Methodology for a material mapping dataset (databank) and C&D waste predictor application/solution integrated in BIM processes

Development and formulation of a methodology for cloud-based datasets, based on data agnostic platform allowing ease of use and simple workflows through the use of API links into existing design authoring applications used form planning and consturction processes. Such methodology shall define requirements on information which have to be provided about:• Materials /products technical and environmental data are known• Materials/products and systems that use a high proportion of recycled/recyclable material are identified (link to T5.3)• Information about manufacturers who offer ‘return schemes’ for construction waste produced during construction (incl. maintenance and rehabilitation) are identified • Proportions of manufactured material that can be recycled at the end-of-life or even re-used completely new product are defined.• Materials / products that have limited potential for recycling once they become contaminated with other products, e.g., partitions and facades that incorporate lots of products to build up the system including one material bonded to another. This represents one of the approaches how to integrate life-cycle based waste management in the whole digitalized construction process.
