CLIMRES

Leadership for climate resilient buildings

Let’s talk about the significant rise in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events Europa has witnessed. Unseasonably warm temperatures during the winter months are increasingly becoming a pattern, disrupting traditional weather patterns and ecosystems. Especially the broader Mediterranean region showcases the devastating consequences of climate-related disruptions.

​​​​CLIMRES, ‘Leadership for Climate Resilient Buildings’, tries to tackle the problem head-on, by addressing the identification and systematic categorisation of buildings’ vulnerabilities and estimating their impact in the buildings' ecosystem considering the interlinkages within the urban context.

​​The project will deliver vulnerability assessment and impact evaluation methodologies along with an inventory hub of measures for building materials and design against climate risks and a decis​​ion support toolkit addressing three levels of decision-making at strategic, tactical, and operational levels.

CLIMRES solutions will be tested in 3 large scale pilots in Spain, Greece, Italy, and Slovenia evaluating their efficacy against heatwaves, extreme flooding, fires, and earthquakes and one multi-hazard replication multiplier pilot in France. The experiences and lessons learnt from the extensive pilot evaluation will benefit the next frontier leaders for climate resilient buildings. 

Overall, the CLIMRES project will provide valuable insights and guidance for building owners, policymakers, and stakeholders involved in building climate resilience and sustainable development, through the co-creation, development, deployment, and demonstration of highly cost-effective and replicable solutions.  

​Our role​

DEMO participates in CLIMRES with its expertise in operation, monitoring , and evaluation of the pilot site and building ecosystem and impact assessment amongst others. The project has only just begun. Stay tuned for more information.​
