Significant Progress in EASI ZERo’s Sustainable Building Renovation Efforts

The recent EASI ZERo consortium meeting in Karlstadt, Germany, marked an important milestone after 1.5 years of progress in developing innovative solutions for energy-efficient building renovation. Representing Leitat, Carlos Larraz Giganto and Ana Escobar Romero joined 16 European partners to assess the project’s advances and strategize the upcoming phases. The team highlighted the collaborative power of European partnerships in creating sustainable technologies for the construction sector.

Innovations in Bio-based and Nanotech-Enabled Insulation

Partners presented advances in sustainable materials designed to reduce construction’s carbon footprint, including bio-based insulation panels, functional coatings, and nanotechnology-enhanced materials like waterglass foam. These solutions are developed with low-carbon principles in mind, using resources such as wood, mycelium, and recycled construction waste to increase building thermal performance.

Focus on Scalability and Real-World Application

The project now moves into the scaling and demonstration phase, where materials will be tested to validate their effectiveness in improving energy performance and user comfort. Partners aim to showcase how these eco-friendly materials can be integrated into practical building renovations, helping reduce emissions while enhancing comfort.

The EASI ZERo team expresses its gratitude to Sievert SE for hosting the event and providing a valuable site tour of their plant, which offered additional insights for the project’s future implementations.
