Recover IND RecoverIND (Ecological and Innovative Technologies for Recovering Industrial Areas from LCA and Energy Efficiency Point of View) is a project funded by the Erasmus+ program that aims to deepen the interconnection between energy efficiency, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), and the use of advanced technologies for building design and the rehabilitation of the construction sector. The project also seeks to improve knowledge in the education sector, addressing the need for better integration of these concepts in educational curricula. RecoverIND (Ecological and Innovative Technologies for recovering industrial areas from LCA and Energy Efficiency point of view) is a project funded by the Erasmus + program and aims to deepen the interconnection between energy efficiency, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and the use of advanced technologies for building design and rehabilitation of the construction sector, with the need to improve knowledge in the education sector. The project is developed on the basis of an international partnership consisting of three entities from Romania and four from Spain and Poland: Transilvania University of Brasov (UTB) which is the initiator and leader of the project, VIITOR Foundation for Vocational Training and Pre-University Education, Romania Green Association Building Council (RoGBC), Research Association of the Marble, Stone and Materials Technology Center (CTM) - Spain, University of Seville - Spain, Zespol Szkol Budownictwa Nr. 1 - Poland and Politechnika Poznanska in Poznan - Poland. The creation of an innovative training methodology that brings together the three main axes of the project, Industrial Restoration - ICT (Information Technology) - Energy Efficiency, can lead to overcoming the difficulties faced today by part of the construction sector. New technologies applicable to the conversion and restoration of industrial areas are emerging every day. Therefore, the project plans to provide training in systems such as collaborative robotics or the use of drones, which will allow the target groups of the project to adapt to new management systems and new production processes. The training of both students and professionals becomes essential to take advantage of the interoperability offered by ICT with equipment and software for EE and LCA assessment for industrial restoration.

SMARTER Finance for Families is a Horizon 2020 project to implement ambitious yet practical Green Homes & Green Mortgage programs in Romania and other 11 European countries. SMARTER Finance For Families Improving the well-being of European citizens by providing opportunities for the financial and construction sectors to create green housing. Green financing is an important and developing trend aimed at increasing investment in environmentally and socially responsible projects while reducing the financial risk associated with loans for these projects. This concept creates a huge opportunity to positively transform the health and environmental performance, quality, comfort, and financial viability of new and existing homes in Europe. SMARTER Finance for Families is a European Horizon 2020 project that aims to implement a series of ambitious and practical Green Homes & Green Mortgage programs in 12 European countries, with the participation and collaboration of 17 experts in green building, sustainable energy, research, and other organizations. Organizations from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Georgia, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey, and Ukraine are participating in this complex project. The project uses comprehensive certifications for Green Homes to evaluate and recognize top-performing residential projects that incorporate sustainable construction principles. Evidence from financial and technical modeling has shown that investments in energy efficiency and other green building attributes for homes: Improves the quality of housing Reduces the total monthly cost of ownership for the homeowner Helps increase sales prices for the project developer/investor Substantially reduce the financial risk for the financial institution offering the mortgage The existing program includes over 44 projects, representing 10,000 certified or in-process housing units. “Through the SMARTER Finance for Families project, we bring an innovative and systemic solution to a systemic problem. We are creating significant opportunities for the financial sector and construction to deliver the green performance we need for Europe's citizens and their homes." - Steven Borncamp, Project Director, SMARTER RELEVANT STAKEHOLDERS In addition to improving the lives of citizens, the program addresses the needs of residential project developers, financial institutions that offer residential mortgages, institutional investors, and companies that provide services, products, materials, technologies, and other solutions that contribute to the construction and proper functioning of the greenest and high-performance residential projects. Representatives of national and local governments and associations promoting environmental, energy efficiency, and/or better housing are invited to learn more about how this program facilitates the improvement of building standards. This is relevant both for those in the participating countries and for those interested in learning about bringing this initiative to their internal market.

The OERCO2 project aims at creating an Open Educational Resource (OERCO2) that unifies the calculations of CO2 emissions in each phase of the building construction, to get an overall picture of the footprint of the building, starting with conception. Innovative study on the life cycle analysis of construction materials Romania Green Building Council was part of the Open Educational Resource (OERCO2) project alongside Transilvania University of Brașov and partners from Italy, Spain, and Portugal, under the coordination of the University of Seville. The project spanned two years and was funded through the European Union's ERASMUS+ Program. The project's goal was to create an "open source" evaluation system for analyzing the life cycle of materials. The system includes data on calculating CO2 emissions for each phase of a construction project, allowing anyone to evaluate the environmental impact of a building, including its carbon footprint, and to make informed decisions about the materials used in the design and execution of a construction project. The evaluation system is available on an online platform with free access (https://co2tool.oerco2.eu/ro-RO ), which also helps raise awareness about CO2 emissions and climate change among construction professionals, academics, researchers, students, public administration, and citizens. OERCO2 aims not only to raise awareness but also to ensure that all entities involved in the construction sector become aware of the impact of CO2 emissions—from the extraction of raw materials for construction to the demolition or deconstruction of buildings—taking into account the life cycle of materials and construction technologies. It is crucial to consider CO2 emissions from the earliest phases of construction, when decisions are made regarding the materials used, their transportation, implementation technologies, and how the building will be used throughout its life. This approach successfully contributes to reducing CO2 emissions in the construction sector. DETAILS
