Circular Bio-based Construction Industry

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-17

Description

Description (EN):

The objective of CBCI is to set up the bases for the circular, bio-based construction industry to become an integral part of the construction market in the 2Seas area. This will reduce the use of non-sustainable resources (materials, energy) in the sector and increase reuse and the use of sustainable bio-based resources. This will be reached by offering solutions based on experimentations and real-life integrations in Living Labs addressing the multiple stakeholders of the construction sector.

Achievements (EN):

The CBCI project investigated how we can use raw materials more efficiently and sustainably in the construction industry, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. The focus lies not only in the construction phase, but throughout the life cycle of a building. For the transition to a circular economy, an integrated approach to circular and biobased construction is being developed, which forms the basis for the construction sector. In the CBCI project, partners developed practical solutions and tools to stimulate and facilitate uptake of circular bio-based concepts and materials in construction. In this last year of the project, partners were proud to have achieved all final outputs. The last white paper on rules and regulation has been released and they had completed the educational material for students which resulted in the book “Building Tomorrow”, also available in an online version. The tool ‘Circular Built’ which was published online, leads visitors through all the different aspects of circular building. It clearly outlines the ambitions for this specific project, in the existing building team and to external stakeholders and customers. Connected to this tool there is a practical guide and interactive calculators have also been developed in order to test multiple scenarios. The finalisation and commissioning of the Living Lab Emergis went very successfully and the building is in full use by healthcare professionals and clients of Emergis. The Living lab at KU Leuven, in Belgium, was also opened. Created in Design & Build cooperation and meant as a prototype for social housing in urban renewal, the living lab contains steel as well as several bio-based materials plus plug-ins for services, making it a very interesting and promising concept. Kamp C has finalised the expo on their site and the mobile expo and has very proudly disseminated the results at several events. In June ’22 the CBCI Final event at KULeuven in Ghent took place. It was a great success according to the responses of the attendees. To learn more, you can take a look at their Youtube channel for the after movie of the event and also for the films of their living labs at Emergis, KULeuven and the Exhibition Kamp C.

Delivered Outputs (EN):

Thanks to the integral approach of CBCI, diverse outputs were produced to have a broad effect on the sector. ● 3 White papers have been published to influence the stakeholders in charge of funding & financing, of the regulatory framework (policy makers) and of procurement, with the objective to facilitate the shift towards more circularity for professionals by an enabling environment. ● Professionals now also benefit from a practical guide and a feasibility study, as tools to accompany them in circular construction projects, at each stage of the process (building process and materials characteristics). ● The project harvested experience and knowledge through demonstrators and living-labs, that will remain as proof of concept of circular bio-based construction (CBC) and serve as cross-border educational models. These include a full-scale demonstrator through circular renovation and construction and real-life integrations of bio-based elements, a fully functional living lab through construction of a new building in an urban renewal project and a demonstration exhibition for circular bio-based materials and elements ● In addition to these physical embodiments, CBCI developed learning materials for professionals and students (teaching Programme “Building Tomorrow” book) that provides the necessary knowledge for (future) professionals to replace the linear construction approach for a circular one.
