FFG Project KRAISBAU officially launched with a kick-off meeting

The project consortium of 33 companies, start-ups and institutions will be researching and working over the next four years to implement a circular economy throughout the life cycle of buildings. This will be achieved in particular through the use of AI tools.

However, the project will not only focus on the planning and construction of new, circular buildings, but also on the question of how we can best deal with existing buildings in Austria. How can buildings and their components be digitally recorded? How can we reliably determine which components can be reused and how? How can the service life of buildings be extended? What applications are there for construction waste if a building has to be demolished after all?

The project consortium wants to find answers to these and other questions. The findings will be made available to the entire industry by means of factsheets, roadmaps and training courses.
