HOUSEFUL WORKSHOP SERIES | Digital Enablers for circularity in the built environment

November 18th, 2022

ITeC and Turntoo, two Houseful partners, will demonstrate how digital technology can serve as an enabler to improve the circularity of materials, the building, and the entire process. The event is free of charge.

As part of the European project Houseful, TurnToo and Itec will host a workshop on circular economy in the built environment.
