About the Project

HOUSEFUL focuses on innovative circular solutions and services for new business opportunities in the EU housing sector, developing and demonstrating an innovative integrated circular service in 4 full scale residential buildings.

It focuses on the optimal management/use of water, waste, energy and material resources for all stages of the life cycle of new builds or refurbishment of existing buildings. The service will be driven by a simple-to-use interactive Software as a Service (SaaS) whereby new circular economy business opportunities will be co-created and offered for replication for a successful transition to a circular model. Citizens will be able to determine the efficiency of water, waste, energy and material and the costs of improvements through a user-friendly interactive calculation tool.

Communication activities are often carried out in the four languages of the project (English, German, Spanish and Catalan). For example, the website, the videos, dissemination materials etc.
