1. GREEN INSTRUCT
Green Integrated Structural Elements for Retrofitting and New Construction of Buildings
Theme: H2020-EEB Type of Action: RIA - Grant agreement no:
The goal of Green INSTRUCT project is the production of prefabricated structural components for building envelopes, suitable both for retrofitting as well as new construction. These prefabricated components will be produced through mainly extrusion technique at a prototype level almost entirely from CDW raw materials.
