Understanding Circularity Knowledge Across the General Public–Expert Spectrum
Circular Economy is increasingly recognized as a multidimensional transition necessary for resource efficiency in the built environment; however, its implementation is hindered by fragmentation. This study investigates the dynamics of circularity knowledge across the public-expert spectrum using a psychometrically validated instrument supported by Item Response Theory. Empirical data were collected from the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland, Türkiye, …

Drivers for adopting circular bio-based building materials to facilitate a circular transition
Employing circular bio-based building materials (CBBMs) mitigates the construction industry’s climate impacts and supports its, and the broader economy’s, transition to a circular model. However, CBBMs remain underutilized in Flanders, Belgium. To boost the adoption of these materials in Flanders, this study identifies 22 potential drivers for CBBM adoption through a literature review and determines 16 main drivers using a mixed-method approach. …
Climate impacts of timber-frame buildings in a life cycle perspective
This study explores the climate change effects of building with wood structural frames in a life cycle perspective, with a focus on biogenic carbon. Analyses of a timber-frame building are carried out considering fossil and biogenic carbon flows during the production, construction, use, and end-of-life stages of the building. Both static and dynamic life cycle modelling are used and compared, to understand the implications of different biogenic c…
Circularity at the neighbourhood scale
The transition to a circular economy is a challenging problem for the built environment, as circularity is not a well-understood term, nor do societal stakeholders have a common vision. The ‘impaC3t’ living lab addresses interrelated issues of defining and applying the principles of circularity at the neighbourhood scale in terms of material use and flow, utility and usefulness of buildings and urban change (densification) and affordability. With…
Challenge-based, interdisciplinary learning for sustainability in doctoral education
Purpose Doctoral candidates possess specialized knowledge that could support sustainability transitions. Doctoral education, however, often focusses on discipline-specific topics and working methods, making it difficult to “see the bigger picture”. This summer school on wood construction gathered doctoral candidates from different fields to explore how solutions to complex sustainability issues could be found by working together across discipline…
Turmoil over the crisis
This work investigates the relationship between the characteristics and survival probabilities of firms, distinguishing between “involuntary” firm exit and exit by merger and acquisition (M&A). More in detail, we study how, and to what extent, innovation capabilities, as proxied by patents and trademarks, are able to shape, together with standard performance variables, the observed dynamics at the firm level. By using comprehensive data on Italia…
