ExECUtIvE SUMMARy

The European Commission (EC) and the Energy Efficient Buildings Association (E2BA) have been working together over the last 5 years to turn the Energy Efficient Buildings PPP into a story of success. The PPP provides a platform to support research and innovation to reduce carbon emissions and improve energy performance of new and existing buildings and districts across Eu-rope, while at the same time boost industrial competitiveness.

The fourth EeB PPP Impact Workshop took place in April 2014 in Brussels. The E2BA, EC representatives and partners of the 111 projects funded by the EeB PPP under FP7 participated in the two day event. The ob-jective of the workshop was to get an over-view of progress of projects and assess the impact of the PPP to date. Project presen-tations shared best practice in clustering and exploitation and highlighted challenges that were common across projects. The workshop also enabled cross-project networking.

Nineteen groups of projects funded un-der the same research areas presented their core scientific and technical objectives. They shared the technical and non-technical is-sues they are facing and their challenges for exploitation of results. Some of the technical issues highlighted included the development

of common tools and methodologies, stan-dardisation procedures, common definition of KPIs and guidelines. Non-technical issues worth noting were related to stakeholder engagement (from the end user to the mu-nicipality), training and the social impact of solutions. Others were related to replicabil-ity of results, regulation, legislation and in-centives.

Clustering and exploitation were the key themes of the event. An increasing num-ber of projects are sharing the benefits of cooperating around common challenges. The articulation of benefits from clustering has also moved on from simply common dissemination and demonstration to much closer engagement e.g. sharing data, out-puts, resources, etc. Data sharing has helped to create reference databases that will be accessible by future projects. Consortia are holding joint workshops and cross-cluster events. They share results and discuss com-mon exploitation challenges. Some projects shared the intention to continue engaging in the cluster beyond the life of the project.

Clustering supports the exploitation pro-cess by reducing risks and creating critical mass. It brings new ethics of collaboration and ways of sharing knowledge. Hence, IPR issues need to be addressed early on in proj-

ects to promote successful cooperation. En-gagement also requires time and dedicated resources.

With the increased focus on innovation in Horizon 2020, projects will need a solid in-novation strategy from the start and strong support from both the public and the pri-vate side of the PPP for successful exploita-tion. Industry can provide access to pilots and maximise the opportunities to engage private investors. The EC can create market mechanisms to generate innovation through cohesion funds and public procurement.

The PPP approach has brought clear ad-vantages to participating stakeholders by closer multidisciplinary engagement across projects to develop cost effective, replicable and scalable solutions. E2BA supports the knowledge sharing and dissemination of projects. The 2014 EeB PPP Impact Work-shop highlighted the success of the PPP during FP7 in encouraging projects to work together and push results to market. It also highlighted opportunities for improvement to maximise exploitation of project results.

Main recommendations derived from the workshop are:

• Projects should define clustering tasks from the start with a budget and appro-priate time allocation

• Clusters should promote a closer en-gagement across projects beyond project coordinators to maximise exploitation opportunities

• Clusters should focus on addressing the common challenges that cannot be re-solved by a single project

• The EC should provide tailored training on exploitation and commercialisation that considers the needs of different proj-ects and expected impact factors

• The E2BA should provide more oppor-tunities for exchanges between projects and clustering at early stages of proposal preparation

1 IntRoduCtIon

The European Commission (EC) ran the fourth edition of the impact workshop of the Energy Efficient Buildings Public Private Partnership (EeB PPP) last 1 and 2 April 2014. Participants included representatives from the 111 projects funded by the PPP, the EC and the Energy Efficient Buildings Association (E2BA).

This fourth edition showcased all projects supported under the FP7 programme and has provided an opportunity as in previous years, to share best practices, successes and explore potential new opportunities of col-laboration across projects.

The EC completed in 2013 an assessment of the 3 PPPs launched by the Economic Recovery Plan in 2009. The assessment con-clusions were fundamental to build the con-tractual PPPs in Horizon 2020.

This report provides further detail on the value generated by the EeB projects. It also illustrates some of the technical and non-technical challenges that projects face and the opportunities to maximise impact through clustering and knowledge transfer.

1.1 oBjECtIvES

The objectives of the workshop were to con-tinue demonstrating the effectiveness of the EeB PPP, show the value that PPP projects funded under FP7 have had to date, capture successes and explore the issues that projects, E2BA and the EC need to address to maxi-mise impact.

The three main keywords of the event were:

• Impact: Capturing the value created by projects and the PPP that will ultimately

lead to a competitive construction in-dustry that can contribute to growth in Europe.

• Clustering: How projects maximise the benefit from establishing links and net-works around topic areas with the pur-pose of launching specific activities.

• Exploitation: Potential mechanisms, challenges and best practices of result commercialisation.


1.2 BACkgRound

The EeB PPP is a joint initiative of the EC and the E2BA to promote and support re-search and innovation to reduce the energy consumption and CO2 emissions related to new and retrofitted buildings across Eu-rope and to improve the competitiveness of the European construction sector. The EeB PPP is not just a financing instrument, but also an effective mechanism of dialogue be-tween industry and the EC services and it is being implemented in a true, positive part-nership. Under FP7, the public part of the PPP included different EC services (DG RTD, DG ENERGY and DG CNECT), while the private part was represented by the E2BA Association, which nominat-ed the Ad-hoc Industrial Advisory Group (AIAG).

E2BA was founded in November 2008 as a spin out of the European Construction

Technology Platform. The association was set up to drive the creation of an energy efficient industry that contributes to reach the 2020 targets and achieve energy neutral buildings and districts by 2030. The vision of E2BA by 2030, which is presented in its multiannual roadmap update, is to sig-nificantly increase research and innovation to transform the construction sector into a mature, innovative and high-tech building industry and to turn energy efficiency into a sustainable business.

E2BA gathers large companies, SMEs, re-search centres, academic institutions and relevant stakeholders interested in research and innovation in energy efficient buildings and districts. E2BA has also been liaising with member states and with other related national initiatives through the National Li-aison Points network.

1.3 MEthodoLogy

The event gathered around 110 people. The workshop started with three parallel sessions covering groups of projects. As opposed to 2013, when projects were grouped per call topic, projects have been grouped under the same supported area of research. This highlights the importance the EC is giving to the concept of clustering. In future years, further projects will be added to these areas, and the clusters will continuously produce results from finishing projects, to maximise the benefit from the multiyear programme.

The objective of the session was to outline the scientific and technical goals of the ar-eas, assess the achievements of the groups of projects, highlight the cross-cutting techni-cal and non-technical challenges and explore the benefits of clustering. The projects were asked to get in contact weeks before the

event in order to prepare joint presentations. The following schedule shows the areas se-lected by the EC:

Session 1: Nanotechnologies and Advance Materials in EeB – 27 projects in 6 topic areas

Area 1: Nanotechnology-based high perfor-mance insulation systems

Area 2: Materials with reduced embodied energy

Area 3: Nanotechnologies for HVAC sys-tems

Area 4: Novel materials for smart windowsArea 5: Nanotechnologies for multifunc-

tional lightweight construction ma-terials and components

Area 6: Technologies and materials for a healthier indoor environment

51 INtrOduCtION

Session 2: ICT for energy efficient buildings – 36 projects in 5 topic areas

Area 1: Building information modellingArea 2: Sensors and appliances networksArea 3: Key performance indicatorsArea 4: Energy managementArea 5: Smart cities

Session 3: Integration and demonstration of technologies for energy efficiency – 48 proj-ects in 8 topic areas

Area 1: Technologies for energy efficiency, generation, storage and use

Area 2: Technologies for building retrofit-ting

Area 3: Management and monitoring of building energy performance

Area 4: Validation of methodologies, busi-ness models and support actions for energy efficiency

Area 5: Solutions for energy-efficient reno-vation of non-residential or historic buildings

Area 6: Optimised design methodologies for integration in the neighbourhood energy systems

Area 7: Demonstration of high-performance energy-efficient buildings

Area 8: High-performance energy-efficient districts

Most groups included projects at different stages. Also, some clusters have already been engaging for quite some time whilst others are new and just started working together.

Each group was introduced by describing the rationale and goals of the different research topics and the expected impact at group level. Individual project highlights were shared with participants and joint presentations conclud-ed outlining the technical and non-technical cross-cutting issues and the possible synergies and benefits of clustering.

The second day kicked-off with presenta-tions from Lorenzo Vallés (DG RTD) and Stefano Carosio (E2BA) on EC and indus-try views on impact of the PPP to date. Five high performing projects were selected as success stories to present and share experi-ences with participants.

The presentations were followed by a panel discussions chaired by Lorenzo Vallés cov-ering the topics of clustering, IPR, Spin-offs and exploitation. The workshop closed with final statements from industry and the Commission services.

2 IMPACt of thE EEB PPP

This session provides an overview of the impact of the PPP as an instrument and

the impact and challenges reported by the 111 participating projects.

2.1 ovERvIEw of thE PPP IMPACt

The E2BA and the EC have been monitor-ing the outcomes of the EeB PPP over the last 5 years. In addition, the final assessment of the 3 PPPs from the Recovery Plan has also captured the benefits brought by this in-strument during FP7. In particular, the PPP approach:

• Increased industrial participation (54%) and SME participation (27%)

• Stimulated industrial commitment to define a strategy

• Promoted demonstrators which facilitate technology uptake and bring projects closer to market

• Improved success rate in calls and lower time to grant whilst maintaining trans-parency, fairness and accessibility

• Allowed a balanced participation of members and non-members of industrial associations

• Fostered a balanced distribution of fund-ing between different countries

• Provided opportunities to engage with other initiatives and bodies and facilitat-ed the adoption of existing results from other programmes

• Generated knowledge through projects that is already being used by participat-ing organisations

• Created an innovation ecosystem that involves not only the industry but also those in the periphery such as end users, insurers, public authorities, service pro-viders, etc.

• Enabled working beyond national boundaries through geoclusters to share examples of best practice between differ-ent countries

• Provided global solutions that allow SMEs to connect to a global market whilst generating local impact

• Created a community that provides crit-ical mass to respond to the energy and CO2 challenges of Europe


The success of the EeB PPP under FP7, the importance of the construction sector and the economic and environmental challenges the sector is facing have contributed to the estab-

lishment of the EeB PPP as a contractual PPP (cPPP) in Horizon 2020. Under this new regime, a set of core KPIs will help monitor performance at project and at PPP level.

2.2 nAnotEChnoLogIES And AdvAnCEd MAtERIALS In EEB

The six clusters of projects represented ap-proximately €89 m of EC contribution. The research explored the areas outlined below.

• Nano-based super-insulation: aero-gel (composite/hybrid nanomaterials, nanostructured encapsulation of air), cool-coatings, VIPs with nanofoams, nano-based PCM etc. The achieved reduction of energy in use is about 20-30%. Projects installed technologies in a number of demonstrators including the Demo Park in Algete (NanoE2BClus-ter). All projects demonstrated total cost reduction.

• Materials with reduced embodied en-ergy: lightweight concrete by waste re-cycling, building insulation masonry components, bio-based composites, etc. Expected reduction of embodied energy in material is about 50-70% and an 80% reduction of CO2 emissions. Costs had to be reduced by 15-25% whilst durabil-ity had to increase up to 200%.

• Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition-ing Systems (HVACs): nano-based des-iccants for removing moisture, improved heat transfer by nano-structured surfaces and nano-coatings for anti-ice forma-tion, ducts with advanced insulation and cleaning properties; monitoring systems and sensors. The heat-exchange efficien-cy achieved an improvement of 50% and energy in use is reduced by 50% whilst improving air quality.

• Smart windows: solar energy harvesting with visual, thermal and sound function-alities, ultra-thin membranes for adjust-

able quadruple glazing, electrochromic/photovoltaic inks applied by inkjet, ac-tive windows with Vacuum Insulation Glazing etc. Projects achieved a 50% re-duction of energy in use, 75% heat loss-es, 50% weight reduction.

• Nano-based multifunctional lightweight components: nano-additives component for efficient thermal storage and adaptive insulation panel with switchable thermal resistance; new façade elements by Fibre Reinforced Powder Concrete; nano-ma-terials and MEMs to tune properties; nanostructured flame retardant foam with improved PCM; multi-functional panels for retrofitting. Projects are work-ing to achieve a reduction in total costs; improvement of energy, fire and seismic performance of building components.

• Technologies and materials for a health-ier indoor environment: advanced mon-itoring systems and sensors, active and passive systems, Forest based compos-ites for facades and interior partitions, insulation based on a Nano-Crystalline Cellulose foam, optimised cementitious materials with modified surfaces and elements made of wooden/cellulose ma-terials. Projects in this area are looking at the quality of the indoor environment based on variables such as temperature, humidity, acoustic, VOC as well as cap-turing recommendations for regulations.

For all the technologies under development there is an expected reduction in total costs; improvement of energy, fire and seismic performance of building components. The main aim is to improve material, product

and technology characteristics in a cost ef-fective way whilst ensuring a safe, healthy and comfortable environment. New tech-nologies should reduce energy consumption and GHG emissions, reduce embodied en-ergy and improve durability. Ultimately, the aspiration is to deliver new, integrated and sustainable design possibilities that offer easy

installation and maintenance and can be ap-plied in new and existing buildings.

Regarding research results exploitation, proj-ects are exploring the challenges of standard-isation, regulatory issues, and development of test procedures. Many are demonstrating the technologies in use.

Cross-cutting issues

Technical and non-technical cross-cutting issues among the projects that should be

taken into account to increase the overall impact are included in the table below:

technical cross-cutting issues non-technical cross-cutting issues

measurements, calculations, standardisation methodologies for new products (e.g. testing)

Common efforts to address architects and consumers, reaching wider target groups

lCA (life cycle analysis and assessment), lCCA (life cycle cost analysis)

Common educational material based on most relevant research results

Carbon footprint assessment Standardisation by joint efforts

nano particles safety (e.g. for hvAC systems) and health issues (e.g. IAQ)

Psychological barriers and perceptions of new materials or technologies

durability evaluation Jointly organised workshops, seminars, dissemination activities

Round robin tests (e.g. on u-values) database of publically available state-of-the-art contact information of players in the field

share project foreground results / outcome combinations for better “total” solutions Build a reference community

Streamline activities in common areas (e.g. fire safety research) shared market search and marketing activities

Exchange of non-confidential project results related to surface functionalisation (e.g. nano-based coatings for different purposes)

Exploitation strategies for new products in different markets and market segments

Investigate potential for joint large scale demonstrations Regulation and legislation

Synergies and benefits of clustering

Regarding clustering activities they can add value to the project in different ways:

• Common dissemination and demonstra-tion activities

• Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) signed to enable more open dialogue be-tween projects

• Meetings across clusters

• Clustering and technology transfer with other Nano-areas (e.g. within Nanofu-tures) to be further pushed, taking care of IPR protection

• Cross-references among the projects’ websites


• Common participation to projects In-dustrial Interest Group meetings

• Share data on the impact of indoor air quality & information on the acceptable levels of pollutants and use these to cre-ate a reference baseline

• Consideration of societal values (e.g. al-lergies prevention)

The Nano E2B cluster experience was shared in this session highlighting the benefits of

the shared Demo park that now includes 14 projects and over 100 partners. They have benefitted from common dissemination, promotion of project outcomes and a com-mon reference database has helped to share data more effectively.

Another highlight was the event that brought together twenty five projects from an emerging cluster across all Nanotechnol-ogy and Advanced Materials areas. Clusters met in Athens in early April to share project outcomes.

2.3 ICt foR EnERgy-EffICIEnt BuILdIngS

This session included 36 projects grouped in 5 clusters. The focus and expected impact of projects in this area includes:

• Building Information Modelling (BIM): Research will support better understand-ing of building/occupants behaviour, will enable reduced cost of access to building information and an improve-ment of data/information interoperabili-ty by means of energy ontology.

• Sensors and Appliances Networks: The research outcomes will facilitate the de-velopment of innovative business models through ESCOs and an improvement of control strategies (i.e. better efficiency and better comfort).

• Key Performance Indicators: Research will enable a finer control of different quality of service managed by ESCOs and will open a market for ICT-based district/community energy management systems (by KPIs-based contract).

• Energy Management: Research will open platforms for gathering of heterogeneous energy data empowering the decision making process. It will favour easy inte-gration of products from different ven-dors and facilitate the development of a BEMS that can be easily applied to any existing building.

• Smart Cities: Research will enable opti-mal planning by city authorities and en-ergy service providers by using historical, near real-time and forecast city energy data. The impact of ICT solutions will be increased by fostering interoperability among systems and by developing com-mon KPIs to improve market uptake. Peak loads will reduce as well as backup production on public grid.

Projects in this area have ambitious tech-nical goals. They are studying Building Energy Management Systems aiming to integrate in a single system different en-ergy efficient production/consumption sub-systems. A remarkable development is focused on advanced control algorithms capable of learning from previous opera-tions and situations, and load-balancing in near-real time. Systems are being de-signed to be interoperable with ICT-based sub-systems (e.g. for security, safety, com-fort). Development of ICT/control/de-cision support systems is addressing the integrated dynamics of multi-carrier en-ergy hubs in neighbourhoods. An exten-sive validation phase is taking place using predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) focused on the link between the operation of the buildings and the benefits for potential users.


The expected impact of projects in the ICT for energy efficiency area includes:

• Providing a more granular and accurate tool to respond to emergency situations without interrupting the service

• Avoiding an overload as the grid operator could request to reduce the consumption from public lighting, or HVAC systems

• Enabling a finer control managed by ES-COs

• Building a new platform providing im-proved neighbourhood energy perfor-mance

• Combining energy-hub based optimisa-tion features with seamless integration of energy ICT systems

• Developing open standards as founda-tions for the EPIC-HUB platform

• Contributing towards opening a market for ICT-based district/community EMS

Baseline definition and validation Methodology

The introduction of KPIs is crucial to pro-mote the successful adoption of ICT tech-nologies at building and city scale. The

impact of users, their involvement and ac-ceptance is a challenge that many projects came across.


Synergies and benefits from clustering

Cluster activities can add value to projects through:

• Improved data exchange format, meth-odologies and protocols and contribu-tion to common data ontologies and metrics

• Common repository for data models taking into account “Model Readiness Level” e.g. eeSemantics ad valMet

• Coordinated approach to standardisa-tion of frameworks through exchange of best practices and guidelines

• Clustering workshops for information ex-change and harmonisation (e.g. ECPPM)

• Exchange experience in advanced mod-elling of complex environment and sys-tems

• Identification of common exploitation barriers and harmonisation of available resources for targeting financing sources and industry interest

Cluster activities also help exploitation of research results after the end of the proj-ect thanks to the opportunity of joint dissemination activities and data sharing. Approaching municipalities and potential customers in a more targeted way is easier when there is a critical mass of partners and outcomes.

2.4 IntEgRAtIon And dEMonStRAtIon of tEChnoLogIES foR EEB

This session captured the achieved and ex-pected impact of 48 projects in 8 cluster areas. The science and technology goals of these projects relate to developing good practices, methodologies and data reposi-tories about energy efficient buildings. The new concepts and designed tools developed are focused on achieving active and high-er insulation building envelopes, efficient heating and cooling system, high perform-ing thermal storage and energy generation systems including renewable energy (solar, environmental heat and biofuels). Solutions demonstrate resource efficiency whilst main-taining indoor environment quality. On the socio-economic side, the studied solutions aim to be cost-effective, replicable and oper-ating through viable business models with a ROI of 7 years for deep retrofitting.

Special attention has been given to existing buildings of all typologies (residential, com-mercial, educational, etc.). A systemic ap-proach to retrofitting both at building and dis-

trict scale has been demonstrated in numerous sites across Europe. For the successful delivery of solutions, the role of SMEs is key as well as the training of construction workers.

Further detail on the eight research areas is included below:

• Technologies for energy efficiency, gen-eration, storage and use: wider use of re-newable resources; development of new efficient appliances for energy generation (fuel cell, high temperature heat pump, absorption heat pump) suitable for both new and retrofitted buildings; develop-ment of seasonal energy storage systems; development of technologies compatible with various societal constraints (environ-ment, existing infrastructure, economic attractiveness);demonstration of the new solution in real scale pilot plants.

• Technologies for building retrofit-ting: retrofitting of existing multi-sto-


rey multi-owner buildings envelope, through advanced insulating compo-nents and materials; holistic approach to energy efficient envelope retrofitting, enabling end users to make decisions based on quantified performance objec-tives according to regulations; integrated renovation including building envelope technologies; façade concept, built on composite materials and advanced mul-tifunctional panels with technological modules that will allow integrated active and passive technologies in the façade.

• Management and monitoring of build-ing energy performance: development of district simulation platform for energy flows; control for building operational plan generation focused on consumption reduction; decision support tool for long term decision making and for medium term predictive maintenance; optimis-ation strategies for use of decentralised sources and storage, both for electrical and thermal networks; optimisation of renewable energy usage at domestic lev-el; new integrated concept of intercon-nectivity between buildings, grids and other networks at a district level; optimal energy flows both at district and build-ing level; methodology for a continuous update for the building models with external, (climate, tariffs, etc..), internal and user behaviour data.

• Validation of methodologies, business models and support actions for energy efficiency: facilitate SMEs engagement; encourage the transfer of good practices, technologies and methodologies; over-come barriers with cost effective tools; new business models triggered by emerg-ing technologies; organisational and fi-nancial models which include ESCOs; common energy tool sets for simulation and analysis; performance based con-tracts and lifecycle-performance based business; private and public incentive

schemes, to encourage efficient and pragmatic solutions at district or greater scale; new cost effective, fast and easy to use tools to overcome present barriers.

• Solutions for energy-efficient renovation of non-residential or historic buildings: analysis of EU building stock; tools and procedures to support the retrofit solu-tions package application whilst con-sidering indoor environmental quality and cost effectiveness; monitoring and control systems and approaches for as-sessment of actual performance; demon-stration in real case studies and in virtual demos, to assess effective performances and verify their replication potential.

• Optimised design methodologies for integration in the neighbourhood ener-gy system: building design and control to facilitate decision-making prior to construction; improve reliability and interoperability of tools with other adja-cent energy systems and with informa-tion systems used during the building life-cycle; provide actors with holistic methods and tools to support the opti-mised design of integrated energy-effi-cient buildings; modelling and optimi-sation techniques including dynamic data integration; validation actions on a technical level (apply the tools on real projects), and on a societal level (with the building occupants).

• Demonstration of high-performance en-ergy-efficient buildings (36 demonstra-tors in 12 countries): develop strategies, tools, methodologies, techniques and apply them in demonstration buildings to make them cost effective, high ener-gy-efficient, low energy consumption or near zero energy; involve end-users to stay and build on the renovation projects a more dynamic society; minimise tech-nical and social disturbance for tenants; maintain or improve indoor environ-


ment quality; new forms of incentives for users to monitor energy usage and methodologies for involvement.

• High-performance energy-efficient dis-tricts: holistic district renovation; district heating and/or cooling; smart grids in-tegration; guidance to local community development agencies, developers, SMEs as suppliers and end users; renovation of districts of existing residential buildings; integrated design and planning; cost-ef-fective renovation; use of latest technolo-gies and innovative integration at district level.

The expected impact of projects in the area of integration and demonstration of tech-nologies includes:

• Increasing energy efficiency of systems

• Reducing peak load

• Reducing resources consumption (ener-gy, raw materials…)

• Reducing CO2 emissions

• Stimulating the energy efficient build-ings market

• Deploying newly developed technolo-gies in a cost-effective way

• Improving quality of life

• Involving the whole value chain, includ-ing building users

• Increasing the competitiveness of SMEs

• Up-skilling workers

Synergies and benefits of clustering

For demonstration projects, clustering activ-ities undertaken include:

• Shared vision and concepts

• Integrated results across projects in methodologies, technologies data bases and business models

• Common dissemination activities: con-ferences, social networks, cross-linked projects websites

• Inter-project workshops

Clustering activities have added value to projects through:

• Efficient use of project resources by com-plementing efforts rather than duplicat-ing

• Learning from other projects public re-sults

• Optimising dissemination efforts widen-ing the project’s audience (including new

countries) and reaching more relevant stakeholders

• Exchanging model information to solve similar problems

• Definition of common case studies to test the different approaches

• Access to other areas of expertise outside the project consortia

• More consistency and credibility of re-sults

• Creating collaboration networks e.g. end-users, complementary industrial partners…

Clustering activities can support exploitation of results after the project ends by keeping alive Europe-wide collaboration networks. In addition, clusters provide critical mass to lobby certification bodies and regulators and can promote interoperability of tools.

3 SuCCESS StoRIES

Five success stories from different topic areas were selected to present on their achieve-ments and impact to date. These projects presented 5 products that were near market and shared their approach for a real step forward towards the commercialisation of technologies. The projects are adding value to properties through demonstration actions and some are getting awards in different countries. They provide clear examples of

how to take research to industrial up scal-ing e.g. patent applications, testing business models, pilot plant manufacturing etc.

It is worth noting that most of these proj-ects have benefitted from clustering activi-ties that go beyond common dissemination into real sharing of previous project results and collaboration to address non-technical challenges e.g. financing, installation, repli-cability, etc.

demonstrate the full potential of renewable energy by providing 100% on-site renewable energy within an “Energy hub district” www.e-hub.orgCoordinator: tno

E-hub facilitates the implementation of large shares of renewables in energy supply systems by thermal storage and by load shifting.

Key achievements include the development of a commercial thermochemical storage product and a load shifting solution called the multi Commodity matcher (mCm). The objective of the project is to set the mCm as the standard in control of smart grids dealing with heat and electricity.

The new technology developed would allow consulting with municipalities in configuring energy neutral/energy efficient districts.

There are 5 model districts that have been used to assess the feasibility of E-hub energy systems and also studied the characteristics of current energy supply systems. Also, a full scale demo has been installed in Belgium in Tweewaters. Heart of the energy supply is a biomass fired cogeneration unit, which is expected to provide 80% of renewable heat and 100% of renewable electricity to the district.

1. Modular wireless sensor-actuator platform for building automation. The platform is flexible and cost-effective. There is a sensor positioning decision support tool based on the IFC information of the building.

2. Building Energy calculator that can be configured automatically and computes realtime consumption

3. self-learning optimiser to select the control settings that minimise energy consumption while meeting comfort requirements for a given time horizon.

4. sEEds Building Energy management system that optimises the energy behaviours of the building and integrates products 1 to 3.

Two demonstration sites in norway and spain are providing a test bed to validate the system. The main benefits of this system use are: reduction of energy consumption, costs and CO2 emissions; improved health, quality of life and comfort; reduction of first adjustment and maintenance costs and easy customisation of sEEds’ BEms to any building to facilitate market penetration.

E2Rebuild, industrialised energy efficient retrofitting of residential buildings in cold climates.www.e2rebuild.eu Coordinator: nCC

E2Rebuild aims are threefold:

• Investigate, promote and demonstrate cost effective and advanced energy efficient retrofit strategies that create added value

• Establish and demonstrate sustainable renovation solutions that will reduce the energy use to fulfil the national limit values for new buildings according to the Energy Performance of Buildings directives (for 2010) and to reduce the space heat use by about 75%

• Create a holistic industrialised process that aims to minimise technical and social disturbance for tenants and facilitates energy efficient operation and use of the buildings encouraging efficient behaviour.

The 7 demonstration projects have focused on different challenges e.g. process, social aspects, technical issues and all of them proved a significant increase of energy performance. One of the demonstrators received an award and another has been nominated for an award in a different country. The results have been validated to demonstrate a replicable, cost and energy efficient renovation process with the smallest disturbance possible for the tenants. Project partners have already benefited from new business contracts.

Integrated Air quality sensor for energy efficient environment controlwww.intasense.euCoordinator: C-tech Innovation

The project approach is to:

Develop new sensor technologies allowing monitoring of variables that reflect the health impact of the environment

Develop cheap and effective air handling systems through the use of microfluidics which reduces energy requirements and pump sizes.

develop a scalable and easy to install system: use a wireless network to avoid additional cabling and allow easy expansion or retrofitting; Allow integration with existing systems, both sensor units and modbus hvAC control interface.

The project has built on published research from previously funded projects on indoor air quality. The project proposed the development of a platform to share collected data from low energy buildings to offer great insight for research and development projects.

Intasense has provided a cost effective system for the monitoring of indoor air quality and will help to create a market and support the introduction of novel air treatment systems.

new Advanced Insulation Phase change Materials with improved behaviours incorporating nanoparticles.www.nanopcm-eu.netCoordinator: Acciona

The project is developing three main elements. The first is an organic form-stable phase change materials (PCm) with improved behaviour incorporating nanoparticles. The second element is a nano porous material in which selected organic/inorganic PCms will be embedded. lastly, an organic insulation foam that incorporates energy storage additives for improved storage capacity.

The project results have been demonstrated through testing of materials in a building and industrial production at pilot plant scale (80 Ton/year production line in The netherlands).

NanoPCM project has been a strong champion of the NanoE2B cluster and it was the first project to install materials in the cluster Demo Park in Spain and Poland. The project has benefitted from sharing knowledge with other projects and will continue being active after project completion.

The project is now focusing on the exploitation plan. main achievements of nano PCm include:

• Additive for increasing thermal inertia of construction materials improving insulation behaviour and energy efficiency of building materials.

• Phase Change material microcapsules with own technology. EP 09153793

• Industrial Pilot Plant Production. Engineering know how on spray drying.

• Polyurethane foam with PCM additive production at industrial scale.

• Possibility of technology license abroad, know how transfer or patent license for outside Europe.

4 MAxIMISIng IMPACt And SuCCESSfuL InnovAtIon StRAtEgy

The impact workshop included a panel dis-cussion focused on how to maximise the op-portunities for technology exploitation and approaches for collaborative innovation. The questions that were raised for the discussion are the following:

a. Have you established links with other projects? How have they added value to your own project?

b. How has your project addressed IPR, patenting and contribution to standards?

c. Has your project planned a spin-off company? What were barriers/benefits? Can you share best practices on this or other exploitation strategies?

d. What could help to further ensure that the EeB projects and the PPP generate breakthrough exploitable results?

Participating panellists included:

– Jesus Isoird, Acciona

– Maria Founti, NTUA

– Don McLean, IES

– Eunate Goiti, Tecnalia

In response to question 1 panellists and the audience discussed how clustering has trans-formed the ad-hoc interaction between EeB PPP projects into a new opportunity for collaboration. When compared to previous years, engagement between projects has be-come more widespread, closer and more ad-vanced. Also it has evolved from a call based to a research theme based cooperation facili-tating joint working in common challenges.

There is general acknowledgment that clus-tering makes projects more competitive, more productive and more successful during and after the project life. It supports build-ing a community of participants and stake-holders and helps share the risks in real pilot projects. There are also challenges that need global approaches such as nano-safety, stan-dardisation, regulatory barriers and devel-opment of financial models for large scale uptake of solutions.


However, successful collaboration requires time and dedicated resources which can sometimes be a challenge. Clustering has also brought about new ethics of collabo-ration and ways of sharing knowledge. IPR needs to be considered early in the project life to avoid it becoming a barrier to fruitful engagement across projects. With NDAs in place and well developed exploitation plans, collaboration can take place more openly. Follow-up projects could help to continue building on the success of existing clusters and benefitting from the experience and mo-mentum gained by mature consortia.

Panellists and the audience found questions 2 and 3 difficult to address as very few proj-ects are at the stage of considering patenting or new venture development.

Question 4 raised the issue of how, frequent-ly, big projects have too many aspirations. At the beginning of the project, consortia need

to be focused and selective about the appli-cation areas of solutions to maximise op-portunities for exploitation. This also avoids situations where partners are competing for time and resources. At the end of the proj-ect, development of business plans and stan-dardisation are significant challenges.

Looking forward to Horizon 2020, project selection will have to be strongly steered by the potential for impact to ensure that projects generate exploitable results. Given the stronger emphasis on innovation, proj-ects need a solid exploitation strategy from the start and strong support from both the public and the private side of the PPP. The Private input can connect to pilots and maximise the opportunities to engage pri-vate investors. The Public can create market mechanisms to generate innovation through cohesion funds and public procurement.

5 ConCLuSIonS And RECoMMEndAtIonS

Following FP7, the fourth impact workshop aimed at assessing the impact of the PPP and of its projects to date, exploring the bene-fits of clustering to maximise potential for exploitation and discuss common barriers to take results to market.

The PPP plays a fundamental role to max-imise impact of project innovations. The community that built around the PPP has demonstrated to have an impact on the quality and exposure of projects. The E2B roadmap is seen as a key tool to maximise that impact as it reflects industry needs and strategic orientation. It has promoted an agenda pointing at the key solutions that can be brought to market.

The views of industry and the EC on the EeB PPP to date can be summarised in one word: ‘success’. This is evidenced by the close indus-try engagement not only through participation in projects (at 54%) but also by providing quick response to the EC in developing a strat-egy. The high number of demonstration sites and the support calls to address non-technical commercialisation challenges has contributed to it.A lot of progress had been made on clus-tering of projects over the last year. In 2013, projects were more explicitly encouraged to engage with others working in similar areas

and the push from the EC has paid off. Now clustering of projects goes beyond networking and is taking place through data and resources sharing, joint workshops to address common problems, joint dissemination and demonstra-tors and exchange of best practices.

The areas of research introduced this year will be kept in the years to come, as new funded projects will add to the one or the other – and clusters will provide every year the results from finished and running proj-ects (clusters as ‘living entities’)

The Nano-E2B cluster is an excellent exam-ple of a successful cluster which now brings together 14 projects and over 100 partners working together under an NDA with a joint exploitation agreement. Clustering is bringing value to projects and individual partners and has proven to speed up the ex-ploitation process.

The community is looking forward to con-tinue working under the Horizon 2020 cPPP. The continued support of the EC ac-knowledges the need for innovation in the sector. The construction industry is one of the major employers in Europe. It is a very fragmented and risk averse sector with 95% of companies being SMEs. However, the


common goals of reduction of CO2 emis-sions and energy consumption are major drivers for collaboration.

The cPPP will build on the success of the PPP and will continue addressing the com-plexities to innovate in both new and exist-ing buildings and districts. The core KPIs agreed with the EC will help to monitor per-formance of both the PPP and its projects and will support the continuous assessment of the added value of EeB investments.

The E2BA and the EC need to continue working together towards the creation of an

innovation ecosystem that goes beyond the EeB community and the geographic bar-riers. This will enable sustainable and long term impact through increased economic ac-tivity, job creation and the renewal of a more skilled workforce.

The following are a set of short (could be acted upon now) and medium to long term (from 2015 onwards) recommendations that emerged at the impact workshop to maximise the benefits of clustering and the potential for exploitation. These are sugges-tions for EeB projects or clusters of projects, the EC or E2BA:
