INHERIT is an EU-funded project aimed at promoting energy and resource efficiency, sustainability, resilience, and inclusiveness of cultural heritage buildings.  

​The preservation and renovation of European historic buildings can be difficult given the diverse range of materials and architectural styles. But renovating existing buildings to be more climate friendly could potentially reduce the EU’s energy consumption by 5-6%.  

INHERIT’s overall vision is to co-design, develop, demonstrate, validate and replicate next generation solutions for sustainable, inclusive, resource-efficient and resilient Cultural Heritage. The project will: 

• Be accompanied by leading-edge Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), such as Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and (big) data analytics​ 
• enable socially innovative and cost-effective interventions at different urban levels (buildings and city/neighbourhood), ​ 
• cover all relevant aspects of the heritage-built environment’s life cycle: (1) Design and renovation; (2) Monitoring, operation and management; (3) Preservation and maintenance.​ 

Heritage Europe is part of a consortium of organisations led by Singular Logic and will be contributing to the programme’s dissemination and exploitation. The project will be developed and tested in historic buildings located in Croatia, France, Greece, Latvia, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey.​ 

We’ll be sharing information about the project throughout its development and expect the final guidance to be produced in early 2027.
