SWIRCULAR is conducted by a consortium of Swiss research institutions and industry partners, united by a common goal: to reshape the Swiss construction industry through the adoption of circular practices. The consortium represents a wide range of expertise and covers all life cycle phases, ensuring that circular construction innovations are effectively developed for successful implementation.

Material Passports (MP) enable a combined assessment of life cycle assessments (LCA) and circularity assessment of buildings. Semantically rich models, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), facilitate deriving consistent and automated quantity take-offs of the relevant components for calculating whole building life cycle assessment (LCA). Nevertheless, for automating the BIM-based LCA and circularity assessment processes,

Development of a method for the automatic generation of a semantically enriched 3D building model for the determination of components and materials. The refurbishment of the building sector plays a central role in achieving the climate targets in Germany and Europe. According to Dena, in addition to the residential sector, the heterogeneous non-residential building stock

In this project, we propose the fully automated method outlined above and validate it with the help of several complex pilot projects. Existing software tools, including CAALA, are used to calculate the life cycle costs and life cycle assessment of renovation scenarios, thus ensuring practical implementation. The point clouds of the pilot projects are translated

The aim of the research project is to develop a method that enables a partially or fully automated calculation of the embodied emissions (LCA) using the BIM methodology in the course of a multi-criteria variant investigation of buildings for decision support in early design phases. Previous approaches for automating the LCA calculation in early phases
