HERIT4AGES
User-centric and data-driven retrofitting solutions for a resilient, energy efficient, low-emission and inclusive cultural heritage
Codice progetto: 101123175
Programma: Horizon Europe
Call: HORIZON-CL5-2022-D4-02 (Efficient, sustainable and inclusive energy use)
Heritage buildings were designed to comply with past lifestyles and uses. The comfort environment and the possibility to adapt them to new uses and HVAC systems are crucial to their resilience, but the protection regulations that warrant their conservation do not allow deep invasive interventions like in the rest of the built environment stock. Reversible and low disruptive solutions are key for enabling heritage-built environment adaptation. The Herit4ages concept surges from the idea that Heritage must last for ages and be able to adapt to environmental, economic and societal challenges.
The project aims to develop and validate a set of technical and socially innovative sustainable energy and resource-efficient solutions for the cost-effective improvement and preservation of the cultural heritage built environment along all relevant aspects: inclusiveness, accessibility, resilience, environmental and energy performance. These include a Co-creation Toolkit, a Digital Twin Ecosystem (DTE) platform, green environmental sensors, Smart Energy Routers (SER), non-intrusive load monitoring (NILM), and building renovation solutions. To achieve such objective, the Herit4ages consortium combines complementary profiles covering the fields of built environment digitization, monitoring, energy and physics, as well as sensor development, material recycling, material restoration, material labs, policies, citizen engagement, business models, heritage conservation, and Universal Design.
As a data-driven project, the solutions will be demonstrated and monitored throughout the process in five listed buildings representative of different uses, construction systems, ages and weather conditions, proposed among Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Estonia. An External Advisory Board comprising Heritage Protection Bodies and organizations will advise on general guidelines, regulations and implementation of best practices in Heritage and the future acceptance of our Herit4ages solutions.
