This publication from the CityLoops project provides an overview of an interesting tool developed by the South-Eastern Finland University of Applied Sciences that tracks construction and demolition waste during the actual demolition process.
Dr. John Scahill and Philippa King from the Build360 group will be participating in the Circularity in the Built Environment Deep Dive, 31 May 9.00-12.30, see https://www.dublincirculareconomyhotspot.com/event
Really interesting project from the Urban Flows Observatory in the University of Sheffield, which aims to to develop a spatially multi-scale framework to assess CE potential in individual buildings, cities and countries. The framework, applied to non-residential construction in the UK, will enable estimation of CE potential in the existing stock. It will utilise bottom-up
TREASoURcE is a four-year project (2022-2026) receiving funding from the European Union under the Horizon Europe research and innovation programme. TREASoURcE aims to initiate systemic change by developing systemic circular economy solutions in cities and regions for currently underutilized or unused plastic waste, end-of-life electric vehicle batteries and bio-based waste and side streams. Implementing these
The European-funded Circular Biobased Construction Industry (CBCI) project investigates how we can use raw materials in construction more efficiently, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Not only in the construction phase, but throughout the entire life cycle of a building. For the transition to a circular economy, an integral approach to circular and biobased construction has been
The guide is organized into a practical questions that come up in every construction project: How do I get started? Which aspects of circular construction do I include in my project? How do I follow up on them? How can I evaluate my project after delivery? The ‘Circular Built’ tool is a guidance tool that
The project ‘CIRCULAR FOAM – Systemic expansion of territorial CIRCULAR Ecosystems for end-of-life FOAM’ will develop and demonstrate all technological steps required to achieve circularity of plastics in post-consumer applications, using the example of rigid PU foams used as insulation in refrigerators and construction, see link.
Pop-Machina is a Horizon 2020 project that seeks to highlight and reinforce the links between the maker movement and circular economy in order to promote environmental sustainability and generate socio-economic benefits in European cities, see link
The Build 360 team is delighted to announce that it was successful in applying for funding under the EPA Green Enterprise Scheme 2022. The project will be led by the Irish Green Building Council in collaboration with Limerick 2030, the Regional Waste Management Planning Offices, and the Atlantic Technological University. The project ‘CE-Con’ aims to
Transmitting the knowledge for the green regeneration of the European Concrete Heritage
Digital Deconstruction (DDC) is an innovated Interreg Northwest Europe project, which aims to develop an innovative digital decision support system, integrating various digital tools (3D scanning, Building Information Modelling, a digital materials and buildings database, blockchain technology) to define the most sustainable and economical deconstruction and reuse strategy for building. https://www.nweurope.eu/projects/project-search/digital-deconstruction/#tab-1
The Circular EcoBIM project aims to create a set of BIM based tools to enable a circular construction model. The three tools that are proposed will help architects and building managers to improve the environmental performance and increase the amount of reused, recovered and recycled construction materials.
