Overview
Funding for innovative prefabrication approaches that enable deep renovation of multi-storey buildings (>5 storeys) with minimal occupant disturbance, reduced costs, and improved energy efficiency. Targets consortia demonstrating scalable, adaptable solutions across different building types and EU countries.Who Can Apply
Consortia of legal entities (e.g., research institutions, SMEs, industry, public bodies) established in eligible EU Member States or Associated Countries. Third-country participation is possible under specific conditions.Funding Details
- Total budget: €93,000,000
- Funding type: Lump-sum grants
- Funding rate: Not specified (standard Horizon Europe rules apply)
- Co-funding: Not explicitly required, but projects must demonstrate cost-effectiveness
What Is Funded
- Development and demonstration of prefabricated, low-disturbance renovation solutions for multi-storey buildings (>5 storeys) to achieve at least Nearly Zero-Energy Building (NZEB) performance.
- Approaches covering the full workflow: design, off-site manufacturing, on-site installation, maintenance, operation, and end-of-life strategies.
- Solutions must be adaptable to diverse existing building elements (e.g., wall materials, balconies, piping) and minimise disruption to occupants (e.g., reduced construction time, noise, dust, and waste).
- Demonstration in three multi-storey buildings across different Member States/Associated Countries, covering residential and non-residential categories.
Technology / Maturity Requirements
- Technology Readiness Level (TRL): 4–6 (validation in lab to demonstration in relevant environment).
Key Dates
- Open date: 2026-05-04
