Driving innovation
The right stuff
The availability of the right, high performance products available on local markets can make or break any high performance building project. Luckily, achieving the necessary thermal characteristics in a particular building component does not take step-change innovation and the products needed for building to the Passive House Standard are often not fundamentally different from conventional products on the market – they are simply designed with superior energy efficiency in mind.
Products for step by step refurbishment
When looking at retrofitting and step by step retrofits in particular, the situation is no different. In this field especially, clever ideas and motivated manufacturers are needed to get around tricky situations that just aren't encountered in your typical new build. In retrofitting, for example, space is often at a premium - innovative façade integrated ventilation systems could help planners get around this challenge in their projects. In step by step retrofits, new windows may not be installed at the same time as additional insulation - components that facilitate the decoupling of these measures are thus much needed.

Within EuroPHit, manufacturers are being encouraged and supported to design products that aid step by step renovation. Using feedback from the case studies, project partners, some of them manufacturers themselves, are working to generate ideas for new product designs.
Call for manufacturers and product ideas Is there a product that would make step by step retrofitting easier but you can't seem to find on the market? Or are you a manufacturer interested in working with EuroPHit on innovative product designs for step by step retrofitting? |
