Optimal combination of low embodied carbon construction products for climate neutral buildings

This call targets research on innovative combinations of construction products, technical systems, and circularity principles to minimize life cycle carbon impacts in buildings. Proposals should validate solutions in diverse environments and investigate cost-effectiveness and business models. The aim is to support the transition towards climate-neutral buildings through sustainable practices and advanced materials.

Opening Date: 16 September 2025
Deadline: 17 February 2026

This funding opportunity represents a pre-agreed draft that has not yet been officially approved by the European Commission. The final, approved version is expected to be published in the first quarter of 2025. This draft is provided for informational purposes and may be used to preliminarily form consortia and develop project ideas, but it is offered without any guarantees or warranties.

Expected Outcome

  • Measurable reduction in whole life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions and uptake of
    carbon removals in buildings and renovations.
  • Increased integration of circular approaches for building and renovation works, with
    the aim of minimising lifecycle impacts.
  • More accurate benchmarking and calculation of typical buildings’ whole life cycle
    greenhouse gas emissions and carbon removals, based on Level(s) and consistent with
    the life-cycle global warming potential under the Energy Performance of Buildings
    Directive.

Scope

  • Develop technologies and solutions that facilitate optimal and innovative
    combinations of construction products and systems with minimal life cycle impacts at
    the level of the building. The innovative combinations of products and systems must
    also account for relevant aspects of performance such as thermal, acoustic and
    hygrometric performance, durability, potential for deconstruction and preparation for
    reuse at end of life, and potential for automated or industrialised installation. The
    technologies should be related to the design and construction phases of work.
  • Validate the technologies and solutions in a relevant environment in at least three
    different countries, with diverse climatic conditions and building stock characteristics.
  • Research the whole life carbon impact of typical building typologies in the chosen
    countries, using the developed technologies and solutions, and contribute to whole life
    carbon benchmarking efforts.
  • Investigate the cost effectiveness of the developed technologies and solutions
    including relevant business models that integrate circularity principles and
    monetization of carbon removals, in the chosen countries, and must address both
    urban and rural contexts.
  • Develop processes and related strategies for adaptive reuse of existing structures, such
    as repurposing buildings as opposed to demolish and rebuild, considering the whole
    life carbon impact.
  • Contribute to the development of European standards, where relevant.
  • Contribute to the objectives of the Built4People partnership and to the Built4People
    network of innovation clusters
