Project start RUBIN-ISC
The Institute of Construction Management (IBB) starts from January 2022 as a scientific partner in the project "Industrial Standard Carbon Concrete (ISC)", which starts within the BMBF program "RUBIN" (Regional Entrepreneurial Alliances for Innovation). In this project, the standards for building with carbon concrete, which have been missing until today, will be set.
The new industry standard ISC not only increases the economic efficiency and acceptance of carbon concrete as a recently developed building material. It also opens up new areas of application and value chains. Through the ISC, carbon concrete can be anchored in the market in the long term! In addition, the ISC makes an essential contribution to climate-friendly construction by saving resources and significantly reducing CO2 emissions.
A total of €8 million in funding is available to establish the carbon concrete industry standard. The funding will be provided over 3 years from the beginning of 2022.
In the entrepreneurial alliance, IBB will be involved, among other things, in the standardized planning of construction production processes and the creation of quality assurance measures for the tendering and manufacturing processes of carbon concrete. Both contribute to the further integration of the carbon concrete construction method in the market. Furthermore, more in-depth investigations into occupational health and safety, recycling and the digital integration of carbon concrete components will ensure that the carbon concrete construction method is standardized.
