The DeCO2 and DigiBUILD projects are dedicated to advancing digitalisation and circular renovation practices in the building sector, driving sustainability, efficiency, and transparency. Together, we have launched a survey, aiming to identify and analyse the key barriers and enabling conditions influencing the adoption of these innovative approaches. The survey explores various dimensions, including technical, informational, market, social, organisational, policy, and regulatory factors. Key challenges examined including interoperability issues, implementation complexity, awareness gaps, financial viability, stakeholder acceptance, regulation compliance, and standardisation efforts.


Our focus is on digital tools such as building information modelling, digital twins, digital building logbooks, renovation passports, and other emerging technologies that support data-driven decision-making in the renovation and construction industry. Additionally, we investigate circular renovation practices, including the use of reused and recycled materials, byproducts from industrial symbiosis, agricultural waste (e.g., straw and sawdust), bio-based materials (e.g., polyurethane foam), and reutilised building rubble to minimise environmental impact.


By participating in this survey, you will help shape strategies that drive the adoption of digitalisation and circularity in the building sector. Your insights will inform policy recommendations, business models, and practical solutions that accelerate sustainable renovation and construction.


The survey will take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete
