An EU project has developed a nanostructured material that offers incredible insulation and improved indoor air quality. It is now being tested as a readily usable building product.
The EU-funded BRIMEE (Cost-effective and sustainable Bio-Renewable Indoor Materials with high potential for customisation and creative design in Energy Efficient buildings) project, which was launched in July 2013, has developed better performing insulation materials for improving building energy performances, reducing operational energy and absorbing indoor pollutants. Testing in real life conditions is currently underway. The project will demonstrate the innovation through two demo buildings located in different climatic zones, Spain and the Czech Republic.
