Scandinavian Sustainble Circular Construction

Closed

The goal is to build more sustainable and energy-efficient public buildings. The S2C project aims to raise the level of knowledge and change the attitude towards building sustainably. Based on three cases, the project will develop tools, models and “best practices” for an increased understanding of how municipalities and public developers should get the most sustainability, energy efficiency and circular economy for money. The project follows the constructions in three countries: a new vocational school in Grimstad, Norway, Børne- og Ungeuniverset in Aalborg municipality on Jutland, and Hoppet in Gothenburg municipality. The exchange of experience will take place during construction times, between cases and regions involved. Concretely, it is about looking at energy consumption in plant operation, the use of sustainable materials, architectural solutions and energy-saving and sustainable building processes. The project wants to be able to show examples of how municipalities can impose demands on sustainability and circular economy in procurement and the subsequent cooperation with the contractor.
