Abstract
The construction sector accounts for about 40% of material-, energy- and process-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, which can be reduced by introducing data-driven Circular Economy (CE) approaches. For instance, Design-to-Robotic-Production (D2RP) methods developed in the Robotic building lab, at Technical University (TU) Delft are embedding data-driven systems into building processes. Their potential to contribute to sustainability through increased material-, process-, and energy-efficiency has been explored in several case studies that are presented in this paper. The assumption is that by using these methods and reclaimed wood to minimize demand for new resources and reduce deforestation along the way, CO2 emissions can be considerably reduced.
