Boosting Innovation Sustainably in the Construction Sector
NESTA dynamic, adaptive living and working unit
Peter Richner, Empa
Construction is key for sustainability
EconomicDimension

SocialDimension
Turnover CH 2009: 54 Mia(Health Care: 58 Mia)
Buildings consume 48%of the end energy in CH
70 Mio t constructionmaterials per year
Challenges in the Construction Sector
Highly fragmented sector
Low innovation dynamics
Flat learning curve
Focus in R&D on materials and systems,hardly ever on integration and user behavior

Vision NEST: Center for Sustainable Construction Science and Engineering
Large scale research backbone, a kind of inverse Lab that enables:
Holistic research: materials components systems users (incl. living and working environment, e.g. guest house)
Provides real life conditions (scale, environment, users)
Dynamic, adaptable, flexible and modular
Attractor for national and international partners from academia and industry
Benefits:Boosting innovative edge of (Swiss) construction industry
Technology Transfer Platform
Development and demonstration of new solutions for local and global challenges in the built environment with clients
Design by Gramazio&Kohler, Zurich
Experimentalarea:
611 m2 per floor

NEST - A Showcase for Cleantech in Construction
Zero or energy positivebuildings
Healthy and comfortableindoor climate
Resource recovery fromwaste water on site
High performance insulation materials
Demand oriented controll strategies
Closed material cycles inconstruction
Smart Windows
Low CO2 construction materials
Light weight construction
Operation of NEST
Clustering of rooms in order to address specific research topics (energy, building envelope, technical water use, …)
International calls for projects for each cluster for partners from academia and industry
Student projects, PhD’s
Regular conferences, seminars and exhibition days related to advanced building technologies and innovation in the construction sector
Finances (construction plus 5y operation)
Cost
Backbone 15 Mio
First generation 7.5 Mioof experiments(1.5 Mio per floor)
Running costs (5 y) 5 Mio(1 Mio per year)
Total: 27.5 Mio
Sourcing
Own contribution 5 MioEmpa 4 Mio
Eawag 1 Mio
ETH Domain 3 Mio
Sponsors 19.5 Mio(1 main sponsor plusseveral medium sponsors)
Total 27.5 Mio
Opportunities for Sponsors
High national and international visibilityBeing part of a unique research and technology development facility
Repeated international calls for projects
Nest Website with information on all ongoing projects with special area for sponsors (similar to Rolex Learning Center)
Use of Nest for own and customer events
Platform for collaboration with partners and clients from academia and industry in a highly innovative surrounding
