From a scientific point of view, ISOBIO partners aim at assessing and further advancing the state-of-the-art in bio-based insulation materials, amongst others. Whereas from a technological perspective, the focus is on developing new sustainable construction materials that, through a series of prototype-level demonstrations, will show significant social, environmental and financial benefits for the sector.
The main goals to achieve are:
- a 50% reduction in embodied energy and CO2 emissions;
- a decrease of 15% of the costs;
- to improve by 20% insulation properties compared to conventional materials;
- and to save 5% of energy over the lifetime of a building.
ISOBIO thinks that by doing so, the competitiveness of the European construction sector in the field of “green” construction technologies will be strengthened.
