BuildUPspeed – Introducing a Market Activation Platform to accelerate the deep renovation of Europe’s building stock through high-quality, industrialized renovation solutions

The overall aim of BuildUPspeed is to accelerate the volume and depth of deep renovation of the EU building stock, supporting the EU renovation wave, by introducing and implementing a Market Activation Platform, specifically for the promotion and implementation of industrialized renovation solutions. BuildUPspeed builds upon and capitalizes the results and outcomes from relevant H2020 projects on deep renovation, specifically projects and actions on prefabrication, BIM adaption for renovation and industry 4.0. Moreover, BuildUPspeed will build upon the legacy, the approach and the results of several chapters of the ‘Energiesprong’ initiative.

BuildUPspeed will achieve this by the following key pillars.

• Clustering of efforts and evidences to capitalize
  
  • key outputs on industrialized solutions, both on products and on processes, from relevant EU projects;
    
  • key outputs on Building Information Modelling (BIM), adapted to efficient renovation, from relevant EU projects;
    
  • with regard to the approach and evidences developed in the frame of the Energiesprong program from the Netherlands, France, Italy;

• Digitalization of the above mentioned key outputs to make them attractive to end-users and industries, easily accessible in a virtual Market
  
• Activation Hub, by means of an online open source platform;
  Introducing the concept of fully automated ‘Local’ or ‘Pop-up’ factories and their implemention as pilot projects in a number of countries involved in BuildUPspeed.

Offering attractive and easy to understand information on the evidence based performance of renovated buildings for users and owners is meant to show the potential of industrialized solutions in order to reduce the performance gap both on energy and indoor environmental quality with regard to currently used renovation solutions.
