ProbonoH2020

🚀 Exciting news from the ProbonoH2020 project! 🌍✨ As part of Work Package 6 “Monitoring and evaluation of the project’s Living Labs”, Task 6.3 “Monitoring program definition and associated execution plan”, we've developed a comprehensive Monitoring Plan for our Living Labs. 🏢🔍 Led by CARTIF and with the Living Labs as main contributors, this crucial document outlines our strategy for tracking and evaluating the performance, sustainability, and efficiency of our innovative green building solutions across six Living Labs. 🏘️🔋 The Monitoring Plan details the methods, tools 🛠️, and timelines 📅 we will use in the project to collect and analyse data, ensuring our project goals for #EnergyEfficiency ⚡, #Sustainability 🌱, and #GBN 🌐 are met. It includes specific monitoring activities for construction and operational phases, tailored to each Living Lab's unique context. By systematically collecting data on key performance indicators (KPIs) 📈 selected and defined as part of the PROBONO Evaluation Framework, we can assess the real-world impact of our technologies and strategies, driving continuous improvement and ensuring that our solutions deliver maximum benefits.🌟 Learn more👇 https://lnkd.in/dHta5E_D Stay tuned for more updates on how we're transforming urban environments and advancing the future of Green Building Neighbourhoods!🏢🌿 #GreenBuildings #Innovation #Horizon2020 #GreenBuildingNeighbourhood #SustainableDevelopment #BuildingTheFuture #EvaluationFramework #KPI

[PT] No final de junho, iniciámos a operação de uma instalação experimental de painéis bifaciais, uma iniciativa do ProbonoH2020. Esta instalação está situada no SONAE Campus, no Green Energy Lab, um espaço dedicado à inovação e experimentação nas áreas de energia e sustentabilidade.   Este projeto piloto visa testar o impacto da utilização de uma cobertura refletora “Cool Roof” na produção fotovoltaica. A instalação possui 26 painéis bifaciais, com uma potência total de 10kWp e foi desenvolvida em parceria com a SOPREMA Portugal e SOPREMA France, empresas que fazem parte do consórcio PROBONO e que desenvolveram o revestimento refletor.   Este projeto, que decorre até ao final de 2026, representa um passo importante na procura por soluções eficientes e sustentáveis de energia.

"The greenest energy is the energy we don’t use and therefore don’t have to produce." 💡 #Saveitforlater! 🌍 This is the mantra of ProbonoH2020 partner VisBlue – the Danish flow battery manufacturer, who’s committed to bringing green energy storage technologies to market that offer flexibility, stability, and security to an electrified green society. For a world in balance. 🌱⚡ As a partner of ProbonoH2020, VisBlue will be delivering two #VisFLOW60 batteries to #CampusViborg, which is one of the two #Aarhus Living Lab sites. 🔋🏫 Here, the #flowbatteries will be connected to the site’s solar panel park to store excess power and thus maximize its energy. ☀️🔋 By saving the #greenenergy for later, @Campus Viborg will not only reduce their energy bill, but also bring down #CO2 and improve their #environmental footprint. ⬇️🌿 #PROBONO #GreenBuildingNeighbourhood #H2020 Find the LCA, here: https://lnkd.in/dBHRSxrZ Aarhus University 

ProbonoH2020 is thrilled to have VisBlue as a partner! 🚀 “Working together across @EU to stimulate the transition to #netZERO and energy-positive buildings and neighborhoods, that is indeed meaningful.” - Søren Bødker, CEO at VisBlue. 💡 Our initial focus aligns perfectly with VisBlue’s DNA: 🏙️ Renovating existing urban buildings and locations in a resource and energy-efficient way. 🔧 Applying technology, business, and socio-economic innovations to stimulate a transition to net-zero and energy-positive buildings. 🌱 Building thriving and sustainable communities. “Therefore, it is a privilege to engage with partners such as COWI and Aarhus University to co-create a future-proof roadmap for #Campus2.0 that approaches not only one part of sustainability but all three, being Environmental, Social, and Governance #ESG.” - Søren Bødker. 🔋 VisBlue will be delivering two #flowbatteries to #Campus2.0 to store excess power from the new 10ha solar panels that are being installed independently of the PROBONO project. With an LCA showing a durability of +20 years and a recycling rate of 99%, the installation of #flowbatteries will help Campus2.0 reduce their CO2 and environmental footprint and life cycle costs. 🌍 “Technological advancements such as energy storage in #flowbatteries are key enablers to the green transition, not only for #Campus2.0 but for society at large. However, it’s only a part of the whole. To succeed, we need to work together to incorporate these technologies into the larger system; and that’s what sets the holistic and collaborative approach of @PROBONO apart from other projects.” - Søren Bødker. 📖 Read more 👇 https://lnkd.in/drZjejKg

Exciting News! 🌍🚀 At PROBONO, we've developed a pioneering drone-based method to map embedded CO₂ in existing buildings. By using drones and the NavVis VLX scanner, we're able to precisely measure and quantify the CO₂ stored in construction materials at Campus Viborg, part of the Aarhus Living Lab. This innovation helps predict and avoid new emissions by supporting the preservation or upcycling of existing materials, contributing to more sustainable building practices. 🌱♻️ Read more about how we're leading the way in sustainable construction and our latest advancements! 👇 https://lnkd.in/dtPtKVE4 #Sustainability #GreenBuildings #Innovation #DroneTechnology #CO2Mapping #PROBONO #AarhusLivingLab #CircularEconomy #ClimateAction #PROBONOH2020 #GBN COWI Aarhus University
