Projects

The projects from the Sustainable Built Environments Research Area addresses sustainability, circular economy, social equity, and digital innovation in the built environment. Efforts span from improving plastic circularity and reclaiming materials to integrating advanced modeling tools and AI for energy-efficient urban planning. Several projects focus on user behavior and well-being in buildings, with others target social sustainability through neighbourhood design and sharing economy frameworks. EU-funded initiatives contribute strategies to tackle housing inequality and promote climate resilience. Collectively, the research supports a data-driven, inclusive transition toward circular, energy-efficient, and socially responsive cities.
