The Sustainable Places 2024 event, a prominent event showcasing innovative solutions for climate neutrality, energy efficiency, and sustainability in the built environment, featured a workshop led by the EU-funded BIO4EEB project, in which EBC is a partner.
BIO4EEB is an Horizon Europe project that aims to develop bio-based insulation materials, such as seagrass panels and sprayable foams, designed to enhance energy performance in buildings. This project is being demonstrated across five real pilot cases, including sites in France and Spain.
Circular and Bio-based building solutions workshop – 2nd Edition
The 2nd Edition of the “Circular and Bio-based Building Solutions Workshop” workshop brought together a diverse set of EU-funded projects to Luxembourg, each working on innovative bio-based materials and circularity-oriented construction solutions.
Among the participating projects were BIO4EEB, EASI ZERo, REINCARNATE, DeCO2, W2W, and MEZeroE. These projects are tackling different aspects of sustainable products and materials, from their development and application to their environmental impact and performance in real-world building scenarios. During the workshop, experts discussed how bio-based building materials contribute to lower embodied energy, reduce carbon emissions, and save resources, with a great deal of potential yet to be exploited. One of the key themes was the versatility of these materials: bio-based products are renewable, biodegradable, and offer additional benefits such as improving indoor air quality. The discussions emphasized how bio-based materials can be integrated into building renovation processes to improve energy efficiency while reducing environmental impact.
EBC’s role in dissemination activities
In BIO4EEB, EBC is responsible for dissemination activities, ensuring that the innovations and findings from the projects reach effectively relevant stakeholders, including policymakers, construction SMEs, buildings professionals, and the general public. EBC’s salutes the collaboration and knowledge exchange among various EU-funded projects, which fosters a collective movement towards a more sustainable and energy-efficient built environment.
