LGA_2702-HDR
This demo case consists of the innovative renovation of two twin residential buildings. One building is being upgraded with advanced INFINITE prefabricated facades, while the other uses traditional methods. This comparison aims to evaluate life cycle costs, life cycle assessments, installation time, user feedback, consumption, and performance. The prefabricated approach includes high-performance facade panels, a new lightweight wooden roof with integrated BIPV tiles, and prefabricated balconies with embedded ventilation units. The renovation also incorporates glass-glass colored BIPV panels, BIST cladding, and smart glazing windows. Extensive monitoring pre- and post-renovation provide detailed data on the efficiency and effectiveness of the prefabricated solutions.

Renovated two storey building in Tuscany

Italy

facade building renovated athens greece
The site once hosted Voula’s aqueduct, active from WWII’s end until the mid-1960s, when the municipality connected to Athens’ main water network (EIDAP). The old aqueduct buildings were demolished, and the land was sold to the Kalogeratou family, who built three apartments in 1971. In 2010, the property was donated to the VVV Municipality, which now uses it to house elderly residents and low-income families. Maintenance has been handled by the Technical Department, though limited funding during Greece’s 2010–2019 crisis caused structural and system deterioration. The building has reinforced concrete foundations, frame, floors, and roof, brick masonry walls, balconies, cement plaster finishes, mixed wood and aluminum openings, and minimal insulation.

Spain

renovated building timber wood panel
The retrofit project involves a small multi-family building (2 storeys) and 8 apartments, built in 1975. The envelope, façade and roof, has been entirely retrofitted.The building’s façade has been renovated using prefabricated modules with integrated high-performance technologies. The approach minimized disruption for residents by enabling work to be completed within a very tight timeframe. The renovation was carried out as part of the European project H2020 4RinEU.

The prefabricated panels used are timber-frame façade elements designed for a quick and efficient installation. Each panel is custom-sized to fit the building’s geometry. These panels integrate multiple layers, including thermal insulation, smart glazing windows, and ventilation units, enabling a high-performance envelope. The panels are engineered for quick on-site assembly, up to 180 m² per day, and are anchored to the existing structure after partial removal of the outer brick layer.

Timber Prefabricated Multifunctional Façade

deep retrofit timber panel building
The façade elements are made of a solid wood exterior cladding based on slow-grown thermo-treated pine (heat treatment to improve timber stability). In the elements, both the OSB board on the inner surface and the outside wind barrier provide airtight layers within the building envelope.New energy efficient windows are integrated in the façade.
