REV-UP is a European research and innovation project contributing to the European Commission’s goal of achieving Zero-Emission Buildings (ZEBs) for new buildings by 2030 and for the existing building stock by 2050. The project supports the transition of buildings from passive energy consumers to energy-efficient, connected and active participants in the energy system, in line with the European Green Deal, Fit for 55, REPowerEU, the Renovation Wave and the principles of the New European Bauhaus.
The project develops integrated and modular ZEB solution packages combining energy generation, storage, heating, cooling, ventilation, ICT infrastructure, business models and financial mechanisms. A key focus is the development of advanced building envelope technologies, including multifunctional prefabricated façade elements, dynamic U-value façade systems, solar-powered glazed surfaces, integrated ventilation units and ICT-enabled control and optimisation services.
REV-UP defines and validates Zero-Emission Building concepts for different building types and European climate zones and optimises the interaction between local energy generation, storage and consumption through advanced digital energy management. The project also develops a decision-support tool to assist users in selecting suitable ZEB solutions and enabling them to act as prosumers and flexumers.
Through simulation, testing and real-life demonstrations, REV-UP aims to deliver validated, climate- and building-specific ZEB solution packages and to support future market uptake and large-scale deployment of zero-emission building technologies across Europe.
The Consortium
REV-UP is a project funded by Clean Energy Transition Partnership (CETP), managed by JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft GmbH with a duration of 36 months and brings together 13 partners from Austria, Czech Republic, Denmark, Italy and Sweden
