SIRCULAR

Sustainable and Integrated people centRiC solUtions for buiLding decArbonisation and circularity

Description

SIRCULAR seeks to transform the construction sector into a sustainable, low-carbon industry through decarbonisation strategies. Its main objective is to reduce carbon emissions by minimising reliance on virgin materials and exploring low carbon alternatives, such as recycled materials. The project actively engages local authorities and social housing sectors in sustainable practices by developing a digital decision support system. This system guides professionals and authorities in sustainable decisions during the construction process, considering circularity and the life cycle of buildings, aligning with the principles of the Built4People Partnership.

 

Objectives

    • Improve the availability of creative schemes and packages for green building and retrofitting.
    • Expand the range of options for decarbonisation routes for the built environment leading to zero emission structures, taking into account the whole value chain at local or regional level.
    • Strengthen value chain engagement and participation in local and regional innovation clusters.
    • Accelerate the uptake of sustainable renovation methods after initial demonstration.
    • Disseminate knowledge on building re-use and circular enterprises and facilitate access to information at local/regional level.

Actions

    • Definition of the evaluation plan considering circularity and recyclability.
    • Definition of the KPIs that allow the evaluation of the actions.
    • Establish monitoring plans.
    • Make use of BIM methodologies for the installation and commissioning of materials.

Expected Results

  • Evaluation plan.
  • Monitoring plan.
  • BIM methodologies for the installation and commissioning of solutions.

R&D Line

  • Application of digital enabling technologies for improved sustainability and building intelligence

MATRYCS

MATRYCS

The main objective of MATRYCS is to define and deploy a Reference Architecture for Buildings Data exchange, management and real-time processing, and to translate this reference architecture into an Open, Cloud-based Data Analytics Toolbox. It will enable AI-based cross-sector analytics for smart energy-efficient buildings, based on seamless data-information-knowledge exchange under respective sovereignty and regulatory principles.
