digital based bio-waste derived meta-PANels Towards A REvolutionary building Identity

Introduction

Buildings wield substantial influence on the environment, accounting for a hefty 30% of global energy usage and a consequential 19% of greenhouse gas emissions. To combat this looming crisis, the Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) concept emerges as a transformative paradigm shift in the world of construction.

Digital Revolution in Manufacturing

In the midst of this environmental renaissance, a digital revolution sweeps across manufacturing, presenting a tantalizing prospect of reducing embodied CO2 and enhancing thermal control.

Challenges in Bridging the Gap

Yet, a considerable chasm separates these cutting-edge digital technologies from structures crafted from sustainable materials. The intricacies of computational and algorithmic design struggle to encapsulate the rich tapestry of Nature's multi-scale marvels, the very essence of this green metamorphosis. Bridging this gap could boost digital fabrication to a mass production system, but issues include:

1. Complexity of multi-scale modeling
2. Reliability uncertainties
3. Technical limitations in 3D printing
4. Poor solution versatility

PANTAREI Project Overview

The PANTAREI project addresses all these challenges by implementing a revolutionary adaptive intelligent computational irreversible thermodynamics paradigm to design and assess novel bio-waste-derived meta-structures for the reduction of embodied CO2 in buildings.

Objectives of PANTAREI

PANTAREI's overarching aim is to extend the capabilities of current computational tools for material design by developing adaptive solutions based on the intertwining of:

• Virtual physics of failure
• Non-equilibrium thermodynamics principles

This approach focuses on bio-waste multi-scale meta-structure design and tailored realization through the entire structure life-cycle with a human-centered perspective.

Collaborative Efforts

This could be materialized only with the aid of a multi-disciplinary stakeholder coalition, which involves renowned universities and companies, leaders in computational/digital design of multi-scale meta-structures and sustainable manufacturing.
