Challenges we are solving

  • What emerging technologies (e.g. AI tools for circularity, carbon-storing materials, smart grid integration) could redefine the building operations of existing buildings?
  • How can innovation in low-carbon materials, circular solutions, and energy optimization drive scalable impact across both embodied and operational carbon phases of buildings?
  • How to bring diverse ecosystem partners within existing buildings together to achieve net-zero building operations?

We are aiming to:

Research and prototype new sustainable materials. Assess feasibility and scalability for volume production of novel low-carbon material solutions and automate emissions calculations and tracking in the full chain.

Find solutions to further reduce buildings' lifetime energy consumption. Innovate new energy saving solutions with building owners and users. Prototype new technologies to optimize building energy use.

Assess the opportunities in building-level carbon reduction, implementat proof-of-concepts, and evaluate commercial value. Integrate building usage data with smart building systems.
