AKKA Technologies SE are collaborating within PROBONO. The ambition for sustainable and green buildings across Europe has encountered a number of barriers such as high upfront construction costs, access to capital, social attitudes, lack of information, experience and incentives, amongst others. To answer these challenges, the PROBONO project envisions a people-focused European construction industry working in harmony with the broader community of stakeholders. Here, public authorities and citizens are involved with the purpose to deliver scalable, sustainable, and viable energy positive and zero-carbon green buildings and neighborhoods. PROBONO’s aim is to provide validated solutions for the design, construction, and operation of new and/or retrofitted zero-pollution and positive energy buildings as part of sustainable green neighbourhood developments. These solutions will be piloted across six EU states where living labs will be established. More specifically, these living labs, linked to business and municipality greening plans, will include two municipality driven large-scale demonstrators (Madrid and Dublin) and four living labs representing business/owner promoters of the green buildings and neighborhoods’ transition (Porto, Brussels, Aarhus, Prague). These local initiatives will enable PROBONO to not only provide strong examples on how technological and social innovations related to green buildings and neighborhoods can be applied, but also contribute evidence-based policy recommendations, standardization actions, and robust adoption and commercialisation strategies in order to enhance wide-scale adoption and standard creation. Having a systems-based approach to the buildings’ infrastructure and a focus on people and sustainability, the project will fully exploit digitalization and smart technologies for the benefit of society.
