Objectives

1. Model and assess envelope renovation designs using circular bio-based systems by considering cross-impacts towards both reduction of environmental impacts and increase building energy performances;

​

2. Identify potential recycled materials for urban furniture to redesign production processes;

​​

3. Develop an urban furniture prototype in each participating country, using recycled building material and incorporating a solar PV, recycled battery storage, and micro-grid energy hubs (nodes) for the optimized energy flow in a PED or LEC context;

 

4. Collaborate with different stakeholders to co-create a potential roadmap for smart urban furniture as the new standard in the case of integrated circular-economy-based renovation projects able to perceive the solution not just as a stand-alone element, but as a valuable intervention fostering PED and LEC diffusion and having the role of social coagulant.
