Industrialised durable building envelope retrofitting by all-in-one interconnected technology solutions
ABOUT INFINITE
All-in-one industrialised envelope technologies are the future of building renovation. They allow to increase the energy performance and lifespan of a building, while cutting time and costs of the retrofitting process. INFINITE relies on the “Renovation4.0” approach, which combines digitalisation and industrialisation to offer high-quality, tailor-made, sustainable solutions designed to last.
INFINITE supports the industrialisation in the construction sector and helps the decarbonisation of the European building stock. Discover all the knowledge and resources of the project in the Industrialised Deep Retrofit Hub.
Advantages of tailor made production
