BB1.7-New Material/Product Development
Sousana Sousa & Tânia Vanessa Pinto
Description
Guide and consult clients to optmise their product design for optimal building integration (climatic loads and thermal shock, interface with building environment, interface with other building components for facade integration etc.) and optimal building performance (performance-based design).
Standardisation
The services are in line with all the EN ISO and CEN standards related to the construction sector
Innovation features
Pricing
4500 euro per service month (test, simulation, consumables and raw material excluded)
This service is quantifible as 10-15% of the total time of the scale-up of the technology, that budgeted as a request to the ecosystem (where necessary)
Service delivery timeframe
Along the whole process of scale-up of the technology, therefore depends on the whole amount of services needed. The time needed for managing the innovation process could be considered as a 10-15% of the total time.
Relevant Industry
Building Industry (scaling up of building envelope materials and components, for integration in both opaque and transparents building envelope elements), IEQ Applications, Theatre/Museum Design, envelope of transportation industry (car and buses, trains, marine etc.).

Value proposition
POLITO is a research organisation with more than 20 years of experience in scaling up innovative buildling envelope products, with an in depth understanding of experimental and numerical methods, of regulatory frameworks and of testing and certification protocols. Moreover POLITO has developed in the years a large network of regulatory bodies, testing bodies and companies, as well as main pleayers in the building envelope industry. This allow POLITO go guide and streamline the scale up as an MANAGER OF THE INNOVATION, driving and taking the client hand-in-hand through out the scaling up process, and how to optimise the integration of the technology in the buildng, depending to what is the market scenario.
Environmental and social impact
The product development service helps customers save time and resources on one side, and on the other side in facilitating and accellerating innovation and integration of the innovation in the building level.
This align with the EU's sustainability and energy efficiency goals, supporting businesses and material efficient buidling structures, reducing material consumption and accelerating innovations
Geographical and/or infraestructure restrictions
No geographical limitation, more expertise in EU regulation (but not limited to)
Service Support
KoM meeting to define customer needs and schedule and to plan together the phases of development - Follow-up meetings during the service period to present results and help the customer in planning next phases - Final report
