SMART-NRG
Solutions for constructions and bulding MAteRials based on The eNeRGy absorption

To address the dangers of climate change, countries and organisations are adopting green solutions that reduce emissions and minimise environmental damage throughout value chains. Building operations and maintenance often require significant electricity, water, and heating and cooling resources, leading to substantial emissions. Therefore, sustainable solutions for energy storage in construction are urgently needed. Supported by Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA), the SMART-NRG project aims to develop and optimise phase change materials (PCMs) made from biomass as a sustainable solution for thermal energy storage in buildings. The project will tackle challenges related to PCMs’ low thermal conductivity and leakage, leading to lower energy consumption and emissions.
