This opportunity funds projects developing and demonstrating at least two innovative solutions for thermal comfort in buildings inspired by vernacular knowledge, nature-based solutions, bioclimatic design, or frugal innovation. Solutions must be tested on new or existing buildings, including cultural heritage sites, across different climatic zones in Europe. Projects should evaluate life cycle GHG emissions, costs, and affordability improvements, ensure accessibility for vulnerable populations, and address implementation barriers through a participatory, transdisciplinary approach.
Eligible applicants must comply with Horizon Europe general conditions including admissibility, eligible countries, financial and operational capacity, and exclusion criteria. Specific application and evaluation procedures are detailed in Horizon Europe Work Programme annexes and guides.
