1 WHAT PLACE FOR ECO-MATERIALS AND BIO-BASED SOLUTIONS IN EU RESEARCH POLICIES? Anne-Claire Streck Policy & Project Officer

2 Overview of the presentation 1) Eco-efficient construction & building materials research 2) Eco-material & bio-based solutions in Horizon ) EU research on track: EeB PPP projects (FP7 & H2020) 4) Key topics for Work Programme ) Outlook for FP9: industry perspective Materials addressing climate change Materials & circular economy Materials ensuring health & comfort

3 1) Eco-efficient construction & building materials research Materials for energy efficiency Eco-efficient thermal insulators Materials for mitigating building cooling needs Materials with lower-embodied energy Materials capable of reusing a high waste content Source: F. Pacheco-Torgal, 2014

4 2) Eco-material & bio-based solutions in Horizon 2020 Development of eco-materials & bio-based solutions fitted well on the Horizon 2020 sustainability targets EEB : Materials for building enveloppe EEB : Highly efficient insulation materials with improved properties EEB : New technologies and strategies for the development of prefabricated elements through the reuse & recycling of construction materials and structures

5 3) EU research on track: EeB PPP projects within FP7 ECO-SEE Conference June 29th 2017

6 4) EU research on track: EeB PPP projects within Horizon 2020 Solutions for massive renovation of the built environment by developing use of recycled high-grade secondary raw materials into novel multilayer precast concrete Environmentally friendly multi-functional smart cladding solution, to be used as an ecological alternative to the current cladding and ventilated façade systems. The panels will be fabricated recycling cement, bricks, mortars, glass and wood reaching. Embed the waste from building demolition in a geopolymer matrix to produce prefabricated panels for different use. Development of insulating concrete systems based on novel low CO2 binders for a new family of eco-innovative, durable and standardised energy efficient envelope components.

7 5) Key topics for Work Programme Integration of energy smart materials in non-residential buildings Development of lightweight pilot components based on high-efficiency insulation materials leading to achieving recyclable building envelopes (roofs, facades). Promote the use of renewable sources Respect of sustainability principles & possibility of reuse at the end of the life cycle Integrated storage systems for residential buildings Use of high energy density storage materials Combination of renewable energy with storage

8 6) Outlook for FP9 ( ): industry perspective Materials is expected to play a very significant role in FP9, mostly as horizontal item covering different industries and EU priority areas ECTP Materials & Sustainability Committee is developing a position paper to support the EC in preparing FP9 (publication in September 2017) Social issues that can be addressed by eco-materials: climate change, circular economy & resource preservation, health & safety

9 a) Materials addressing climate change Engage into R&D on: Low CO2 emitting material solutions Enhanced insulation solutions High insulation materials with enhanced durability to be considered in the design phase Energy capture & storage materials Certifying materials performance in-use, including increasing demands for environmental products declaration

10 b) Materials & circular economy Resource efficiency approach can be combined with circular economy approach New construction materials based on recycling, eco-design, reuse and cascaded use of materials Increase the use of secondary raw materials Recover, recycle, re-manufacture, re-use

11 c) Materials ensuring health & comfort Indoor Environmental Quality: IAQ, ventilation, lighting comfort and noise level are key Development of functionalized envelopes (e.g. coatings with shelf-properties such as selfcleaning/microbiological action for healthcare buildings) Ensure these materials do not emit VOCs or harmful substances (dust, particulates, biological and chemical)
