SmartWall is a multifunctional wall system that combines active with passive technologies, including fully prefabricated walls, high-performance windows, balcony doors, slim-type fan coil for heating and cooling, split units, air ducting systems, radiators and convectors, PV panels, batteries, control and fire protection systems. It is a compact versatile prefabricated kit which can be installed externally or internally (in case there are space or aesthetic restrictions) in existing building envelopes, introducing an innovative, dynamic, and flexible retrofitting solution reducing installation time and construction faults. The SmartWall systems are easily adjustable to any dimension up to 4m of height per module and can be decorated with any kind of finishing material. SmartWall systems are suitable for almost all building types and climatic conditions, while it is more effective for climates with significant cooling demand. Furthermore, some but not limited, technological devices that could be incorporated (prefabricated in order to reduce actual installation time) within the SmartWall systems, are:
· Fan coils
· Air condition/split units
· Air ducting systems
· Radiators
· Heat panels
· Solar panels

It has to be noted that almost 98% of the materials used for SmartWall production are recyclable and eco-friendly and only the air purification filters of the ventilation system cannot be recycled.
A comprehensive description of SmartWall Systems capabilities, technological devices and SmartWall modular combinations have been extensively presented in Deliverable – Technologies and Material selected for demo sites.
Demonstrated in Voula, Greece
Voula renovation started on 20.03.2023 and was completed on 31.07.2023, corresponding to 96 calendar days in total, divided into three phases:
a. Phase 1: Auxiliary works for SmartWall installation, including PV’s, ETICS, electrical wiring, and HVAC systems installation including their pipework: 20.03.2023 – 09.05.2023 with the actual duration of forty (40) working days.
b. Phase 2: Preliminary works for SmartWall installation, e.g. removal of balconies’ doors, local repairs of the existing brickwork, modifications on SmartWall panels and supporting metal frames production due to the extensive damages revealed in the brickwork after balconies’ doors removal, etc.: 20.05.2023 – 20.07.2023. Its actual duration was forty-one (41) working days.
a. Phase 3: the actual SmartWall installation: 08.06.2023 until the project’s completion on 31.07.2023 with an actual duration of thirty-eight (38) working days.
