Innovative environmental technologies including design concepts and materials for the reduction of damage to the environment New concepts and materials to reduce environmental impacts of the built environment (such as consumption of water, energy, raw materials; land-use; generation of noise, vibration, waste and; negative impacts on quality of air, soil or water), without loss of performance. Consideration may be given amongst others to new technologies such as biomaterials, or new construction products that facilitate recycling and the deconstruction of buildings and infrastructure, etc. In addition, the projects should develop harmonised environmental product assessment methods, (performance indicators for materials and buildings; development of performance rating systems for materials and buildings, databases and tools for the environmental assessment of construction products.

51. FA - Quality of Life WG1 – Reducing Environmental impacts Topic 1B. Low Building Consumption – reuse and retrofit. The objectives of the research will be focused on breaking existing barriers that at this moment are delaying the implementation of technological innovations that are necessary to reduce resource consumption (energy, water, materials...) in existing buildings and built environments. Mechanisms for promotion of efficient building retrofit must be considered under this topic. The change from not efficient existing building to low resource buildings will require new technological developments for building retrofitting focused on energy efficiency, water balance improvement, materials consumption reduction.

52. FA - Quality of Life WG1 – Reducing Environmental impacts Topic 1B. Low Building Consumption – reuse and retrofit. These technological development should involve new retroffiting components but also new machinery, tools and building process that will increase the usability, adaptation, flexibility and improvement of existing buildings. At urban level it is necessary to develop new planning strategies and solutions in which architectonical and urban concepts are integrated in such a way that building functionalities (current and emerging) are perfectly integrated into a urban framework where building resources (energy, water, land...) and building impacts (waste production, waste water) are minimized and managed in an efficient way.
