CTB Basics: CleanTechBlock
– Sustainable Multi-functional Building Block Basics Reference: M-ERA-NET2/0017/2016 Coordinator at ADAI-LAETA: Fausto Freire Proponent Institution: Srečo D. Škapin (Jožef Stefan Institute,
Slovenia) Projects
Partners: Jožef Stefan Institute

entity: M-ERA.NET/FCT | M-ERA-NET2/0017/2016 Funding:
425 884 € Project Objectives The overall objective of
the project is to reveal all the benefits in terms of sustainability and
further potential for the development of the already-proven concept of CTB. Building on already achieved results in terms of the development,
testing and demonstrating of the design and process, the specific objectives
of the proposed project are (i) to develop and
experimentally validate a model of the heat-transfer in foam glass, which
will enable us to identify further possibilities to decrease the thermal
conductivity; (ii) to prepare a model of heat and moisture transfer through
the CTB wall for the simulation and optimization of the CTB structure for
different climatic regions and building standards; (iii) to perform a
lifecycle assessment of the CTB element and the CTB building solution in
order to reveal the sustainability of the CTB concept. The project
consortium acts in complementary fields and the teams are well qualified to
achieve the main objective of the project. The project is
structured in 5 work packages (WPs) that cover the preparation and
characterization of foam-glass samples with different characteristics, the
preparation of an experimentally validated heat-transfer model in foam glass,
the optimization of foam-glass insulation properties, the preparation of a
model of the CTB wall and an evaluation of heat and humidity transfer through
the wall, and a lifecycle sustainability assessment of the foam glass and the
CTB solution. An additional work package (WP0) is
dedicated to management, dissemination and exploitation of the results
to maximize the impact. ADAI will participate mainly in 2 WPs: WP0 –
Management and WP5 - Life cycle environmental sustainability and circular
economy assessment (coordinator of WP5). Research Team CIE-ADAI Fausto Miguel Cereja Seixas Freire Carla Rodrigues Vanessa Tavares |
