Impact on science and innovation

The project will advance scientific knowledge by:

  • Developing and validating integrated BIM–LCA workflows for whole-life carbon assessment.
  • Providing region-specific evidence on embodied carbon and life-cycle impacts.
  • Contributing to the evolution of methodologies supporting circular construction and digital sustainability assessment.
  • Supporting future research and innovation through open-access datasets and tools.

Scientific results will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications, international conferences.

Societal and Professional Impact

The project will generate tangible benefits for society by:

  • Increasing transparency on the climate impact of buildings.
  • Improving public understanding of sustainable and circular construction.

  • Supporting municipalities and practitioners in making evidence-based decisions

  • Strengthening trust between citizens, professionals and public authorities.

Through surveys, workshops and communication activities, SUSTAINOVATE actively engages civil society as part of the sustainability transition.

Long-Term Impact and Sustainability

Beyond the project duration, SUSTAINOVATE will:

  • Provide reusable methodologies and digital tools.
  • Support capacity building among professionals and early-career researchers.
  • Enable further development of national and regional sustainability strategies.
  • Contribute to long-term decarbonisation of the building sector.
