This initiative will enhance Europe's competitiveness in constructing eco-friendly, resilient, and durable infrastructure by providing practical design tools to expedite their widespread adoption.
Construction materials and circular construction
Construction materials and circular construction
Empowering climate-smart, circular, and zero-waste use of underutilised wood from the forest and building stock in the construction sector to support the New European Bauhaus.
The EXEP3D project aims to expand skills, transfer knowledge, and raise the innovation capacity of TTK’s Institute of Civil Engineering in the field of construction engineering with the aim to become a leading competence centre in Estonia and Europe, more specifically in 3D concrete printing (3DCP) and locally produced sustainable mixtures.
Alternatives for an effective transition to sustainable, reusable and recyclable construction products by the innovative production of user and eco-friendly bio-based materials.

Concrete's environmental impact stems from high emissions, water use, biodiversity loss, and urban heat islands, but renewable energy, alternative clinkers, and carbon capture offer sustainable solutions.
Smart material system to enhance the service life of reinforced concrete structures.

Biophilic design integrates natural elements like light, greenery, and organic materials into spaces to enhance well-being, reduce stress, and foster a deeper connection with nature.

Modular construction improves efficiency, reduces costs and environmental impact, and supports sustainability by enabling faster build times, reusing components, and lowering carbon emissions.

In 2025, the construction industry focuses on sustainability, safety, and innovation, leveraging AI, digital tools, and green practices to adapt to climate challenges and drive growth.

The H2020 Infinite project in Slovenia showcases a sustainable building retrofit using prefabricated panels and energy-efficient solutions, reducing costs and inspiring future eco-friendly renovations across Europe.
