InCUBE

InCUBE brings together 23 high-profile partners and two affiliated entities from 7 EU countries, envisioning to unlock the EU renovation wave through cutting-edge standardized, lean integrated processes based on 4 key pillars of innovation: 1) Industrialization: Off-site manufactured solutions including the use of robots (e.g., demolition, telescopic cranes, drilling and waste sorting), so far applied only in industrial environments, offering novel services (e.g., anti-collision, area boundary, waste tracking); 2) Novel self-RES power producing and storage technologies, products and environmentally friendly materials (e.g. low GWP-refrigerant heat pumps); 3) Digitalization: Dynamic Digital Twins of both products and buildings, utilizing immersive capturing techniques (e.g., Laser 3D scanners and Drones), digitally merging innovative manufacturing processes with BIMs, and; 4) New market entrants, organized under novel business models, to allow for increased levels of collaboration and productivity. The InCUBE Suite, integrates digital tools across all 4 pillars, enables for seamless coordination of different renovation phases while leveraging data streaming from multiple interoperable sources to accommodate tenants comfort and render buildings active energy nodes in the synergetic energy networks paradigm of the future. Solutions will be validated in 3 large-scale demo sites in 3 countries (IT, ES, NL). Key expected outcomes include among others: Reduction of waste streams and time needed on-site by, renovation cost reduction, reduction of working time with hazardous activities ,energy savings , GHG reductions, achieving an energy performance gap between as-built and as-designed, and creation of 2 RECs encompassing. All while accounting for social inclusion, upskilling and enhancement of women’s role in the construction industry.
