How much built-up floor area do we have? Harmonising disparate estimates of building stocks
Experts from three EU projects, SUFFICCS, CircEUlar, and CircoMod are pooling their knowledge to compare methods for measuring building stocks and see how their results stack up.
Construction automation – a recipe for reduced GHG emissions?
The CircEUlar project has an emphasis on GHG reductions: Oxford islooking at how BIM can help. It is apparent that the benefits for small architects and constructors, working (for example) on single home projects with a single contractor, may be limited, and in addition they may not have the resources to devote to its implementation.
