MULTICLIMACT has published Deliverable D9.3, a formal deliverable that also signals a major step toward testing resilience solutions in real settings. It brings together building-scale innovations for cultural heritage contexts, spanning both material performance and technical systems.

Deliverable D9.3, “Cutting-edge, evolutive, self-sensing and multi-functional materials and technologies for improving the resilience of buildings, including cultural heritage – development for the application to real demo,” reports on the further development of materials and technological equipment designed earlier in the project, preparing them for testing in two real demo contexts: the Italian and Latvian sites. For the Italian demo, the deliverable describes how UNIVPM has further developed self-sensing materials and embedded sensors for monitoring electrical impedance and free corrosion potential in engineered cementitious composites, alongside continued development and laboratory testing of multifunctional mortar solutions aimed at depolluting and thermo-hygrometric performance. For Latvia, KTH and Uponor jointly advance an integrated low-temperature heating solution tailored to the Riga Central Market, combining system design work, resilience analyses and scenario simulations, and a renewable-based HVAC concept built around components such as a reversible heat pump, district heating, and an underfloor heating distribution system.
D9.3 is led by KTH with contributions from partners including UNIVPM, ENEA, UNICAM, and reviewers including NATURALEA and RINA-C.

About MULTICLIMACT:
MULTICLIMACT is an EU-funded project aimed at safeguarding Europe’s built environment against the increasing threats of natural and climatic hazards. By uniting 25 leading European organisations, MULTICLIMACT aims to enhance resilience, sustainability, and safety for communities across the continent. Through innovative strategies, including a toolkit of 20 reliable methods and digital solutions, the project targets the urgent need for adaptive measures against floods, earthquakes, extreme weather conditions and heatwaves. Tested across four pilot sites with diverse climatic conditions, MULTICLIMACT embodies a shared vision for a safer, more resilient future, focusing on actions to reduce the impact of climate change on the built environment.
