RENOMIZE

Renovation with automation and optimization of processes and products

Overview
Anchor 1

Background

This EU-funded initiative, supported by CINEA - European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency as the granting authority, is set to transform the renovation process by introducing advanced solutions that streamline every stage - from design to end-of-life - achieving significant cost and time savings.

RENOMIZE's innovations include decision support tools for site preparation and technology integration, optimized process planning, and automated systems for anchor and panel placement. These solutions will undergo rigorous testing and demonstrations in Switzerland, Spain, Estonia, France, and Belgium to ensure their effectiveness and promote widespread adoption.


GEM will share and contribute knowledge on risk-informed approaches to integrate resilience into renovation practices.


Duration: 2025 - 2028

Objectives

RENOMIZE presents well-selected innovations in the processes and products for the full renovation trajectory from ideation, over-delivery, maintenance and end-of-life. Building on an impressive experience in the field, the following innovations have been put forward:


  • Decision support tools for optimisation of building site preparations, integration of balconies and overhangs, and for the integration and selection of HVAC and RES technology;

  • Optimisation of the process planning using advancements to spatiotemporal planning;

  • Development of an improved anchoring system and panel-panel connections, optimised for automized non-sequential mounting, de/re-mounting;

  • Self-positioning system and end-effectors thereon to support autonomous anchor and panel placement;

  • Phased optimisation of the factory automation for cost reduction and quality improvement.


These innovations will lead to cost savings beyond the aimed 25% and considerable time savings. Elaborate testing for disruptive events is previewed in Switzerland and Spain, while 4 complementary demonstrations will be delivered in Estonia, Switzerland, France, and Belgium.


Stakeholders are engaged from the project's onset, and wider uptake is actively integrated into RENOMIZE’s concept through certification, technical assistance and various capacity-building activities.
