Constructing a Sustainable Future #3

Optimizing existing building stock INNOVATIONS THAT OPTIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY IN EVERY LINK OF THE CONSTRUCTION VALUE CHAIN While they might not shake up the established order, they already have very significant potential for more environmentally friendly practices, with the advantage of easier market penetration as they fit in with existing business models. They have the potential for rapid development in the short term, having only to demonstrate their contribution in terms of productivity, costs and environmental impact. REAL-TIME DATA ANALYSIS „ Simulation tools to assess the energy performance of a design „ Life-cycle assessment tools to predict a building’s environmental impact „ IoT (Internet of Things) sensors in the operating phase to optimize energy consumption, occupancy and comfort „ Preventive and predictive maintenance MORE SUSTAINABLE AND EFFICIENT MATERIALS „ Low-carbon binders and admixtures developed for concrete in particular „ Lightweight materials „ Reuse of materials „ Materials with a high recycled content „ Materials with low CO2 emissions, that capture volatile organic compounds, materials easier to install BUILDING SITE OPTIMIZATION „ Robotics/cobotics „ Digital applications „ Kitting: layout and cutting to size „ Waste management „ Just-in-time delivery 21
