Project Database and Environmental and Circularity Database containing information on Basajaun Façade System Modules

<p><strong><span>1. INTRODUCTION</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>The Basajaun project aims to build a sustainable joint between rural and urban areas through circular and innovative wood construction value chains. Building fa&ccedil;ade was one of the innovations developed in Basajaun, which were implemented in digital and real scale demo buildings. The main innovation for the fa&ccedil;ade includes the implementation of&nbsp;</span></strong><span> <strong>hybrid bio-based polymers and wood&nbsp;over three technological systems that incorporate increased use of wood-based components and a novel bio-composite material:&nbsp;the frame profiles, the insulation equipment, and the seal system.</strong>&nbsp;<strong>This implies the need to verify the reduction of environmental impact, including the calculation of its Embodied Carbon.</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span><br>2. REPOSITORY</span></strong> </p> <p><strong><span>The Project Database and Environmental and Circularity Database presented here serve as repositories of the specific information related to the Basajaun Fa&ccedil;ade System's life cycles (A1-A5) employed to assess its cradle-to-practical-completion Embodied Carbon. It can also be used to validate the digital Semantic Framework conceived for the facilitation of Fa&ccedil;ade Environmental Assessment beneath the project.<br>The Project Database contains datasets with technical information on each fa&ccedil;ade module analysed. This should be regarded as a complete database for the Basajaun commission job, including&nbsp;(1, 2, and 3) the list&nbsp;of materials, components, and processes related to three different modules (Glazed Vision, Opaque, and Window modules); (4) the fa&ccedil;ade modules&nbsp;assembly off-site;&nbsp;(5)&nbsp;Information on transporting modules to the construction site; and&nbsp;(6) the construction activities related to Opaque and Window modules.<br>The Environmental and Circularity Database is designed to be unique to the production plant and contains&nbsp;the&nbsp;four datasets. The first dataset (1) provides information on the environmental impact of each possible single material, component, or process related to the fa&ccedil;ade module's life cycle (e.g., carbon factors). Assembly off-site (2) and logistics (3) consumption and emissions data are stored separately in two different datasets.&nbsp;Finally, the dataset related to construction site options&nbsp;(4)&nbsp;contains data on all working activities related to the fa&ccedil;ade modules.</span></strong><span>&nbsp;</span></p> <p><strong><span><br>3. INSTALLATION</span></strong></p> <p><strong><span>All datasets are in .csv format with data separated by a ";".</span></strong><span>&nbsp;<strong><br>Private data belonging to third parties or under copyright, which cannot be published, have been replaced with "omitted".</strong></span></p>
