The project developed a novel building envelope renovation solution 3D-printed with recycled plastics, beyond the scope of only increasing building energy efficiency and decreasing CO2 emissions. The ZeroSkin+ project was developed holistically between four research institutes: ISISE, CMEMS, ALGORITMI, and IPC, to achieve a building renovation solution that addresses the urgent building renovation needs and plastic waste in the environment. The holistic development comprises building seismic retrofit, integration with sensors and renewable energy sources, and BIM optimisation.
The ZeroSkin+ project improves building efficiency through improving its thermal performance, saving energy and helping the environment
Our goal was to find the best ways to use recycled plastics in the process. This way, we can make renovations more sustainable and eco-friendly
