About the project

The project is conducted by Polish Green Building Council – PLGBC and was submitted under the climate call dedicated for circular economy under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme.

The project obtained co-financing in the call for proposals Strengthened implementation of Circular Economy under the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Programme, in the area of climate change mitigation and adaptation.

The beneficiary of the project is the Polish Green Building Council. The project is co-financed in 85% by the Environment, Energy and Climate Change Program of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism (of which 85% comes from the EEA Financial Mechanism and 15% from the national budget).

The total cost of the project is EUR 425 000 (over PLN 1.8 M), of which the maximum amount of co-financing is almost EUR 360 000 (PLN 1.5 M).

The aim of the project carried out by the Polish Green Building Council (PLGBC) is to create a compendium of knowledge on the principles of designing buildings in accordance with the CE idea and to disseminate this knowledge among construction market stakeholders. Thanks to the involvement of project partners, guidelines will be developed on how to practically apply the CE principles in construction, which will be possible to replicate in the future.

The CIRCON project will contribute to the design of buildings taking into account their longevity, durability as well as the possibility of future deconstruction so its components can be reused. The guidelines will also reflect principles for designing buildings to be resilient and adaptive to climate change.

The target groups of the project will be key players in the construction industry, such as architects, building material manufacturers, engineers, deconstruction companies, lecturers and students, as well as investors and contractors.
