Building Design Teams and Building Users, Facility Managers and Owners

BUILD UP, the European portal for energy efficiency and renewable energy in buildings, is hosting the fourth in a series of six webinars organised with the CircularB COST Action project. This one will focus on Building Design Teams and Building Users, Facility Managers and Owners.

The implementation of circular design principles in buildings reflects an approach that encompasses the full life cycle of construction. Circular design enhances the adaptability of buildings and promotes the disassembly and reuse of construction materials after they have fulfilled their intended lifespan. 

• The first presentation will highlight key decisions that are vital for ensuring the success of circular design at the initial stage of the process, as well as the challenges that accompany them.
• The second presentation will provide insight into energy efficiency of sustainable and circular buildings.
• The last presentation will showcase the Valamar Amicor Green Resort, the first family resort on the Croatian Adriatic built according to principles of sustainable construction and designed to exist in harmony with nature. Timber was employed in the construction of state-of-the-art villas, while the interior design incorporated natural and recycled materials sourced locally. The newly constructed accommodation units utilised prefabricated construction techniques, which enhance energy efficiency, accelerate the building process, establish controlled production environments, and facilitate the disassembly of components for potential future reuse.

The webinar will take place on 17 September at 13:30-14:45 CEST. Full programme and registration.
