    The InnoWEE Project has developed innovative materials from construction and demolition waste (CDW) for the manufacture of technologies that increase the energy efficiency of buildings.

    It is a bilateral approach as use of a recycled product also addresses the reduction of energy demand in the construction sector. The talk will include the project's main achievements.

    • Obtaining raw materials from CDW: concrete, brick, glass and wood.
    • Manufacture of technologies for the insulation of façades (EIFS and ventilated cladding) and radiant systems.
    • Building energy simulation (BEM): assessment of InnoWEE innovative products applied to renovation.
    • High thermal performance and low environmental impact empirical results.
    • A competitive manufacturing and installation process.
    • New profitable and sustainable business opportunity.
    • Practical videos of the production chain of these geopolymer panels will be presented, showing the feasibility of products based in the circular economy.
