Buildings are responsible for approximately 40% of energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions in the EU. Deep Renovation of existing old buildings has the potential to lead to significant energy savings and a tremendous carbon footprint shrinkage. The current EU climate targets open an ample opportunity for exponential growth in the building thermal insulation materials market owing to the increasing number of new residential buildings and current deep renovation needs.
The target is to support residential building´s construction performance extraordinary at all three hierarchical levels of construction parts simultaneously (building, component, material) by creating an amplified environmental impact and reducing additionally VOC emissions.

BIO4EEB will close the increasing gap of insulation material shortage caused by the regular growing demand and the mismatch caused by lacking production potential and the outcome of the current energy crisis by boosting the use of available bio-based qualified materials as alternative solutions.
The objective is to substitute using fossil resources for components and replace them at a comparable price value positioning. New business models utilizing the complete economic value chain open the market for bio-based BIO4EEB solutions and products uplifting the generic bio-based material use and qualifying their application at a circular economy approach for creating a much greener EU building and construction industry real estate stock.

09-02-2023The BIO4EEB project contributes to the standardisation of bio-based insulation materials for enhancing the energy performance of buildings. Through its innovative approach, the project advances the development of bio-based materials such as Posidonia panels and bio-based polyurethane (BIO-PUR) insulation, focusing on circularity and sustainability. The project is aligned with key EU policies like the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) and aims to integrate circularity indicators into the construction sector. In doing so, BIO4EEB collaborates with standardisation bodies such as CEN/TC 350 and ISO/TC 323, contributing to the establishment of new standards that address environmental performance and circularity in construction. By developing high-performance bio-based materials that comply with stringent standards, BIO4EEB promotes the broader application of circularity principles in construction. This includes life cycle assessments (LCA), improving insulation properties, reducing embodied energy and CO2 emissions, and developing prefabricated façade systems. The project also contributes to the establishment of a digital platform for stakeholders to access knowledge and tools for improving decision-making regarding sustainable building renovation. This digital platform incorporates metrics and configurations derived from both real and virtual demonstration sites, enhancing the replicability of the solutions across the EU.
