Knowledge and practice hub for the bio-based insulation products proven in the BIO4EEB project and their operative employment in EU residential buildings.
While bio-based insulation materials keep the environmental footprint of buildings significantly lower, they also improve the insulation properties and increase durability with lower maintenance costs.
Why should i choose a bio-based insulation?
Bio-based materials have a lower environmental footprint, have non-toxic materials, improve moisture regulation and offer comparable thermal performance with other traditional materials.
Bio-based Insulation Product Features
Bio-based insulation materials have additional features which improve the building energy performance, environmental footprint while keeping comparable qualities as the traditional materials.
Thermal insulation
Bio-based materials provide comparable thermal insulation with traditional materials.
Biodegradability
The component lifecycle is more environmental friendly while keeping the
Water permeation
Water tightness and moisture regulation for indoor air quality and long durability.
Non-toxic materials
Significantly lower toxicity in indoor air quality and smoke toxicity.
Fire resistance
Low flammability, fire propagation, smoke emission and smoke toxicity.
Acoustic insulation
High acoustic insulation comparable to traditional materials.
Discover
In the BIO4EEB marketplace you can find bio-based insulation materials and building components based on these materials. Material details, component origin, shipping details and prices are available in the marketplace.
See below the main categories of materials and components provided in the marketplace.
Use the Multi-Criteria Analysis tool and decide on which alternative solutions fit your use case. In this tool the user can designate weights on KPI's and calculate the preferred alternative solution.
Analyse simulation results of virtual demo cases and user's made simulations. Additionally compare results of different simulations for the same use case to understand the effects of specific KPI's. See below examples of BIO4EEB use case simulations.
Below you can find simulation results of the BIO4EEB use case buildings and comparisons between simulations.
