User-centric and data-driven retrofitting solutions for a resilient, energy-efficient, low emission and inclusive cultural heritage.
Goal
The main goal of the HERIT4AGES project is to develop and validate a set of technical and socially innovative sustainable energy and resource-efficient solutions, for the cost-effective improvement and preservation of the cultural heritage buildings.
Funding
The HERIT4AGES project is funded by the European Union in the Climate, Energy and Mobility programme under Grant Agreement No. 101123175.
Team
The project is coordinated by University College Cork - National University of Ireland, with participation from 11 partners across various European countries.
Concept
OUR SOLUTIONS
Integrated solutions
for heritage innovation
A suite of complementary tools and technologies
designed to preserve, enhance and future-proof cultural heritage.
A methodology and framework related to the inclusion of social innovation processes and co-creation focused on the improvement of cultural heritage buildings.
A smart monitoring and heritage preventive conservation development combined with tailored tools covering the whole heritage built environment’s life cycle: design, renovation works, operation, monitoring and management, and maintenance.
