Key Exploitable Results (KERs) and Success Stories from our demo sites

BLUEPRINT goes beyond theoretical research. Our goal is to deliver tangible, market-ready solutions that cities can adopt to accelerate their climate neutrality journey. 

Below are the Key Exploitable Results identified in our Grant Agreement. These represent the primary assets (software, methodologies, and toolkits), developed by our consortium to support participatory urban renovation.

KER 1: The BLUEPRINT Integrated Platform

  • Leader: IES & Uni Systems

  • Description: A cloud-based ecosystem integrating all project tools. It serves as the central hub for city planners, allowing them to visualize data, manage renovation projects, and access decision-support modules in a secure environment.

  • Related Deliverable: D8.4

KER 2: The Participatory Digital Twin (NeDT)

  • Leader: IES

  • Description: An advanced Neighborhood Digital Twin (NeDT) that combines physics-based energy simulations with social data. It allows stakeholders to simulate “what-if” scenarios, visualizing not just energy savings but also the impact on citizen well-being and comfort.

  • Related Deliverable: D7.3

KER 3: AI-Driven Renovation Toolkit

  • Leader: UCD & TUM

  • Description: A set of machine learning algorithms that analyze building data to recommend the optimal mix of renovation interventions (e.g., insulation, PV, heat pumps) balancing cost, energy performance, and social acceptance.

  • Related Deliverable: D7.7

KER 4: Co-Design & Engagement Methodology

  • Leader: IAAC & ACT

  • Description: A comprehensive handbook and set of physical/digital tools (including VR/AR interfaces) designed to facilitate meaningful workshops with citizens. It ensures that renovation plans are co-created with the people who live there.

  • Related Deliverable: D5.1

KER 5: The NEB Renovation Toolbox

  • Leader: ICLEI Europe

  • Description: A replication guide rooted in the New European Bauhaus principles (Sustainable, Inclusive, Beautiful). It provides “Follower Cities” with a step-by-step roadmap to implement the BLUEPRINT approach in their own context.

  • Related Deliverable: D12.1

KER 6: Contemplative Landscape Scoring System (CLASS)

  • Leader: NeuroLandscape

  • Description: An innovative neuroscientific tool that evaluates the quality of urban green spaces and their potential to reduce stress and improve mental health, ensuring renovations contribute to a healthier urban environment.

Success stories from our demo sites

COMING SOON: real-world transformations​

Our five demonstration sites in Athens, Budapest, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Balla, and Benetutti are currently deploying the BLUEPRINT solutions.

Check back soon to read case studies on how:

Balla, Ireland, is proving that rural towns can lead the way in digital innovation.

Issy-les-Moulineaux, France, is transforming office spaces into sustainable housing.

Budapest, Hungary, is engaging youth to reimagine District 18.

Athens, Greece, is using co-design to revitalise the Kypseli neighbourhood.

Benetutti, Italy, is leveraging digital twins to modernise rural infrastructure while preserving cultural heritage.”
