The SB&WRC project aims at designing and producing 3 prototypes of thermal insulant for buildings, made from biobased and waste-based raw materials. These 3 prototypes will be produced respectively from agriculural coproducts (rapeseed and corn stems, with elements from pith), textile waste and terracotta waste, and wheat straw. Their carbon footprint will be at least 25% lower than that of standard insulants (neither biobased nor waste-based) on the market (such as glass wool and rock wool). In doing so, the project aims at proposing new solutions which allow, by exploiting waste and agricultural coproducts from the area, both to reduce CO2 emissions and to preserve natural resources such as construction minerals used in the production of the most widespread insulants such as glass wool and rock wool (global demand for construction minerals tripled between 1980 and 2010 [OECD, Material resources, Productivity and the Environment, 2015]). The project also aims at raising French and English construction stakeholders awareness of the advantages of these materials in order to encourage them to further develop the prototypes and commercialise them after the end of the project, and so as to accelerate the uptake of these types of insulants more genrally. For that purpose, professionals will be associated with the project during the project launching and closing events, during the stages of design (3 partners-professionals workshops) and operational deployment of prototypes (4 events on pilot sites), and through 4 conferences, a permanent online community, as well as an online survey. The originality of the project notably lies in its methodology: designing prototypes based on the existence of common, widely available, and under-exploited waste and agricultural coproducts over the area. In this sense, the project is directly rooted in a logic of cross-boarder cooperation. This logic is also supported by the need to gather the full range of rare skills / technical equipment (valorisation of agricultural coproducts, valorisation of waste / Waste House, Building Research Park, climatic chamber, etc.) indispensable for the success of the project, and for reaching a critical mass of stakeholders allowing to influence market trends. The SB&WRC project will address challenge n°1 and n°2 of the Programme area through a new collaboration between 4 universities, 2 associations, one small business, and one global corporation, in the framework of an R&D initiative in the field of energy efficiency in buildings. The project will also address challenges n°4 and n°5 by working towards the enhancement of energy efficiency in a context of limited resources by mobilising under-exploited renewable resources (notably agricultural resources).
