Supply chain case study: Development of an industrialised system for quick and easy replacement of urban modest houses facades

Abstract

peer reviewedThe Reno2020 project engaged all construction actors, from stock owners to local material producers, to imagine efficient refurbishment solutions of dwellings in the suburbs of Liege (BE), according to their typology. This industrialised solution has been developed to replace the street façades of old, often insalubrious urban modest “blue-collar” houses. Among its strengths: set-up rapidity, high energy performance without loss of private or public space, locally-sourced materials and urban-scale retrofit potential.Smart Energy Region
