Renewables for clean energy buildings in a future power system
Res4Build
Overview
In the heart of the RES4BUILD solution lies an innovative multi-source heat pump with a cascading configuration, including a magnetocaloric (bottom cycle) and a vapour compression (top cycle) heat pump. This innovative heat pump will be combined with other technologies. Budget : € 4.99 M Partners : 15 Countries : 8

Results
Over the last four years the RES4BUILD team has been working hard to support the transition to a clean energy future, developing integrated renewable energy-based solutions and tailoring them to the needs of users and installers. The project aimed to increase the uptake of such solutions for heating and cooling in buildings. The results are very encouraging, and we expect that in a refurbished multifamily building the RES4BUILD systems could deliver a significant reduction of CO2 emissions compared to traditional solutions.
Project results to date include various scientific publications (journal articles), articles (popular science), media outpts (factsheets, press releases, videos), deliverables (open access project reports) and other (conference proceedings, presentations, thesis).
