PS-FP7-Extensive Green Roofs in European Countries (10 ES 27F4 3IJE)
An Andalusian engineering and quality control company that works in the field of construction, both buildings and infrastructures (roads, railways, ports, airports and hydraulic works) is looking for entities for participating in a project which purpose is to promote and encourage the construction of green roofs in other countries where its use is not common. They are looking for SMEs and demonstrators in this field for joining to the consortium.
Country: Spain
Type: REQUEST
Date: 18.02.2011
The company activities are structured into seven business lines: Civil and transport engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Building, Construction Material Quality Control, Health and Safety Coordination, Construction Product Certification and Research, Technological Development and Innovation.
The Andalusian Company will be the coordinator of the proposal.
The purpose of the project is to promote and encourage the construction of green roofs in others countries where its use is not common. Green roofs are widely developed in central and northern Europe countries, USA, Canada and Japan. They present a wide spectrum of environmental and economics benefits. Experience and studies have proved their advantages in these countries. Nevertheless, very scarce examples can be found in others countries. The project will show, with qualitative and quantitative performance indicators that green roofs can be easily introduced in others Europe countries markets if appropriate dissemination and training is carried out.
The reason for the limited development of such roofs in Mediterranean Europe is a consequence of the lack of experience proving the economical and environmental benefits of them. Green roofs reduce the costs for heating/cooling, roof maintenance and noise insulation and decrease CO2 emissions. Therefore the promotion, encouragement and massively development of Green Roofs in others Europe countries will help the economy of the society in these difficult times and will collaborate with the EU goal of reducing CO2 emission in 2020 by 20%.
They are looking for partners for collaborating in Research and Development activities related to the project proposal.
