Periodic Reporting for period 1 - Reincarnate (Reincarnation of construction products and materials by slowing down and extending cycles)
Okres sprawozdawczy: 2022-06-01 do 2023-11-30
To this end, Reincarnate will create a Circular Potential Information Management (CP-IM) platform and a set of innovations to use it. The platform will provide a digital representation of building products and materials with information on their life cycle, and will allow assessing their potential for life extension and reuse, as well as predicting circular value streams. Reincarnate will then generate ten technical innovations using CP-IM data. From solutions for building inspection, to construction and dismantling planning, and identification and classification of CDW — these solutions will draw upon emerging digital technologies, such as digital twin representation, artificial intelligence, and robotic automation. 3 empirically proven social science insights will allow fostering widespread adoption of reused high-quality construction products and materials as well as business eco-system development frameworks to combine actors within sustainable value chains.
All innovations will be demonstrated on eleven selected real-world projects and value chains. Furthermore, business process guidelines and an e-learning platform will be developed to drive the dissemination and exploitation of Reincarnate’s results.
As a starting point for follow up work the Reincarnate consortium has started to develop an ontology that forms the basis for the circular potential assessment information system. First ideas for the technical and social science innovations have also been generated.
