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,

To achieve the global targets of the Paris Agreement of limiting global warming, it is necessary to reduce the operational energy of buildings, which are responsible for around 30% of the global greenhouse gas emissions. Building Energy Performance Simulation (BEPS) is an established method to estimate the building’s energy demand in early design stages. Building

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
