Swiss Digital Circular Construction Ecosystem (SWIRCULAR)

Description

The project aims at establishing a Swiss Circular Construction Digital Ecosystem to facilitate the paradigm shift towards a circular construction industry. Using a transdisciplinary approach, we will develop economic, legal, and technological innovations to aid adoption of circular practices in the Architecture, Engineering and Construction sector. The ZHAW Institute for Building Technology an Process has the sub-project lead for SP4 (delivery models for circular construction) and SP8 (demonstration). The ZHAW Institute of Regulation and Competition leads SP2 (legal framework for circular construction).
