Abstract

The construction sector is facing extraordinary challenges, as in 2020 all new buildings will have to reach the “nearly zero energy” standard. This paper presents the main findings of the Smart-ECO research project, funded by the European Commission to define a vision of sustainable buildings in twenty years time and the innovations required to implement it. The paper will also introduce the practical results of three different research works about components for energy-efficient buildings, showing how fibre-cement products can be fully integrated in innovative solutions. A demonstrative building in Italy, designed and realised as a part of a research project, finally shows some of these innovative components applied in practice.
