In order to help the EU construction sector (refurbishment and new constructions) to achieve its energy efficiency targets and related CO2 emissions and to facilitate the global market uptake of an eco-innovative EU product able to help reaching these objectives , LIFE HEROTILE Project will develop:

• two new types of roof tiles (Marseillaise and Portuguese tiles) with a shape characterized by a higher air permeability through the overlap of the tiles, and then a better energy performance by passive disposal of the solar radiation through under-tile ventilation;
• a practical and simplified free-license software for architects and technicians – SENSAPIRO Software ENergy SAvings PItched Roofs- that, as developed on the basis of experimental data, it will be able able to predict the energy performance of different roof configurations.
