Coherent Acceptable Low Emission Cultural Heritage Efficient Renovation
The CALECHE project presents innovative solutions in various fields, including approaches that aesthetically integrate photovoltaics into buildings and advancements in insulation materials specifically designed to meet the essential needs of historic buildings regarding humidity regulation. It also promotes resource circularity and reduces the overall carbon footprint. CALECHE is developing a dedicated method as a decision tool to guide and encourage more circularity and help reduce the overall carbon footprint, aligning renovations with sustainable practices.
User-centric and data-driven retrofitting solutions for a resilient, energy-efficient, low emission and inclusive cultural heritage.
The main goal of the HERIT4AGES project is to develop and validate a set of technical and socially innovative sustainable energy and resource-efficient solutions, for the cost-effective improvement and preservation of the cultural heritage buildings. The HERIT4AGES project showcases various demonstration sites that represent diverse geographical areas with unique local conditions like climate, social dynamics, and economic status. The solutions will be verified first in a Heritage Testing lab located in the Romanesque hermitage of Canduela in Spain (1). Solutions will be then implemented in Heritage Living labs located at Posada Santa MarĂa la Real in Spain (2), Korporatsioon Vironia in Estonia (3), Engineering Building at the University of Bologna in Italy (4), and social housing in Funchal (Madeira), Portugal (5).
Next Generation Solutions for Sustainable, Inclusive, Resource-efficient and Resilient Cultural Heritage
INHERIT is an EU-co-funded project that addresses the challenges concerning the preservation, restoration, and management of cultural heritage buildings. Its goal is to foster their environmental and social sustainability while preserving their cultural heritage value. INHERIT uses an integrated methodology based on social, scientific, and technological processes, including 11 ICT-based services that will be demonstrated in 8 cultural heritage sites across Europe.
