CirCon4Climate

#2023RECAP Last year was full of dedication and hard work for our consortium, culminating in the successful release of 5 pivotal Guidelines each in 4 languages (EN, PL, CS, SL). Access: buildingcircularity.eu Kudos to the entire team for their great efforts! 💪

#4 Substitution for Sustainability!🌿 Using biobased renewable materials over primary abiotic materials is a key strategy for sustainable building. Substitution in construction involves replacing traditional materials (concrete, plastic) with biobased and renewable alternatives.

#3 Close the Loop on Waste!🔁 Building sustainably means minimizing material losses through waste and maximizing resource recovery.💚 Strategies to close the loop in building: 1. Efficient waste management practices 2. Design for resource recovery 3. Promote circular procurement

Continuing our series on circular construction principles: #2 Slow the Loop! ⏳🔁 Key strategies to slow the loop in building: 1. Modernizing and renovating existing buildings 2. Adopting modular and flexible designs 3. Implementing maintenance and repair strategies

Excited to share the 1st principle of circular construction: #1 Narrow the Loop!🔁Building a sustainable future means rethinking our approach to construction - narrowing the loop in building is crucial for achieving circularity. ♻️🌍🏗️

Exciting news! Over the next 4 weeks on Wednesday (6, 13, 20, 27 September), we will be exploring the world of circular construction and sharing insights on its 4 key principles: Narrowing the Loop, Slowing the Loop, Closing the Loop, and Substitution! Stay tuned! 💚🌎

How to make existing buildings more sustainable? 1. Implementing energy-saving practises🔋 2. Educating building occupants 👥 3. Utilizing renewable energy sources ♻️ 4. Modernization of existing buildings with energy-efficient technologies 🏘️

Online training series “Circular Buildings”, as part of the EUKI project “Sustainable Building Renovation- Forming the Future (SURF)” with their first training event on 31 August 10.30-12.00 CEST about Life Cycle Assessment, with signing up possible here: forms.office.com/pages/response…

Our official website has launched🥳 For latest updates on circular construction visit buildingcircularity.eu to find: -> up to date news and articles -> details about current and future projects -> upcoming events

Did you know in Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia, most of building materials ends up in landfills?! However, up to 70% of them can be reused 👀 Read the full interview about transformation of the construction industry towards sustainability euki.de/en/news/euki-i…

On May 17th @innowo_org and @ITB_pl held the first part of consultations with the built environment stakeholders as part of the CirCon4Climate project. We would like to thank all (over 50) participants for their engagement and valuable input into discussion.

🚀 We need to focus on ensuring higher energy efficiencies and sustainability in the design and construction of any new buildings. 💡 Let's embrace circular building approaches to create a better, greener future for our built environment! 💪#CircularEconomy #SustainableBuildings

🏢🌍 Did you know that buildings are such a major contributor to Europe's carbon footprint and energy consumption? #CarbonFootprint #ecology #construction @EUKI_Climate @innowo_org @ITB_pl @IOER_de

Circular Construction for Climate Action 🏗️♻️  Up to 70% of demolition waste in Czechia, Poland and Slovenia could be used anew, but is landfilled instead of recycled. The new #EUKI project „CirCon4Climate“ strengthens circular construction practices. 👉euki.de/en/euki-projec…
