PROBONO: The Integrator-centric approach for realising innovative energy efficient buildings in connected sustainable green neighbourhoods
Imagine a people-focused European construction industry that works with a community of stakeholders to create sustainable positive energy and zero-carbon emitting Green Buildings and Neighbourhoods (GBNs). This is the vision of the EU-funded PROBONO project. It will establish a European multidisciplinary consortium consisting of construction actors, public asset service managers, municipalities, technology solution providers and experts to transform six European districts into GBNs. The project will provide strong examples of GBNs’ technological and social innovation implementation by focusing on building infrastructure and exploiting digitalisation and smart technologies. PROBONO will create GBN Strategic Planning Tools and provide evidence-based policy recommendations, standardisation actions, and robust adoption and commercialisation strategies. Project work will engage citizens in co-designing and co-delivering sustainable GBNs.
