Third Industrial Revolution Consulting Group
A mobility concept, which frees up more public living and meeting spaces and is in line with
the TIR mobility roadmap (electric vehicles, public transport, car-sharing, etc.).
Requirements for Key Performance Indicators for eco-design and the use of eco-materials in
a Circular Economy.
Measures to provide high resilience against natural disasters.
2.3 RDI: Development of intelligent façades for non-residential buildings
Intelligent façades control the light exposure, provide decentralized ventilation, protect against
UV irradiation, contribute to electricity and heat generation by solar energy and support the
cooling system of the building. In addition, they can play an active role in (digital)
communication with the environment (e.g. by being a display).
Since it is expected that a growing number of large non-residential buildings will be constructed
in Luxembourg, research will need to be prioritized to advance intelligent façades and smart
building infrastructure.
2.4 Build up the LUX TIR Construction Platform involving all stakeholders
Several networks are already established and a myriad of activities are ongoing in the housing
and construction sector in Luxembourg. In addition, the TIR working group on buildings brought
together most of the stakeholders of the building and construction sector: architects, planners,
engineering firms, real estate and construction industry, housing companies and associations,
academia, and the energy agency of the government. These stakeholder groups now need to
join together and oversee a Luxembourg TIR Construction Platform. The objective is to use the
platform to implement the recommendations set forth in the TIR Strategy Study. A governing
structure composed of the various stakeholders needs to be established and protocols need to
be put in place to guide the operation of the construction platform.
The platform should be tasked with organizing education seminars, stimulating innovations in
the construction sector, and collaborating with the other sectors of the TIR roadmap including
energy, mobility, and digitalization. The TIR Construction Platform mandate should include
urban planning and urban development, building information modeling (BIM), integrating
circular economy principles, reducing construction costs, and introducing new business models
to manage Big Data flows in buildings transformed into nodal networks of the Internet of Things
infrastructure.
2.5 Development and implementation of a TIR action plan for non-residential buildings
Transforming non-residential buildings into Third Industrial Revolution nodes requires that the
stakeholders of the TIR Construction Platform establish an action and implementation plan. The
plan should address the following topics:
