An overview of state-of-the-art innovations to disrupt the building sector

Sinds 2017 werken we actief aan de versnelling van innovatie in de bouw. Dat doen we vanuit STIB.2030 (STimuleren van Innovatie in de Bouw), een organisatie die we samen met Jos Lichtenberg en Monique Donker-Blacha van Off Road Innovations hebben opgezet. Dat doen we mede in het licht van het project Atlas, de transformatie van het hoofdgebouw van de TU Eindhoven naar een extreem duurzaam en intelligent onderwijsgebouw. De kennis die in en rond dit project wordt ontwikkeld, willen we zo breed mogelijk verspreiden. En ervaringen in andere projecten willen we zoveel mogelijk benutten.

Daarbij benutten we ook onze eigen ervaringen in de verschillende projecten waar we aan werken (Dutch Windwheel, Dutch Mountains, Bright Park, Academy Het Dorp). In deze projecten zijn we in aanraking gekomen met allerlei waanzinnige, grensverleggende en nuttige innovaties. Innovaties op het gebied van onder meer bouwmaterialen, energiesystemen en smart mobility. Sommige van die innovaties worden al breed toegepast. Maar ons beeld is dat er al veel meer is en veel meer kan dan ‘de markt’ weet. En vooral de bouw kan veel innovatiever!

Daarom leek het ons zinvol de innovaties die wij tegenkomen en waar wij enthousiast van zijn op één plaats beschikbaar te maken. Namelijk hieronder! Het is de bedoeling dat dit een dynamische en groeiende database wordt. We houden ons dan ook aanbevolen voor aanvullende suggesties!
