RecoverIND (eng.)

Ecological and innovative technologies for the remediation of industrial sites from the point of view of building life cycle and energy efficiency

The rapid increase in energy consumption worldwide has resulted in increasingly stringent environmental regulations. This is also observed in recent European directives, which lead to a reduction in the environmental impact of energy and an increase in energy efficiency.

The construction industry has a major impact on the environment. The construction sector is responsible for 36% of the world's final energy consumption and almost 40% of the total direct and indirect CO2 emissions. There is therefore a need to start calculating these emissions and the environmental impact of both new and existing buildings.

Industrial plants use energy intensive systems for heating, ventilation, air conditioning, lighting etc. Industrial buildings play an important role in the use of energy and natural resources.

It is important to start implementing carbon footprint analyses in the education sector, research on material efficiency in industrial areas through life cycle assessment and the use of renewable energy sources to meet the energy needs of industrial buildings.
The need for energy renovation of industrial buildings will help a lot in implementing in education the use of new technologies such as thermal imaging cameras, laser scanners and drones, the combination of BIM and LCA.
