On October 13th and 14th, the second biannual meeting of the Horizon 2020 MEZeroE project took place in Denmark in onsite and online formats.

The meeting was organized by DTU (Technical University of Denmark) and was held at DTU campus in Lyngby, outside of Copenhagen. On behalf of ITeC, Elisa Guerra from the Product Quality Department and M Elena Pla from the BIM Development project attended.

During the meeting, the evolution of the different work packages was presented, as well as the gradual definition of the innovation services in the platform and their differential value proposition with respect to the existing market and the evolution of the executive phases of testing in accredited laboratories and in living laboratories (where it is planned to measure different parameters of environmental conditions regarding comfort before and after the installation of the innovative products taking part in the project).

Attendees in onsite format were able to visit the laboratories of the DTU Indoor Climate and Building Physics Section. These facilities allow testing and measuring the impact of indoor climate on human comfort, health and productivity.

The meeting concluded with the General Assembly convening the next general meeting in Ljubljana (Slovenia), to be hosted by the ZAG (Slovenian National Building and Civil Engineering Institute).

MEZeroE aims to develop an open innovation platform for companies of innovative façade envelope products and systems that will offer the following services to stakeholders:

• Development of technological solutions “NZEB Enable Envelope”, helping the manufacturer to bring products to market, offering a range of services that include consulting, testing, support for the certification and digitization of products or measurement of characteristics and parameters that ensure comfort in buildings.
• Knowledge transfer.
• Mathcing testing needs with existing facilities.
• Provide monitoring in living laboratories.
• Standardize cutting-edge solutions with access to all these accessible services through a single-entry point for all users.
