LUONTEVA

In the LUONTEVA development project, regional think tank and model concepts for nature-based, energy-efficient and carbon-wise construction and living are developed through experiments and joint development and building networks.

We focus on carbon-wise insulation solutions (interior structures of buildings) and modular green wall solutions (exterior structures of buildings). The project is based on collaboration with Tampere University (TAU) and natural Resources Institute Finland (Luke).

LUONTEVA team: Milla Koponen, Jutta Varis, Kirsi S. Mikkonen, Long Xie, Tuula Jyske (PI).

Project partners: Juha Vinha, Eero Tuominen, Mikael Westermarck (TAU); Henri Vanhanen, Marta Cortina Escribano, Jutta Kauppi (Luke).

Funder: Pirkanmaan liitto, European Regional Funding

Project duration: 01/11/2023 → 31/10/2026
