Circular REDesign for a Resource-efficient, Innovative, and Transformative Built Environment

Project description

Interoperable digital ecosystem for a sustainable construction sector

To achieve green transition goals, as well as mitigate and prevent climate change impacts, it is crucial to develop and incorporate solutions, methodologies, and techniques aimed at promoting transition efforts and sustainability. In this context, the EU-funded CRedIBle project aims to enhance the transition of the construction sector and its sustainability by developing a fully interoperable digital ecosystem. This ecosystem will improve the design, adaptability, reuse, and deconstruction phases, thereby increasing their sustainability. To achieve this, the project will integrate several key technologies, including AI-driven decision-support tools, digital product passports, predictive analytics, modular building components, and a systematic framework to improve circularity, sustainability, and efficiency at every step.

Objective

The Circular REDesign for a Resource-efficient, Innovative, and Transformative Built Environment (CRedIBlE) project aims to enable the design, adaptability, reuse, and deconstruction of buildings through a fully interoperable digital ecosystem. By integrating AI-driven decision-support tools, Digital Product Passports (DPPs), modular building components, and pre-dictive analytics, CRedIBlE provides a systematic framework for circular construction, material traceability, and lifecycle optimization. At its core, the CRedIBlE digital ecosystem will connect Building Information Modeling (BIM), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Digital Twin technologies, and AI-powered analytics, allowing stakeholders to make data-driven decisions on material reuse and circular renovation strategies. CRedIBlE will deliver:
▪ AI-powered Decision Support System (DSS) for material reuse prediction, modular construction, and renovation planning.
▪ Digital Product Passport (DPP) framework, ensuring traceability, embodied carbon tracking, and compliance with circular economy regulations.
▪ BIM-LCA integration tools, allowing real-time sustainability assessment of building components.
▪ A Digital Twin-based monitoring system, optimizing predictive analytics for adaptability and deconstruction.
▪ Modular and disassemblable building components, promoting low-carbon and circular construction methodologies.
▪ A Marketplace for secondary materials and components (HVAC, PV, solar collectors), facilitating material exchanges, refurbishment, upcycling and industry-wide circularity adoption.
Additionally, CRedIBlE will introduce:
▪A policy framework for integrating Digital Product Passports into EU regulations.
▪AI-driven material flow simulations, optimizing deconstruction and material reuse scenarios.
▪Training programs and knowledge-sharing platforms, equipping industry professionals and policymakers with circular skills.
▪ Standardized modular construction guidelines, aligned with existing EU regulations
