Given the seasons' spirit, it is a good opportunity to introspect and take account of what the year has brought us. This was an eventful year - many events, many projects, many publications. Let's look into the main advances that we took this year at Materials and Durability - DTU Sustain, DTU Sustain. 👉 #circulareconomy practices mapping of the main #construction #materials #valuechains and what that means for #climatemitigation - #cement #steel #glass #insulation #wood #brick - follow the link for more info https://lnkd.in/dc39TyXV 👉 #Insulation materials are looking for #biobase alternatives - #Cellulose and #straw bale emerge as the most promising options for thermal performance and environmental #sustainability - follow the link for more info https://lnkd.in/dUHvM6i5 👉We need #interdisciplinary #systemmodeling that can more holistically predict emissions and provide #policy #recommendations for the challenges that climate change offers - and the #solutions we are developing to mitigate it. The #greentransition shifts the focus from #oil to other #resources - this brings other impacts that are not predicted in current system modeling - follow the link for more info https://lnkd.in/ebN6FiCk These studies come from CO2NSTRUCT #HorizonEurope project. 👉 #Circulareconomy, and generally #decomissioning options, for end-of-life #windturbine #blades can profit for improved supply chain responsibility and collaboration along the different life-cycle stages of the product. follow the link for more info https://lnkd.in/dwGwRASz A main result from BLADES2BUILD #Horizoneurope project. 👉 #circularity #efficiencies, like #recycling rates, do not always align with #environmental #impacts. In fact, if we want to more accurately express #circulareconomy true impacts, we need to better express the true value of #natural #resources and improve our current #models. follow the link for more info https://lnkd.in/dZi5szmh A main results from the collaboration with Centre for Absolute Sustainability. Look into the profiles of our small group - truly bright researchers with a growing will to quantify #sustainability in the #built #environment. The coming year will continue with more results from current and upcoming projects (thinking of CIRCULess). See you in 2025! Ashal Tyurkay (a.k.a.
