HOUSEFUL
At EU level, the housing sector is responsible for 9% of GDP,
but it also uses 50% of the extracted materials,
40% and 30% of available energy and water respectively,
aside from causing 30% of total waste
and 35% of green-house gas emissions.
The HOUSEFUL project proposes an innovative paradigm shift towards a circular economy for the housing sector. The main goal is to develop and demonstrate an integrated systemic service composed of 11 circular solutions co-created by stakeholders in the housing value chain. The HOUSEFUL approach will be demonstrated in 4 demo-sites in Austria and Spain, adapting the concept to different scenarios, including social housing buildings. The project’s solutions will be evaluated from an environmental, economic and social point of view.
