The project solves key challenges in wood construction for acoustic and fire resistant characteristics of wooden buildings, where the user can constantly monitor all measured parameters for living comfort in the building. By introducing RRI project, wood construction will become more appealing for investors as it will provide safer, faster, and cheaper construction, and users will get new levels of living comfort that was not available in current wooden buildings. Design, optimisation, and product monitoring through its entire life cycle will be done with the latest global technology BIM. For more efficient dissemination of RRI project, BIM tool will enable the designers to directly use certified products from RRI project on a global level.

The purpose of the project is to develop an innovative inner wooden wall that will provide the user with improved living comfort (lower noise levels, fire resistance, higher aesthetic level) and reduced expenses for thermal energy, also with the planned sensor and controller for regulation of living comfort. Through the entire life cycle, the wood in the wall will store carbon which will contribute to reduction of climate changes. The environmental challenge faces two fronts: improvement of internal living comfort in buildings, and use of natural materials (wood) and recycled materials (thermal and acoustic insulation).

The result of the RRI project will complement S4 goals by increasing the share of high-tech intensive products and by introducing services with high share of knowledge in export. The project will significantly improve construction of wooden buildings and significantly contribute to export of knowledge to the global market by increasing the marketing potential of selling the service for monitoring living comfort indicators.

The registered RRI project is directly related to the field of use of “Smart buildings and homes with wooden chain” which is a priority field of “Healthy living and working environment” under the S4. This priority field combines fields of use that require systematic solutions, meaning connection of processing technologies with final products. They require intensive investing in R&D, as well as intensive connection of stakeholders.

The goal of the project is also to improve material paths of Slovenian-locally accessible wood into final products with high added value. Due to the technology of treatment and processing of wood (forest production, primary and secondary wood processing into final wood products), wooden residues are created which we want to process into new, environment-friendly wood products in the process of improving material efficiency. The possibility of reusing the used wood in new products extends the duration of carbon storage in wood. The company plans its business opportunity also in reuse and processing of different materials of natural (rubber, textile) or fossil origin (various polymers) into new products with higher added value. With the planned new product of development of an innovative modular wooden wall, the company improves the use of locally accessible wood from alpine areas (use of renewable sources) and reuse of recycled materials, from textile, rubber, and polyurethane (reduction of residues/waste), and use of local knowledge on thermomechanical and electromechanical energy conversions.

Innovation of RRI project for development of living comfort sensor is particularly shown in:
– comprehensive approach to establishing a living comfort sensor, from installation to monitoring the readings and later awareness of users about the critical values and potential possibilities or suggestions for optimisation of measured values (organisational and investment) if necessary,
– innovative graphic display of readings,
– possibility of using the system on portable mobile devices applications,
– possibility of upgrading the sensor (optional additional supplementation of new measurement functionalities – the so-called modularity),
– multi functionality,
– autonomy of operation (up to 1 week),
– direct connection with the product – wooden wall (measurement of suitability of living comfort, noise, temperature, humidity, CO2 and various hazardous gases).

The advantage or the novelty of the sensor that we will develop, compared to the competition, is mostly in the fact that our product will provide multi functionality and modularity (possibility of adding individual measuring components) where all individual components which are required for setting up the sensor will be developed together with individual suppliers and standardised in order to provide compatibility among the components and for setting up a single system which will integrate data from different components, and a uniform display of different information.

Project RACE WOOD is co-financed by RS and EU from the European Regional Development Fund (www.eu-skladi.si) through a public tender “Strengthening of competences and innovation potential of companies”, issued by the Ministry of Economic Development and Technology in cooperation with the administrative body of the Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for the Promotion of Entrepreneurship, Innovation, Development, Investment and Tourism (SPIRIT). Total value of the entire RRI project is EUR584,275.43, we are planning to co-finance it with EUR193,359.00. RRI project RACE WOOD lasts 18 months and includes the work of 8 experienced researchers from different fields of expertise.

RACE KOGO were successful with the application to the public tender for promotion of processing improvements in businesses in 2016 and 2017 “Processing voucher 2016/2017” of the Public Agency for Entrepreneurship, Internationalization, Foreign Investments and Technology.

Operation title: BIM (Building Information Modelling) consulting

Abbreviation: BIM Svet (BIM world)

The purpose of the operation is to improve competitiveness through processing improvements.

The goals of the operation are: setting up integration of different technologies and transformation of existing approaches (development of infrastructure and civil engineering). Operation is also focused on strengthening and promotion of special skills (as one of the conditions for simpler use of new ideas and their improved competitiveness) that will enable to set up a norm for a fully computer-defined civil engineering, with the assurance that advantages and benefits of this technology will also be detected in the wider population, and that export of technologies and services on their basis will be supported.

The operation assumes indirect and/or direct improvement of the following business functions:
– management,
– general functions,
– R&D functions,
– investment functions,
– purchasing,
– sales,
– technical supervision,
– HR function.

The investment is co-financed by the Republic of Slovenia and the European Union from the European Regional Development Fund (www.eu-skladi.si).

Ministrica je poudarila pomembnost izobraževanja mladih na področju lesarstva, saj je v tej panoga priložnost za veliko število novih zaposlitev, ki smo jih včasih že imeli. G. Prikeržnik je v povezavi z oživitvijo verige izpostavil področja aktivnosti in načrtovanih ukrepov Ministrstva gospodarski razvoj in tehnologijo, ki do leta 2020 načrtuje postopna vlaganja v razvojne dejavnosti lesarske industrije v višini 50 milijonov evrov. Sredstva bodo na razpolago prijaviteljem v dveh razpisih in sicer: Spodbujanju razvoja in uvajanju novih produktov v lesarstvu in Podpora novonastalim podjetjem-področje rabe lesa. Odprtje prvega razpisa načrtujejo že z koncem marca ali v začetku aprila 2016.

Gostje so predstavili pomembnost sodelovanja na vseh nivojih, če želimo oplemenititi les, ki je stoletje nastajalo, bilo plod znanja in tradicije pri predelavi ter na koncu predstavlja ponos in udobje upobniku v vsej veličini objema lesa.
