Self-sufficient humidity to electricity Innovative Radiant Adsorption System Toward Net Zero Energy Buildings

The SSHARE project aimed at development of innovative self-sufficient envelope for buildings aimed at net zero energy, thereby contributing to the European technology and creativity through joint R&D and R&I multisectoral and international cooperation activities supported by knowledge sharing. Envelope is a combination of two breaking through technologies HUNTER-Humidity to Electricity Convertor and Advanced Radiant Panel for Buildings that will cool or heat the building depending on the time of year imitating perspiration of living beings using only atmospheric humidity as both thermal and electric energy supply. Sharing the culture of research and innovation, the SSHARE project will allow applying recent advancements in nanotechnology science and mechanical engineering to address "Plus Energy Houses" EU 2050 concept. To achieve this goal project has been divided by six Work Packages. Namely, - WP1 Innovative nano-structured composites Design. Objective: Development and optimization of oxide nanomaterials-based active layers with a controlled level of adsorption-induced electrical energy generation to manufacture humidity to electricity converter layers for “Tandem” and Adsorption Energy Generator (AEG) Types of Advanced Radiant Panels. RESULTS: Fully operational humidity to electricity conversion system of three main types. YSZ based Active Coating, Porous Block and CaSiO3-based active adsorber layer will be delivered. - WP2 Materials Characterization. Objective: Comprehensive characterization/analysis of the materials and produced energy converter structures. RESULTS: Protocol on the practical use of the CaSiO3 materials in Humidity to Electricity conversion process. Protocol on the Electrical and Thermal Properties of Active Coating, YSZ- and CaSiO3-based Porous Blocks structures. - WP3 Panel Assembly. Objective: Optimization of fabrication procedures and Assembly of Testing Devices of Tandem and AEG types of Radiation Panel in a Lab scale. RESULTS: Principles of Self-sufficient radiant panels assembly elaborated and optimized; Protocol on the fabrication of working testing devices; Protocol on testing device system Performance. - WP4 Corrective Measures. Objective: Overall efforts directed to the SSHARE device performance enhancement. RESULTs: Optimized design of the SSHARE systems - WP5 Prototype Elaboration. Objective: Prototype elaboration. Optimization of design features. RESULTs: Technical documentation, containing a recommendation for the SSHARE device development; Patent application - WP6 Management. Objective: Project Management, Dissemination Activities. RESULTs: Successful Implementation of SSHARE project.

Project objective

The SSHARE project will develop innovative self-sufficient envelope for buildings aimed at net zero energy, thereby contributing to the European technology and creativity through joint R&D and R&I multisectoral and international cooperation activities supported by knowledge sharing. Envelope is a combination of two breaking through technologies HUNTER-Humidity to Electricity Convertor and Advanced Radiant Panel for Buildings that will cool or heat the building depending on the time of year imitating perspiration of living beings using only atmospheric humidity as both thermal and electric energy supply. Successful realization of the project is assured by implementing a coordinated network of knowledge sharing in materials science, chemistry and mechanical engineering; by solidifying the state-of-the-art understanding in nanoelectronics and energy efficiency, and by applying bottom-up nanoengineering approaches via an international and inter-sector collaboration of highly qualified researchers from Portugal, Spain, Ukraine, Belarus, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan and intergovernmental organization Joint Institute for Nuclear Research Russian Federation. Both technological (panels fabrication) and fundamental (renewable energy) issues will be assessed by this multidisciplinary consortium. The successful realization of the project will lead to substantiated principles for the development of a new generation of building materials and hence to the creation of net zero building. Within the SSHARE project, the consortium will implement research/innovation activities by means of secondments and organizing training courses, workshops and summer schools aimed at sharing knowledge, acquiring new skills and developing the careers of the consortium members. Sharing the culture of research and innovation, the SSHARE project will allow applying recent advancements in nanotechnology science and mechanical engineering to address ""Plus Energy Houses"" EU 2050 concept.""
