Material flow analysis

Material flow analyses as a driver of the circular economy

With the material flow analysis of seven selected IBA’27 projects, we have precise data on the materials used in our buildings for the first time: Which materials are available and in what quantities, which will soon be released or are still needed? This analysis is an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to operating buildings in a resource-efficient manner!

The following charts show at a glance how materials flow in our buildings – from use, supply and demand to potential savings. They not only provide a visual representation of the material flow, but are also the first step towards developing realistic strategies for reuse, savings and CO2 reduction!
