The Institute of Construction Technology (ITeC), part of the MEZeroE consortium, is hosting a briefing session on January 30, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, for their innovative postgraduate course in Digital Sustainability in Construction. Developed in collaboration with the UPC School, this pioneering program addresses the urgent need for sustainable construction practices in the face of climate change and energy transition. The session, available in person and via streaming, will detail the course's curriculum and approach.
ITEC, member of the MEZeroE consortium, has launched TCQ 6.1 in 2024, a groundbreaking tool in the construction sector's pursuit of sustainability and digitalization. This innovative version enables efficient management of carbon footprint and embedded energy in construction materials, catering to projects with or without BIM models. TCQ 6.1 integrates with Open BIM formats and connects with the BEDEC database, ensuring accurate environmental impact analysis and sustainable project optimization.
We're excited to present the 3rd edition of MEZeroE magazine, focusing on new developments in construction and innovation. This edition highlights the completion of measurement and verification lines, the launch of open innovation services, and the upcoming digital platform. It features the progress of pilot lines and the development of eight Living Labs, which will be operational by early 2024. Additionally, the magazine previews the MEZeroE digital innovation platform, a future hub for construction professionals.
A guide toward European Conformity marking
If your product needs the certification of its construction, this clear path will guide the manufacturer through it. Focus steps will be identified to understand the generic process of certification, the case for CE marking and at last the specific path to obtain a national approval.
A digital outcome from product characterization
The customer will be aware of the digital outcomes that can result from characterization, testing, certification and LCA/LCC assessment of their products. Experts will explain what is the present digital ecosystem, the different digital expressions of a construction product and the supporting methods for the digital transition.
Products development toward cross-sectorial contaminations
A new product, that needs additional competences to be completed, will be supported in its development and will be pushed with this service in proximity sectors. A pull of mentors and experts will help you to fix open gaps and will support the client by suggesting other sectors and other communities that could help bridging the gap, also making suggestions from MEZeroE ecosystem.
Developing innovative products with a new technological and methodological tool
A technology roadmapping process will support companies to develop innovative products and find partners to handle innovative projects. The main aim is to let complementary companies work together discovering and developing new technologies.
A valuable convincing business model for your innovative product
The overall objective of this service is to support companies with their innovative products for the first application in the market.
