The tourism boom is sparking interest among Lapland builders in developing new low-carbon and energy-efficient building concepts. Could a public actor help a number of Lappish companies boost construction and its ancillary services and products? Could the solutions and policies developed to meet the demand for tourism be used to promote exports? CoolBox project of the TEQU concept of Lapland University of Applied Sciences presents new solutions to improve the vitality of companies in Lapland.
Results of the Project
The main outcome of the project will consist of innovative concepts for micro-housing and 10 prototypes:
- Microhouse
- Digital Twin of the building
- Off-Grid technology box
- Design prototype
- HVAC product prototype
- Energy simulation prototype
- Renewable energy prototype
- AR-prototype
- AI/Robotics prototype
- Social media prototype
Each prototype is also analyzed from the business opportunity point of view.
Duration of the project: 3.8.2020 – 30.6.2023
