Developing Buildings as Material
Banks, eliminating waste and
establishing symbiosis in supply
industries
Horizon 2020 – WASTE 1 2014 –
Moving towards a circular economy
through industrial symbiosis
September 2015, for 3.5 years

BAMB WORK PLAN
Developing Materials
Passports -
databases & platform
Developing Reversible
Building design approaches
and tools
Testing BAMB results through prototyping and pilot projects
Application and exploitation of BAMB results:
- Decision making support – building level assessment (aligned
- with BIM)
- Circular business models
- Adapted or new policies & standards

• Building level e.g. ability to transform building space/use
• Element level e.g. reuse of key elements of a building, such as façade
• Product level e.g. reuse of building products
• Material level e.g. return of materials to form manufacturing feedstock
in a closed loop system

2. Application of this methodology via Building Information Modelling (BIM) /
Asset Information Modelling (AIM)

- What has already been done? – Task 1 – almost complete
- What would be useful to potential users? – to Sept 2018
- Linear to circular - changes to assumptions in environmental and
economic assessment
- Data analysis needed to deliver assessment
- Data inputs – design (WP3), product information (WP2) plus
assumptions/data to support assessment
- Reporting outputs - trialling and feedback - Oct 2017
- Refine for existing buildings – trialling and feedback - Jan 2018
- BIM enabled prototype – trialling and feedback – Sept 2018
DECISION MAKING SUPPORT- WHOLE PROCESS
77
• Material and product information
• Design of buildings, building elements
and systems
• Including Design for Disassembly &
Adaptation
• Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
• Social impact/ value
• In-use maintenance
• Cross cutting for indicators
Task 1 – Map existing landscape
• What relevant data already exists?
• What relevant methodologies/standards
already exist?
• What is currently used? assess
usefulness/ transferability to BAMB
• Stakeholder/construction process
mapping –where are the
gaps/changes?
• Indicator mapping – can/should we
‘recycle’ these?

Models
• EU Life + funded; July 2013 until
December 2017
• Partners from UK and Netherlands
• Sharing lessons from 30 pilot projects
• A number of case studies with lessons
learnt available:
• ProRail in the Netherlands furnished
their new offices with ‘circular’
flooring and furniture

HISER: Holistic Innovative Solutions for an
Efficient Recycling and Recovery of Valuable
Raw Materials from C&DW
• February 2015 to January 2019
• Develop and demonstrate solutions (technological and non-
technological) for a higher recovery of raw materials from ever
more complex C&DW by considering circular economy approaches
• Solutions close to be ready; Demonstrations (mainly) during 2017
• Economic + environmental assessment; Business models /
Exploitation strategies; Policies and standards recommendations
• Conference June 2017 (jointly with BAMB); Delft 20-23 June 2017;
abstracts end January 2017

Editor's Notes

  • #5 BRE is leading WP5 which is to develop applications for these developed concepts. As such, it is critical that we have better understanding of how to best develop applications that can be used by the construction sector and its clients.
