This training covers criteria for choosing sustainable materials and the benefits of large-scale reuse. The program includes raw materials, health impacts, tools, and real-life case studies to integrate circularity into your construction projects.
The “Sustainable Materials and Reuse in Construction: Choices, Benefits, and Practical Cases” training highlights the decisive impact of material selection, given that 50% of a building’s ecological footprint is determined at the construction stage. It covers:
Criteria for choosing sustainable materials
The benefits of large-scale reuse
Analysis of raw materials, health impacts, and life cycles
Tools, roles, and goals for integrating circularity
50% of the ecological impact of a building is set at the time of construction
The importance of material selection as a lever for the sector’s transition
10:00 – Large-scale reuse
Challenges and stakes of the transition to circularity
Obstacles in the sector and proposed solutions
12:45 – Break
13:15 – Presentation of practical cases
Circular design and long life design
Material selection
Building as material bank
Reuse (integration into the architect’s scope at different project stages, compliance with standards, etc.)
Life cycle analysis and carbon footprint
15:30 – Explanation: Reuse material sourcing process
17:00 – End
Objectives:
Understand the importance of materials in building sustainability
Identify and analyze criteria for choosing sustainable materials
Integrate large-scale reuse with appropriate tools and strategies
Set realistic goals for circular projects
Reuse structural elements and organize reuse flows
Draw inspiration from practical cases to design sustainable projects
