E2VENT project “Energy Efficient Ventilated Facades for Optimal Adaptability and Heat Exchange enabling novel NZEB architectural concepts for the refurbishment of existing buildings"
The NZEB (Net-Zero Energy Buildings) are buildings with net zero energy consumption, ie; the total amount of energy used by the building on an annual basis is approximately equal to the amount of renewable energy produced therein.
E2VENT aims to develop, demonstrate and validate a system of low cost, high energy and low CO2 emissions related to the rehabilitation of residential and commercial buildings, able to reach the standard levels retrofit NZEB, through the integration of a system ventilated façade innovative and adaptable. The system includes smart recovery units and modular heat, photovoltaic generation units with high efficiency, suitable for inexpensive and easy to install external thermal insulation and energy efficient HVAC systems (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) products.
The technologies developed will be integrated into the ventilated façade with an intelligent management system facade real-time monitor the functioning of applying methods of weather prediction to anticipate the demands of heat and power system. And all this ensuring comfort levels required by building codes of the member states, at an affordable price.
The expected impact through comprehensive use of ventilated facade is getting an energy saving of over 40% and a reduction of at least 40% of CO2 emissions.
The project, duration is 42 months, and has a total budget of € 3,402,789 financed 100% by the European Union. UBU's budget amounts to € 126,750 and its main contribution is conducting a pilot implementation and monitoring of new facades taking place in the buildings of the former Hospital del Rey, to compare the energy efficiency of innovative façade system compared to traditional systems.
These activities will be developed by the Technology, Building, Construction and Architecture Research Group, (GITECA) of UBU, whose coordinator is José Manuel Gonzalez Martín.
E2VENT is led by the French company NOBATEK and, in addition to the University of Burgos, the following entities are part of the consortium: the Spanish ACCIONA, TECNALIA, CARTIF and PICH, the Italian D'Appolonia, the Greek ELVAL and Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Czech FENIX, the Belgian European Aluminium Association, the Polish PREFASADA and the British University of Hull.
