The IGW5 webinar “Driving Sustainable Renovation” was organised as part of the 2025 Study Tour, taking place in Valencia (Spain) on July 1st and 2nd, and IWG5-CSA partners and IWG5 Chair and Co-Chairs were present at the Imagine Montessori School (Valencia).
Miriam Navarro from the Valencia Institute of Buildings (IVE) opened her presentation at the event by introducing the DeCO2 project and detailing the role and work package led by IVE.
The DeCO2 initiative aims to accelerate sustainable, circular renovation across Europe’s built environment by combining technological, social, and policy innovations. In its Spanish demo led by the Valencia Institute (IVE), the project transforms a historical library in Castellón into a controlled dismantling case, unlocking reusable construction and demolition materials, and builds an experimental facility on the UPV campus using reclaimed and innovative recycled materials. IVE’s work package covers materials sourcing, digital twins, lifecycle tracking, and pilot testing of recycled and 3D-printed components in a circular renovation ecosystem.
Through this approach, IVE empowers building professionals with circular renovation tools, such as material tracking, eco-design data systems, and demo case insights, to embed sustainability, reuse, and resource efficiency at every stage of the renovation process.
