Circular Map
Find your circular building partners & support
The Circular Map is the ultimate online mapping platform for circular building knowledge. It features a wide range of exemplar building projects, decision support tools, circular infrastructure, and marketplaces that can be easily located based on your preferences.
Circular Building Knowledge Platform
Circular Building Knowledge platform has been developed by EU Laboratory for Green Transformable Buildings with support of the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations, Province of Limburg, Region of Parkstad, IBA Parkstad 2020 and municipality of Heerlen.
The platform provides a one stop circular building portal with a comprehensive overview of circular buildings, products, and materials as well as policies, guidelines and tools.
- Digital DeconstructionNavigator
The Digital DeConstruction tools are advanced solutions supporting reuse and high-quality recycling of building materials.
- Direct availableFrom materials to Buildings
Build and renovate with recovered materials from deconstructed buildings.
- Matchmaking supply & demandCircular Market Places
The Digital DeConstruction tools are advanced solutions supporting reuse and high-quality recycling of building materials.
- GuidelinesCircular Building Design
Reversible building design guides to help reduce waste and carbon emissions.
- Policies & StandardsDecision Support
Current circular building requirements that every building must meet and policies that guide towards a sustainable building economy. Here you will find the main policies and standards that apply to circular building.
- ToolsCircular Building
Information and design specification tools to support reversible/circular construction for all sectors. Think of circularity assessments, material inventories, life cycle analyses, energy performance, etc.
- Circular Building ProjectsExemplary Projects
Overview of best practices in circular construction that can be used. Also a sub-category of general construction projects to measure regional material flows.
- Systems & ProductsCircular Manufacturing
Suppliers of circular building systems and products designed with reversibility in mind.
- MaterialsCircular Production
Circular building materials can be reused endlessly without loss of quality. Find your supplier of circular building materials below.
- EU ProjectsCircular EU Projects
EU Projects that enhance circular economy in construction accross the continent.
Circularity Meter
Monitor regional materials flows
The Circularity Meter assesses the reuse potential and circularity of materials within a building. The monitoring system shows the potential material flows in relation to the circularity score. It monitors regional building material flows and allows to identify the gap between linear and circular economy in the built environment per region/city.
For each building project recorded in the knowledge platform, the total mass of materials used, reused and reusable and the corresponding embodied CO2 are collected. Other key environmental indicators include on-site renewable energy production and consumption, as well as new green areas and trees planted.
The data is processed and made available in an overview below the Circular Map.
