The project's innovation lies on: i) integrated analysis of the performance, durability, maintenance and ecotoxicity of surfaces, taking into account the combined action of urban agents and the creation of sustainable rehabilitation solutions; ii) a new set of performance and ageing tests simulating real urban conditions; and iii) definition of integrated protective-repair solutions that combine advanced and ecoefficient materials.
The final output of WBG_Shield corresponds to: an innovative methodology for evaluating protection degrees on ETICS surfaces in terms of their resistance to water, graffiti and biocolonization, to be included in a LNEC technical specification; and the application and validation of an integrated protective-repair solution in pilot urban areas, involving managing entities of built heritage.
