Circularity Work Package Webinar

Webinar: Presentation of Inspiration Catalogue for Policy Measures to Improve the Use of Existing Buildings

07may

On May 7th, we invite you to the launch of a new Nordic inspiration catalogue to improve the utilisation of existing buildings. The catalogue gathers more than 30 cases from across the Nordic region, highlighting policy measures and specific case examples which aims to improve the use of the existing building stock. During the webinar, Nordic construction authorities and stakeholders from across the construction sector will elaborate on the cases for inspiration.

The inspiration catalogue is developed as a part of Nordic Sustainable Construction’s Circularity Work Package Task 1: floor optimisation, lifetime extension and transformation. It provides examples on policy measures across the Nordic region that are already introduced or with potential to improve the use of existing buildings rather demolishing and building new. Furthermore, it provides case specific examples from across the Nordic region and across the Nordic construction sector.

During the webinar, Nordic authorities and stakeholders from the construction sector will present selected case examples from the catalogue. You will also have the opportunity to engage directly during the Q&A session.
