See how Swisspearl's award-winning circular noise-barrier project uses BIM for material traceability, reuse planning and LCA calculations with Anavitor LCA and Archicad.
Circular Facades in Practice: Sustainable Material Flows in BIM
What the recording covers
Building with circular material flows requires more than good intentions. This webinar, hosted with Swisspearl Sverige, shows how BIM makes circular facade design traceable and verifiable in practice.
Anna Ranow walks through Swisspearl's Vinnova-funded circular noise-barrier project, winner of the InfraAward in 2023 and 2025. The project tracks facade panels from production through installation to potential reuse, modelling each lifecycle stage in the BIM model.
Jesper Bremme and Xenofon Lemperos demonstrate how Anavitor LCA connects directly with ArchiCAD to run verified climate calculations on facade materials. Nevim Mäkinen covers the commercial workflow: how to position circular BIM services to architects and project developers who need documented LCA data for planning applications and environmental certifications.
What you will learn
- Why material traceability in the BIM model changes how you approach facade specification
- How to set up the Anavitor LCA workflow in Archicad for circular facade projects
- What the Swisspearl InfraAward project shows about circular noise-barriers in a Swedish construction context
- How LCA documentation from BIM models supports planning applications and environmental certifications
- How to use circular economy principles to differentiate facade consulting services
