DiCYCLE: Rethinking the buildings` end-of-life

Abstract: The presented research project DiCYCLE aims at identifying, analyzing and mapping current End-of-Life processes in Architecture, Engineering and Construction, as well as optimizing these processes for digitalization, using Building Information Modeling, blockchain and smart contracts. The goal is to create new business models and enable sustainable digital design, construction and deconstruction workflows that facilitate the reuse and recycling of building materials and components along the building life cycle.
