The EU Project LIFE SUPERHERO “SUstainability and PERformances for HEROTILE energy efficient roofs” project (LIFE19 CCA/IT/001194) has been funded in the framework of “LIFE Climate Change Adaptation” and will start in July 2020.
As industrial partners, Confindustria Ceramica, Hispalyt and 3 brick-making companies, associated with Confindustria Ceramica, have joined: Industrie Cotto Possagno, Terreal e Edilians. The other partners are: CENTRO CERAMICO (Coordinator), University “Politecnica delle Marche”, Centre Technique de Matériaux Naturels de Construction, ACER and Municipality of Reggio Emilia. The Project is also supported by: TBE (Tiles and Bricks Europe), Cerame Unie (The European Ceramic Industry Association), UNI (Italian Standardization Body), Ziegel and GBCI (Green Building Council Italy).
This Research Project will allow to disseminate the results already achieved by the previous EU Project LIFE HEROTILE (LIFE14 CCA/IT/000939), increasing the awareness of end users and stakeholders regarding the environmental benefits of VPR (ventilated and permeable roofs).
