I was delighted to represent the ATU Build360 research group at the IGBC facilitated workshop in Limerick today. The CircularBuild project is a collaboration between the IGBC, ATU, TU Dublin, and the University of Galway. The aim is to co-design and develop a national roadmap for a circular built environment in close collaboration with industry.
The Build360 research group is based in the ATU Galway-Mayo Department of Building and Civil Engineering. Its aim is to support industry in the transition towards a decarbonized and circular built environment. Current projects include 2 EPA funded projects aiming to develop a Circular Built Environment Roadmap and Playbook for the Irish Construction Sector in

The Interdisciplinary Circular Economy Centre for Mineral-based Construction Materials (ICEC-MCM) focuses on improving the way we use materials such as aggregate, cement, brick, plasterboard, stone, and glass, particularly in infrastructure.
This network consists of 16 industrial Ph.D. and Post-Doctoral projects.
The Circular Built Environment Hub brings together about 70 researchers and teachers from the four departments of the Faculty of Architecture and the Built Environment with the aim to foster possible synergies between the different disciplines and to develop and promote knowledge towards a circular built environment. https://www.tudelft.nl/bk/onderzoek/onderzoeksthemas/circular-built-environment
CIRCULÉIRE is a public-private partnership co-created by Irish Manufacturing Research (IMR) and three strategic partners: the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications (DECC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and EIT Climate-KIC. Together with industry partners, CIRCULÉIRE aims to assist manufacturers and their supply chains to switch from linear to circular business models.
