ABRACADABRA: Call for papers

19.04.2016

ABRACADABRA is a three-year Horizon 2020  project focuses on the market up-take on energy efficiency and is coordinated by the Alma Mater Studiorum University of Bologna. ABRACADABRA stands for Assistant Buildings’ addition to Retrofit, Adopt, Cure And Develop the Actual Buildings up to zeRo energy, Activating a market for deep renovation. The Architects' Council of Europe is part of the consortium, together with 17 other members. 

ABRACADABRA is based on the prior assumption that non-energy related benefits play a key role in the deep renovation of existing buildings. In particular, actions will focus on the following main benefit: the generation of a substantial increase of the real estate value of the buildings through significant energy and architectural transformation (mainly integration of Renewable Energy Sources systems with new volume addictions or new buildings’ construction) to go beyond the minimum energy performance and aim at achieving Nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEBs). 

Call for papers for the International Workshop, 23-24 June, at Bologna, has been launched. Please check the Abracadabra-project website for further details.
