From demolition and recycling to prefabrication and reuse
Green Energy Park
Brussels - Belgium
The Belgian demo will be located on the innovation campus of Green Energy Park in Zellik, a key meeting point for researchers and industry professionals.
The building will feature a bioclimatic design to reduce energy use, employ fossil-free building services, and use prefabricated elements made from low-carbon AAC concrete, easy to adapt and reuse elsewhere.
In the first phase of construction, manufacturer Holland Composites will provide prefabricated elements with a recycled PET foam core and a bio-resin shell to construct the building envelope.
For the second phase, Vrije Universiteit Brussel will develop an alkali-activated concrete panel with textile-reinforced concrete shells to replace the storey floor. No waste will be created during the replacement.
