“CIRCULAR CONSTRUCTION ENABLED BY PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGIES” 📍The Hague University of Applied Sciences (THUAS)Johanna Westerdijkplein 75, The Hague, NETHERLANDS 👉🏼 CLICK HERE TO REGISTER 🗓️ Click here to see the programme The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of energy and raw materials globally. Within the EU, it contributes nearly 40% of emissions and accounts for almost one-third of all waste generated. Therefore, embracing a circular approach within the building sector holds significant promise for delivering environmental, social, and […]
A new paper related to SUM4Re has just been published: Toward a collaborative circular ecosystem within the built environment, co-written by Phuc Huynh Evertsen and Vegard Knotten. ABSTRACT The built environment has drastically transitioned toward the circular economy (CE) to reduce carbon footprint, waste emission, and resource consumption. The circular ecosystem with close collaboration between diverse actors is critical to the sector’s CE transition success. However, a holistic perspective on the circular ecosystem of the built environment remains lacking. This […]
Hosted by our partner R2M Solution, and the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology, Sustainable Places (SP) is an annual hybrid event focused on sustainability in the built environment, taking place from September 23 to 25, 2024. The conference aims to address sustainability targets and climate change by discussing innovative solutions related to buildings, urban planning, and energy systems, showcasing results from EU-funded research projects. Today, SUM4Re and fellow sister projects gathered in a workshop to discuss a common topic […]
Eurocarto 2024, the annual conference of the European Association of Cartography, took place last week, focusing on advancements in cartography and geographic information science. The event gathered researchers, practitioners, and industry professionals to share insights and discuss innovative approaches within the field. Our partner from the University of Vigo presented the SUM4Re project, highlighting its efforts in circular construction data management and urban transformation. The project’s focus on developing a traceability system for building materials and enhancing Building Information Modeling […]

SUM4Re was featured in ELSEVIER’s article: A systematic literature review of low-cost 3D mapping solutions, co-written by Jesús Balado, Raissa Garozzo, Lukas Winiwarter and Sofia Tilon. This paper was carried out in the frame-work of the SUM4Re project. In “low-cost” solutions, ensuring economic accessibility and democratizing the availability of emerging technologies stand as pivotal considerations. This study undertakes a systematic literature review of low-cost 3D mapping solutions. Leveraging SCOPUS as the primary database, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis encompassing 1380 publications […]
