Work Package 3 - Identification of Innovations

Work Package 3 of Smart-ECO is led by Mace Group and includes contributing partners: Politecnico di Milano, Servitec, Endosystems, SINTEF and FH Soest. The goal of WP3 is to identify innovations that can provide significant contributions to the vision of sustainable Smart-ECO buildings in the period 2010-2030. The approach is from a project lifecycle point of view while considering the impact of scale.

An innovation in the context of WP3 could be applied to a new or existing building. Some areas for identifying innovation include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Process at any point in the life cycle (eco design) of a project
  • Integration of existing materials, components or systems to form a product or service whose impact is greater than the sum of its parts.
  • Technology – under development or deployed
  • New material, component or system
  • Design or evaluation tool
  • Construction or de-construction technique or approach
  • A new way of operating a building to ensure it functions at its designed performance
  • A tool or system to educate and involve professionals and users
  • A finance or incentive scheme
