This workshop brings together five cutting-edge Horizon Europe projects – DATAWiSE, INBLANC, WILSON, DeCO2, and RECONMATIC – that are tackling these systemic challenges with complementary, data-driven approaches. Together, they offer a unique ecosystem of solutions that support integrated, interoperable, sustainable, and digitalised construction and renovation processes. 

• DATAWiSE focuses on improving building operations and lifecycle decision-making using advanced analytics and AI. By integrating diverse data sources, it aims to optimise energy use, comfort, sustainability, and risk management. Underpinning these services is a comprehensive data infrastructure designed for interoperability with external data spaces, ensuring scalability and real-world application.
• INBLANC addresses fragmentation in the construction sector with an open ecosystem for seamless use of lifecycle data. The project introduces novel accumulation frameworks, digital logbooks, and deep integration with EU data spaces to enhance decision making in renovation, energy planning, and facility management. Demonstrations cover use cases such as low carbon renovation and urban integration.
• WILSON explores decentralised data management through a data mesh architecture combined with digital twin technology. The project develops nine core innovations and twelve key exploitable results, including tools for predictive maintenance, biodiversity assessment, semantic renovation, and smart readiness indicators.
• DeCO2 introduces a dynamic renovation framework centered on decarbonisation through social and policy innovation. With a user-centric, location based approach, it leverages local industrial ecosystems to promote symbiotic renovation processes. DeCO2’s digital tools accelerate the uptake of sustainable materials and Construction 4.0 practices across the value chain, fostering durable, policy aligned partnerships for long- term impact.
• RECONMATIC targets lifecycle construction and demolition (C&D) waste management. Through automation and digital tools, the project improves data exchange, streamlines logistics, and enhances decision- making for reuse and recycling. RECONMATIC aims to reduce waste generation at the source and increase material valorisation, advancing the vision of a zero-waste construction sector by 2050.

The workshop will follow a concise, interactive format, with short presentations from each project showcasing technical innovations, key challenges, early results, and lessons learned. A Q&A session will invite the audience into a dynamic discussion on common barriers, collaboration opportunities, and strategies for scaling and replication. More than a project showcase, this session aims to build bridges—with municipalities, industry stakeholders, and other Horizon Europe initiatives around shared goals of circularity, digitalisation, and decarbonisation.
