Building Technologies Accelerator

BTA

a pathway towards exploitation of the full potential of GHG reductions in the built environment

Holger Wallbaum

The BTA network has far-reaching ambitions to accelerate the commercialisation potential for low carbon products and services in the built environment

BTA partners

Letters of intent

 HSB  Riksbyggen  Poplar Harca  Siemens building technologies  Picatec Hubber  Duravit  BASF Based on its attractive knowledge innovation network and through its open innovation model, BTA provides opportunities for rapidly expanding the network in the coming years.

The Livinglab network will be an outstanding platform for open innovation

Building technology impact

The dissemination of new and sustainable building technologies into the market remains slow while the potential to reduce the climate impact of new and old buildings remains high

Refurbishment of existing building stock is a key challenge

Current state of play 40% of global anthropogenic greenhouse gases and 50% of landscape change are the result of building activities Approximately 10% of global gross domestic product and about 8% of all global jobs are connected to building activities The Challenge: Implementation of new and sustainable building technologies into the market is slow New technologies not generically scalable as they are not adapted to specific climate conditions or user specifics Market is risk averse, leading to conservative optimisation instead of true innovation Low energy price vs. high investment to develop and test new technologies (problem especially for startups) New technologies not known or seen as too risky by down-stream stakeholders

Our innovation approach

First, we allow for innovation instead of conservative optimisation. Second, we facilitate the Livinglabs platform for business and society.

Our network

The BTA Livinglabs network provides an unprecented European scale with global commercial impact

BTA builds on LivingLabs, Test Beds, Markets and Urban Society

The BTA approach is holistic and inclusive, combining market knowledge, insight studies in existing residential and commercial buildings, with the Livinglabs network

User Participation in the Livinglabs

Human behaviour has a clear effect on the performance of buildings and building technologies and therefore on related business cases

Building Technology and Human Activity in Context Open innovation defines prototyping projects together with end-users and relevant stakeholders Co-creation pilots allow us to understand how sustainable consumption could be changed and what is viable in the market When actual energy usage by consumers is not in line with the estimated demand then business cases (such as energy contracting) are at stake

Delft concept: Humans living in buildings do not necessarily behave as one would like or expect

CO2 reduction activities

The BTA will reduce the CO2eq emission by 0.5 million ton within the flagship period. The CO2eq reduction will continue after 2018 along with the dissemination of the flagship outcomes.  Prototyping and open innovation

calls

 Masters and Phd level projects

with industry

 Support and input to theJourney

and thematic summer school

 Development of common

methodologies and frameworks

 Interdisciplinary conference and

ideas creation workshops

 Technology pool database  Social media communication  BTA dissemination event

The University of Tokyo wish to contribute with their zero energy Livinglab – Japanese market

Kick start – 2014 activities

The first year of BTA 2014 contains activities that measure the proof of concept and provide evidence for the Climate-kic Board that BTA will gain commercial success  Prototyping calls – to raise

commercial value through interested and active businesses

 Three thematic focus areas –

chosen to build the commercial value of the Livinglabs network – Home energy management system – Innovative facade systems – Innovative work environment

The new CHIBB Concept House, TU Delft

 Development of the BTA business plan with

a four month deliverable

 Establish management and governance  A stage gate approach  2014 detailed report outlining success and

difficulties and providing the basis for taking the flagship to a its full potential

The first year of BTA will establish governance and process and make important first strides towards KPI achievement

Larry Toups, NASA, will work with us on innovations for space habitation which can be used on Earth, eg Velcro and aerogel

Management and business plan – 2014

Business and market outcomes 2014

Commercialisation potential in US, India and Japan – Larry Toups (NASA), professor B.K. Chakravarthy IIT-Bombay and professor Ryozo Ooka, University of Tokyo

• 1. Home energy management system

 Sensor and visualisation system  E-quarium  Value creation in housing

associations, Sweden and Netherlands

• 2. Innovative facade system

 Innovative and demonstrated

combinations of high performance and adaptive materials (industrial process driven)

 2nd skin concept for refurbishment  Thermal gain facade system for

refurbishment

• 3. Smart office concept

 Design and operation guidelines for low carbon office buildings  Increased employee well-being and comfort, less days of absence  Lower life-cycle costs

David Keyson’s user-centred innovation provides economic incentive through savings

Business and market outcomes BTA

Knight Frank will provide trusted leadership in enabling the full commercialisation potential of the Livinglab network

• 1. Technology Pool: creation of a database of tested/proven technologies.

Subscription to database, analytic reporting and consultancy.

• 2. Provision of training for architects, engineers, consultants and contractors:

Market knowledge on cutting edge technologies and their implementation.

• 3. Measurement and cost/benefit analysis – modelling and carbon accounting.

Comparison of new technologies versus ‘Business as Usual‘ solutions – Advisory services and Off-setting.

• 4. Providing a quicker and verifiable route to commercialisation.
• 5. Accreditation/Kitemark – BTA/Climate KIC accredited/tested/kitemarked

product, a key market differentiator. Proving the business case quicker and with thorough verification.

• 6. Retrofit advisory services to property owners, managers and occupiers.
• 7. Market knowledge – consultancy to technology development companies

Food for thought: The Netherlands building corporations recently committed to a 6.5 billion Euro investment in making homes energy neutral
