Driving decarbonization of the EU building stock by enhancing a consumer centred and locally based circular renovation process
Updated on 21.06.2024
DRIVE 0 aims to accelerate deep renovation processes by enhancing a consumer-centred circular renovation process, making deep renovation more attractive, environmentally friendly and cost effective. This involves the development of proven deep renovation products further to circular renovation products based on local available materials and components, with emphasis on easy to install plug & play prefab solutions for building envelope elements and building services, to be produced in fully automated BIM controlled production processes.
More information
This also involves the development of attractive consumer-centred business models supported by digitalisation and gamification. Providing occupants with attractive and understandable information on building performances in use is also part of this approach. Providing relevant stakeholders evidence of performance of the developed DRIVE 0 solutions by demonstration cases is also a priority.
Relevance for Circular Systemic Solutions
This project serves as an example of the intertwined nature of decarbonization and circularity, specifically in the built environment sector. This can inspire cities and regions working on the decarbonisation of the construction sector through circular renovation actions. The deliverables of this project can help cities and regions during the Design and Implement phases of CSS deployment, especially in 'identifying intervention areas and building a CSS case' and 'monitoring, evaluating and adapting' the CSS, as well as 'defining the business plan for the CSS'.
Main results and lessons learnt
The project produced a number of relevant and useful outputs, including:
- Report on the assessment of available product and technology developments, benchmarking and selection of most favourable and most potential solutions for further development to circular renovation products and a list of criteria/KPI’s
- Report on a set of circular prefab 2D building envelope elements with case specific solutions
- Guidelines for a morphological design approach for circular renovation
- Report on attractive and understandable user information including indicators that are really appealing to end users and occupants to behaviour change
- Detailed Monitoring Action Plans for each demonstration case
- Report on the experimental/lab results on consumers/users behaviour and social responsibility
- Collection of monitoring technologies, methodologies and information services
- Report on benchmarking on circularity and its potentials on the demonstration sites
- Report on the business models employed in each case study
