SIRCULAR
Sustainable and Integrated People Centric Solutions for Building Decarbonization and Circularity
Time Period: June 2024 – November 2027
EU Contribution: 5.999.644,26 €
Project description
SIRCULAR intends to create digital tools, technological solutions and non-technical services for the decarbonization of the built environment, as well as a ready-to-use methodology for assessing the circularity of a given building capable of evaluating the impact of the developed construction technologies in the demos. These features are intended to improve access to information on decarbonization for end users who are not experts in these fields, as well as to provide professionals working in the construction sector with tools capable of easily evaluating and improving the circularity of this area.
Our contribution
Our laboratory focuses on the design of integrated prefabricated components, aiming to accelerate the pace for deep energy retrofitting of the existing building stock. In addition, our laboratory develops a simplified thermal comfort evaluation tool for the assessment of thermal comfort and indoor air-quality conditions in existing buildings, aiming to support decision-making regarding the prioritization of interventions in building energy retrofittings.
