The Circular Built Environment Playbook or ‘CircularBuild’ is a 3-year project funded by the EPA under the 2022 EPA Research Call. The project is led by the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC) in collaboration with Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) and the University of Galway (UG).
1. Co-design and develop a National Circular Built Environment Roadmap to 2040 in collaboration with industry stakeholders representing the full built environment value chain.
2. Co-design, develop, and pilot an evidence-based and research-informed Circular Built Environment Toolkit in collaboration with industry across a range of selected case studies.
3. Establish a dedicated Circular Built Environment Resource and Training Hub for industry, policy makers and educational audiences.
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.
We are looking forward to the IGBC-led workshop on developing a Circular Built Environment Roadmap in collaboration with Atlantic Technological University, University of Galway, and TU Dublin this Friday in Limerick. This is the third workshop in the series to gather feedback and input from industry. See https://www.igbc.ie/events/national-circular-economy-roadmap-workshop-in-limerick/
This 2023 report published by the Circular Buildings Coalition (CBC) is a summary of core concepts that inform the transition to a circular economy.
