place and decisions for the action plan of each partner were taken.

Green INSTRUCT presented at Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) 2016

16-18 November 2016

Barcelona, Spain

The Green INSTRUCT project was presented to the audience and visitors of the SCEWC 2016 by LEITAT, a participating partner to the project.

Smart City Expo World Congress (SCEWC) is an international summit for discussion and knowledge transfer regarding the relationship between urban reality and technological revolution. Since its inception in 2011, SCEWC has become a referential global event supporting the development of cities. This professional, institutional and social meeting point is now a leading platform for ideas, networking, experience-sharing and international business deals, attracting all the top-level stakeholders in urban development.

The 2016 edition included more than:

• 16,688 visitors
• 591 exhibitors
• 600 cities
• 420 speakers
• 50 side events & activities

The Green INSTRUCT project was presented by LEITAT (project partners) at a dedicated expo-booth through the distribution of flyers and posters, and general Q&A sessions.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 723825.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

H2020 project Green INSTRUCT kicks off at Brunel University, London.

The Green INSTRUCT (Green Integrated Structural Elements for Retrofitting and New Construction of Buildings) kick-off meeting was held on 13 – 14 October, 2016 at Brunel University in London. The meeting was attended by all the partners.

Green INSTRUCT, project number 723825, is funded under topic EEB-04-2016: “New technologies and strategies for the development of prefabricated elements through the reuse and recycling of construction materials and structures” of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme. The Green INSTRUCT project will develop a prefabricated modular structural building block that is superior to conventional precast reinforced concrete panels by virtue of its reduced weight, improved acoustic and thermal performance, and multiple functionalities.

During the meetings all issues related to the commencement, management, finance and technicalities of the Green INSTRUCT project were presented and discussed. Key focal points were the technologies to be used, specifications of materials and methodologies, end-users requirements and industrial scenarios for the implementation of project results. The partners engaged in technical discussions during the two days and committed in the project tasks foreseen in the Grant Agreement.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 723825.
