REV-UP - Integrated clean energy harvesting modular envelope systems for positive energy buildings

Project

REV-UP – Integrated clean energy harvesting modular envelope systems for positive energy buildings

REV-UP develops integrated, modular solutions for zero-emission buildings and enables buildings to become active energy producers.

This is a CETP Project

Timeline: November 2025 – October 2028

Swedish coordinator: KTH Royal Institute of Technology

Contact: Qian Wang, qianwang@kth.se

Swedish Energy Agency’s project number: P2025-03013

Description

REV-UP contributes to the European Commission’s goal of achieveing new buildings to be zero-emission buildings (ZEBs) by 2030 and, more importantly, existing buildings to be ZEBs by 2050 by driving key advances for different building types and by developing integrated ZEB solution packages, including technology for energy generation, storage, heating and cooling, ICT infrastructure, business models and financial mechanisum. This enables buildings to become active participants in the energy landscape.

REV-UP is in line with the New European Bauhuas (NEB) principles. A technological aim is to further develop high-tech façade elements, solar-powered glazed surfaces, integrated autonomus venilation units, novel ICE enabled services and optimized control as well as a holistic integration of said solutions with complementary technologies that are already on the market.

Participants

The following organisations participate in the project: Aalborg University, ADVANTICSYS, Allface GmbH, CLOR INDUSTRY SRL, Czech Technical University Prague, JOANNEUM RESEARCH Forschungsgesellschaft mbH (Coordination), KTH Royal Institute of Technology, LOWTE, Solar City Denmark, TOWERN3000 GmbH, University of Calabria, University of Catania, University of Southern Denmark.

The Swedish Energy Agency finances the participation of KTH as the the Swedish partner in the project.

A project within Clean Energy Transition Partnership, CETP

The project originates from the 2024 call within CETP, a multilateral and strategic partnership between national and regional research, development, and innovation programs in the EU Member States and associated countries. Its purpose is to promote and accelerate the energy transition and support the implementation of the European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan).
