Paving the way
DRASTIC - the acronym for Demonstrating Real & Affordable Sustainable building solutions with Top-level whole life-cycle performance and Improved Circularity - will pave the way for significant whole life-cycle environmental impact reduction in new construction and (deep-energy) retrofit by demonstrating affordable innovative circular solutions in 5 different geographical zones in Europe, covering:
- different building layers, accounting for 90% of GHG emissions
- raw materials, accounting for 72% GHG emissions
- buildings typologies, accounting for 80% of all buildings
- circular strategies, reaching up to 60% of GHG emission reduction
- local drivers
The demonstrators untap on EU scale the potential of 491 MTCO2-eq savings annually, and a financial divergence potential of 33.4 B€ annually, within defined market conditions and based on circular business models.
To reach this ambitious goal, 23 partners from 8 European countries are collaborating, covering the entire construction sector value chain and supported by a co-creation strategy with relevant stakeholders - with VITO/EnergyVille as both project and technical coordinator.
