A Nordic piloting program for circularity in technical building solutions creates new business opportunities.
A group of Nordic companies come together to promote circularity in the building sector’s value chain wide effort: a program led by Combient Pure and funded by Nordic Innovation pilots circular technical solutions in buildings to fast-forward the circular offering development of products like Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems, door systems and elevators.
In 2023, Combient Pure, Vasakronan, ASSA ABLOY, KONE and Swegon came together in a joint program to accelerate developments in circularity. The focus was to develop the internal capabilities for circularity in the participating companies. The companies are now continuing the journey to fast-track the development of circular solutions for technical building equipment in a new piloting program, aiming at value chain wide impact. The group of companies is now joined by other industry players: Skanska, Multiconsult, Demontera, NollaE and Cradlenet. The piloting program is funded by Nordic Innovation.
Spring 2025
- Value chain workshops on circularity in technical building solutions, taking place between February and June 2025
- Matching companies for piloting circular solutions in buildings
Fall 2025
- Pilot build-up and execution
Spring 2026
- Review sessions on the results of the pilots
- Dissemination of results through events, public communications and final report
Participating to the Value chain workshops does not require companies to pilot.
The program is open for any building sector related actor that is interested in developing the circularity of technical building equipment. A participating company may for example be a:
- technical building product manufacturer
- property owner, construction company
- installation company
- planning office
- circular marketplace
- provider of logistics
- provider of warehousing services
We encourage you to join us and become a part of this pioneering journey!
- Structural Support and Safety Equipment: Systems that ensure the building's integrity and safety, such as elevators, escalators, and fire suppression systems.
- Environmental and Climate Control Equipment: Equipment to regulate temperature, humidity, and air quality, like HVAC systems, dehumidifiers, and ventilation units.
- Heating Equipment: Systems designed to maintain indoor temperatures for comfort and safety, like radiators, heat pumps, boilers and underfloor heating.
- Energy and Power Management Equipment: Systems that distribute, monitor, and control power within a building, including transformers, lighting, generators, and renewable energy sources (like solar panels).
- Plumbing and Water Management: Equipment for water distribution, drainage, and water treatment, such as pumps, water heaters, and wastewater systems.
- Building Automation and Smart Systems: Digital systems for monitoring, controlling, and automating building functions, including smart sensors, security systems, and building management systems (BMS).
- Gain Industry Insights: We bring you together with leading Nordic companies and help you expand your understanding of circularity in technical building solutions.
- Pilot Solutions: We help you find value chain partners to design and pilot circular solutions in real building projects.
- Impact the Future of Circularity in the Building Sector: We help you contribute to shaping the future of technical building equipment - making the Nordics a leading hub of circular solutions.
- Strengthen Brand and Visibility: We will help showcase your solutions across the Nordic market and gain visibility in national and EU-level discussions.
Please complete the participation form by Jan 31st 2025. In the form, you’ll be asked whether you are interested in both the open value chain workshops and piloting, about your preliminary piloting ideas as well as thoughts on advancing circular solutions.
Let’s transform the technical building solutions industry together and have the Nordics lead the way in creating a sustainable, circular future for the construction industry!
