The main goal of the HOUSEFUL project is to develop and demonstrate an integrated systemic service (HOUSEFUL Service) composed of 11 circular solutions co-created by stakeholders within the current housing value chain. The HOUSEFUL Service aims at the circular management and efficient use of water, waste, energy and material resources for all stages of the European building life-cycle. The integrated systemic service will be presented as an on-line Software as a Service (SaaS) tool, enabling the replication of proposed circular solutions offered to stakeholders as Circular Economy Business Opportunities (CEBOs) at EU level: renting, leasing, customer service, capacity building service and/or combination of them.
HOUSEFUL will enhance the systemic shift in the housing sector providing the best strategy to move towards a circular economy while facilitating the decision-making process among stakeholders.
The project activities include:
The design of new, more efficient processes and procedures (EPP) for the construction/refurbishment and demolition phases of the building life, leading to a net reduction in the use of resources (materials, energy and water), minimising the waste destined to landfills (reduction from current 40% to 10% in 10 years as a realistic scenario, considering that the aim of circular economy package is 5% until 2030) and selecting/using sustainable materials (M) for improving the energy efficiency of buildings. To engage with the stakholders from the entire building value chain to co-create together with them the ciruclar solutions.
