About our Research

Smart Biobased Construction

SmartBioC is using gamification and AR, VR and BIM models to enable the mainstream uptake of circular and net-zero biobased building solutions.

A curated set of Wall, Roof and Floor assemblies are part of the biobased building choices.

The initiative provides zero-carbon, healthy and socially and economically viable biobased solutions for the construction industry in the UK and globally.

Digital technologies can accelerate the transition of the construction industry into a 50% less greenhouse gasses polluting industry, with a 50% increase on output speed
and 33% cheaper
