BAMB
BAMB (Buildings As Material Banks) is a EU Horizon 2020 research and innovation project enabling a shift to a circular building sector. The purpose of the BAMB project is to reduce waste and the use of virgin materials in the building industry.
A number of of concepts have been developed within the project:
- Buildings levels
- Material(s) Bank
- Circular business models
- Materials Passport
- Reuse potential
- Transformation capacity
- Reversible Building, ~ Building Design
- Circular Building Assessment
These concepts are explained in a series of articles on Designing Buildings Wiki:
- Building levels
- Business models for building material circularity: learnings from frontrunner cases
- Challenging the current approach to end of life of buildings using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach
- Circular Building Assessment
- Circular Business Models
- Circular economy and design for change within the built environment: preparing the transition
- Circular Value Network
- Extending buildings’ life cycle: sustainability early design support tool
- How do current policies support a transition towards a circular economy in the built environment?
- Material flows of the German building sector
- Material loops
- Material(s) Banks
- Materials Passports
- Materials Passports: Providing insights in the circularity of materials, products and systems
- Resource productivity
- Reuse of building products and materials – barriers and opportunities
- Reuse potential
- Reversible Building Design
- Systemic view on Reuse Potential of building elements, components and systems – Comprehensive Framework for assessing Reuse Potential of Building Elements
- Transformation capacity
