  • Focus and scope of the call for projects

    Air Quality Challenge aims to identify and implement innovative materials, processes, products or services

    that contribute to improving air quality (IAQ) while reducing energy consumption.

    Improving air quality

     

    • Filtration and sanitation systems

    • Measurements/sensors collecting IAQ dat

    • Tools for measuring air flow rates while taking into account the comfort of the building's occupants

    Improving the Energy Efficiency

    of IAQ Systems

    • Energy-efficient and highly performing systems

    • Noise reduction of equipments (production or terminals)

    • Improvement of air renewal flow rate with controlled energy consumption

    • Reduced energy consumption at constant air change rate

    • Extension of the performance time between two maintenance operations

    • Improvement of the maintainability of Air Handling Units (to facilitate maintenance and lower costs)

    • Integration of functions in air renewal systems with controlled maintenance: synergies source of energy savings (e.g.: thermodynamic double-flow ventilation with facilitated use and maintenance).

    Biomimicry

     

    • Nature-inspired processes positively impacting indoor air quality

    • Filtrating/capturing pollutants in closed environments

  • Screening Criteria

    In order to be shortlisted, applications must meet the screening criteria defined by the Organisers
    in terms of both the applicant structure and the proposed innovation.

    ✔ Solution in line with the focus and scope of the call for projects

     

    ✔ Innovative characteristics (technology/and or service/and or use)

     

    ✔ Relevance of the solution in addressing the challenges of the Call for projects: alignment between IAQ and energy efficiency issues

     

    ✔ Team quality and complementarity

     

    ✔ Credibility of the proposed experiment and the applicant's ability to carry it out

  • Eligibility criteria

    All stakeholders (start-ups, SMEs, laboratories, large companies, associations, etc.) based in the European Union (including the following countries: Switzerland, United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway) can apply, as long as they own

    the intellectual property of the proposed solution and have the freedom to exploit it.

    Functional prototype

    The solutions must be mature or under development (TRL 4, 5), allowing them to be tested

    in full scale.

    Intellectual Property

    The intellectual property of the proposed solution belongs to the candidate structure or the latter has complete freedom

    to exploit it.

    European Union

    European Union countries to which are added the following : Switzerland, United Kingdom, Iceland, Norway.

    Company created

    A certificate of registration will be requested.

  • Incomplete applications or applications sent after the closing date will not be considered. Any document received after the closing date will not be taken into account in the application, unless further information is requested as indicated above. Any inaccurate or misleading statements or fraud may result in the disqualification of the applicant organisation.
