Description du projet
Adieu les matériaux d’isolation obsolètes
Il existe un moyen de transformer la structure de nos bâtiments afin qu’ils restent frais en été et chauds en hiver, sans pour autant faire grimper les factures d’énergie. Le projet INNOVIP, financé par l’UE, vise à mettre au point une solution révolutionnaire qui changer la façon dont nous isolons les bâtiments neufs et existants. Plus précisément, son approche innovante permet aux panneaux isolants sous vide d’atteindre des niveaux sans précédent, en améliorant leur performance thermique de 25 % sur toute leur durée de vie. Actuellement utilisés dans les réfrigérateurs et les congélateurs, ces panneaux innovants seront ajustables, montables et usinables pour permettre une personnalisation sans précédent. Deux prototypes seront soumis à des essais et à une validation rigoureux pour démontrer la réussite du projet.
Objectif
INNOVIP Consortium will reinvent the top-of-the-line insulating material vacuum-insulation-panels (VIP) by improving their thermal performance over the entire lifetime by at least 25 % and making VIPs adjustable, mountable and machineable. By reducing the density of the core material and/or using an alternative core material together with less expensive VIP-envelopes as gas barrier, it will be possible to sell the new product INNOVIP by more than 20 % lower price. Besides, the new product has a reduced embodied energy by at least 25 % and, attaching different cover layers, the panels can fulfill different functions. These additional functions can be adjusted according to the application they address, for example photocatalytic VOC removal from indoor- and outdoor air, anti mould coating, moisture buffering by Aluminium Compounds or summer heat cut-off by latent heat activated in phase change materials (PCMs).
Currently there is no such material on the market. INNOVIP will develop such an innovative solution which will lead to a breakthrough in energy efficiency of the opaque parts of the building envelope – both in new built and existing houses. The success of the development process will be demonstrated in two prototypes that can be tested and validated. Development tasks will be carried out in close cooperation with the three complementary and reputed participating testing laboratories. We will show that, in principle, the new product is ready for use in certain important and representative applications, addressing a relevant market volume by replacing conventional insulating materials and standard VIP in established insulation solutions.
