Circular Housing Asset Renovation & Management - CHARM
No More Downcycling
Increasing resource efficiency in the housing sector is of great importance for a sustainable society. A circular economy promotes optimal reuse of building materials at at least an equivalent value (e.g. bricks reused as bricks). The ‘CHARM: Circular Housing Asset Renovation & Management - No More Downcycling’ project develops and implements an asset management approach that prevents downcycling of materials in renovation and construction of social rented dwellings.
CHARM develops and implements an asset management approach that prevents downcycling of materials in renovation and construction of social rented dwellings by creating:
- circular building strategies tested in demonstration examplers;
- guidelines for a circular procurement strategy for social housing organisations;
- material exchange platforms to enable circular flows of materials and building components in the social rented sector.
