Imagine if every building had a digital 'nutrition label' that told you exactly what materials are inside and how to reuse them. Instead of knocking things down and sending them to a landfill, these tools help people find ways to keep materials in use. It's like a smart recycling system for the entire city, making it easy for non-experts to make buildings greener.
The construction industry struggles with high carbon emissions and material waste because professionals and end-users lack easy-to-use tools to track and reuse building materials.
Digital tools based on GIS and BIM, a circularity assessment methodology for buildings, and non-technical decarbonization services.
If you are a contractor dealing with high waste costs and strict carbon targets — this project developed a methodology for assessing circularity that helps you evaluate and improve the reuse of materials. This reduces the need for new raw materials and lowers the carbon footprint of your sites.
If you are a housing provider dealing with aging, inefficient building stocks — this project developed digital tools and non-technical services that make decarbonization information accessible. This allows you to implement affordable transitions for fragile population groups.
If you are a software firm dealing with a lack of circularity data in building models — this project developed GIS and BIM integrated solutions that track material value chains. This allows you to add circularity assessment features to your existing digital tools.
Based on available project data, there is no specific pricing or cost information provided for the digital tools and services.
The project is testing solutions across 4 national clusters in Estonia, Spain, Germany, and Greece, involving construction and housing companies to ensure scalability.
Based on available project data, specific details regarding patents or licensing agreements are not mentioned.
Yes, the project focuses on decarbonisation and circularity, providing information to policymakers to support the promotion of sustainable construction methods.
The project period runs from 2024-06-01 to 2027-11-30, suggesting tools will be refined through this window.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward practical application, with 35% industry participation (8 companies) and 10 SMEs. The balance of 4 universities and 5 research centers suggests a strong bridge between academic theory and market execution, coordinated by a professional consulting firm (RINA).
