In Europe, the DIRECTIVE 2010/31/EU requires increasing the number of nearly zero energy buildings. The existing building stock needs to be included in order to achieve the 2020 EU environmental targets. The main barriers of energy neutral refurbishment of existing non-residential buildings appear to be financial rather than technical, next to a...

Net zero energy is already an ambitious target for several buildings, especially since the DIRECTIVE 2010/31/EU that requires increasing the number of nearly zero energy buildings. The existing commercial building stock needs to be included in order to achieve the 2020 EU environmental targets. The main barriers of zero energy refurbishment of...

Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) has been developed over the last 50 years into the material it is today. GFRC is mostly used as a cladding material and to a lesser extent for structural elements. This paper examines the challenges of using freeform thin-walled GFRC elements in the design and fabrication of a self-supporting artwork. The...
