EU ITA-AUT FACEcamp

Dieser Antrag zielt auf Stärkung und nachhaltige Stabilisierung transnationaler Kooperationen zwischen Firmen und Forschungseinrichtungen auf dem Gebiet moderner Fassadensysteme mit Fokus auf Energieeffizienz, Komfort und Gesundheit ab. Dabei sollen Stakeholder und Firmen bei der Bewältigung planerischer Anforderungen durch moderne Fassadensysteme unterstützt werden. Kernziele sind (1) der Aufbau eines grenzüberschreitenden Kompetenzzentrums für moderne Fassadensysteme, um der Kompetenz aufzubauen und Know-how zwischen Forschungseinrichtungen und Firmen auszutauschen (2) sowie die Verbesserung bestehender Simulations-, Messund Testmethoden, um den Mehrwert fortschrittlicher Fassadensysteme quantifizieren zu können. Die Einrichtung des Kompetenzzentrums wird dank transnationaler Interessensvertretungen nach der Bottom-Up-Methode erfolgen. Workshops, Schulungen und Konferenzen werden zur überregionalen Verbreitung der Fachkompetenz organisiert. Mit diesem Projekt soll (1) ein grenzüberschreitendes Kompetenzzentrum aufgebaut werden, (2) die Brücke zwischen Praktikern, Planern und Forschern geschlagen werden, und (3) die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der Betriebe für qualitativ hochwertige und effiziente Fassadenprodukte gestärkt werden. Die Fachexpertise wird dadurch sowohl regional als auch auf europäischer und internationaler Ebene sichtbar. Das Kompetenznetzwerk bereitet damit einen attraktiven überregionalen Markt für den innovativen Fassadenbau.

FACEcamp project addresses to strengthen a long-term transnational cooperation among companies and R&I entities in the field of advanced façade systems (AFS) for healthy, comfortable and energy efficient buildings. FACEcamp general goal is to support stakeholders to cope effectively with the AFSs performances.Thus, the specific objectives are: (1) to establish a transnational competence center (CoCe) for AFSs, enhancing knowledge and sharing it among research centres, companies, practitioners and (2) to improve existing metrics, modelling and measuring procedures to show the benefits of the AFSs to a wide range of stakeholders.The definition and the establishment of the CoCe will be performed with a bottom-up approach thanks to the involvement of both IT and AT actors, already representing an excellence within the territory and beyond. Workshops, trainings and conferences will disseminate results at the local and international level, exploiting the CoCe as knowledge platform for private and public actors.Expected results, are (1) the establishment of a both cross-border and internationally recognised CoCe, (2) the reduction of the knowledge gap among stakeholders, and (3) the increase of the competitiveness of local companies and professionals offering excellence in the sector. The local expertise in the field will be strengthened and highlighted, thus creating the basis for an increased attractiveness of the territory in terms of new businesses and related workplaces.The central collector of all technical and non-technical activities is the Competence Center (CoCe), which is structured in the WP3. The main tasks within this WP are the evaluation of the involvement of local companies, the identification of the CoCe most suitable structure and business model and the identification of performance indicators, which will be, used also as synthetic indexes in compliances with existing certification schemes. The technical basis of the CoCe are developed in the WP4 Modelling and WP5 Measuring. They will both deepen the issues in the field of the modelling and measuring the performance of such advanced facade. In particular, WP4 will address the simulation tools for coupling thermal and daylighting calculations, from the point of view of model reliability and usability. The standardisation of the modelling boundary condition will also be analysed besides the topic of the influence of daylight in human behaviour. The WP5 will deepen the topics of the components and systems characterisation through the measuring of performances. Procedures will be developed from the visual to the thermal, energy and comfort point of view, including the measurement of the melanopic comfort. WP6 aims at dealing with façade innovation management and impact on the market from a quality perspective. Hence, a real existing facade system, integrating F&R and existing technologies, will be designed and assembled in WP6 and used for the advanced characterization and a crosscheck of the lab infrastructures in WP7. WP2 will disseminate the project findings, starting from the Consortium up to the local and national/international scales. Technical workshop and a one-year international technical school on facade will be organised. Finally, WP1 will take care of the management of the project and of the Consortium from technical, legal and social points of view.
