Concept
Co-creation toolkit
A methodology and framework related to the inclusion of social innovation processes and co-creation focused on the improvement of cultural heritage buildings.
Digital twin ecosystem platform
A smart monitoring and heritage preventive conservation development combined with tailored tools covering the whole heritage built environment’s life cycle: design, renovation works, operation, monitoring and management, and maintenance.
Green environmental sensor
Novel environmentally friendly sensors are used to measure humidity, temperature and electrochemical /physical gas sensors target Volatile Organic Compounds, pollutants and chemical agents associated with the onset of degradation.
Smart energy router
Intelligent power electronics-based system that allows integration and management of energy from/to the different sources (AC distribution grid, renewable energy sources), loads and storage systems.
Wall, floor and ceiling solutions
Investigation and development in building materials for heritage retrofitting building solutions: versatile, modular and removable walls, partitions and technical floors.
