LTH Profile Area: Circular Building Sector

Circularity in the building sector is crucial for achieving a carbon neutral, sustainable society. The Profile Area Circular Building Sector addresses the industry's major challenges: carbon impact and energy use, use of natural resources, and waste generation. The Profile Area contributes new knowledge on circular solutions and approaches, bridging the gap between industry and academia.

 

A circular building sector will drastically reduce its energy use, carbon dioxide emissions, generation of waste and use of virgin materials.

Infrastructure

The infrastructures specific to the Profile Area are located at LTH, Faculty of Engineering. The participating research groups have access to experimental resources for testing of a wide range of materials and of components and structures of different types and sizes. A joint Sustainable Community Building Lab (SCB-Lab) is under formation, aiming at creating a one-stop-shop for researchers and industry partners in need of experimental resources.
