This two-day event offers a valuable opportunity to share experiences and learnings from the implementation of projects funded by EEA Grants under the Environment Programme. The projects aim to apply sustainable practices in the construction sector, promoting efficiency in the use of resources and, consequently, sustainability.
The circular economy, a model that aims to optimise the use of materials and resources, reducing waste and promoting recycling and reuse, is extremely important for minimising environmental impact in the construction sector and encouraging long-term sustainability.
The first day's programme, exclusive to Environment Programme partners, includes a visit to the CircularBuild project, presentations on the modular construction system, the challenges of the green transition for construction solutions and a visit to the CircularBuild prototype. In the afternoon, participants will have the opportunity to visit the Adão Barata park in Loures and explore the different spaces, where solutions and innovations related to energy, building information modelling, air quality, waste management, mobility, water efficiency and green spaces will be presented.
On the second day, which starts at 9.30am, the seminar will be held at the emblematic Barbadinhos Steam Pumping Station in Lisbon, providing a unique opportunity to learn about experiences from the practical application of pilot projects funded by EEA Grants under the Environment Programme.
