An Innovative Circular Economy Training based on BIM and LCA technologies applied to the Construction Industry

Description

"<< Objectives >>The aim of this project is to bring the academic contribution to circular economy on waste management in the construction industry, by building skills for future construction actors, higher education students now, so that they may become drivers of change for the construction sector towards a sustainable construction model that uses natural and recycled materials, reducing the environmental impact and thus meeting the objectives of EU directives. We will also provide tools to professionals.<< Implementation >>Development of case studies to work with the students on how BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodology and LCA (life cycle analysis) may be used to evaluate the sustainability of the different construction materials.Development of a web app where professionals may select a certain material and obtain results regarding CO2 emissions, energy consumption, waste, subproducts, environmental impact and other indicators.Development of a university course to train future construction actors.<< Results >>An ""Educational program of one course on sustainable building and C & D waste management, based on national case studies"" to be used by universities in order to train students and a web app on construction's material circularity to be used by professionals in the construction industry in order to choose alternatives with the least impact on the environment. Outcomes: A more sustainable construction industry, producing less waste, consuming less energy, reusing and recycling materials."
