Two pilot projects illustrate the potential of digital tools to enhance circularity in the construction industry. The first pilot examined the use of AI to generate BIM models from buildings shceduled for demolition, facilitating the reuse of building materials in new projects. The second pilot evaluated a platform that automatically inventories materials within a building, supporting circular construction practices. The findings underscore the role of digitalization and automation in advancing sustainable building practices.
Helsinki’s Circular Economy Cluster Program promotes circular economy innovations and business by bringing together operators in the construction sector.
