Construction Climate Challenge Funds New Research Projects
The construction industry faces many challenges connected to climate change. The Construction Climate Challenge has now selected two new research projects that aim to come up with solutions on how to reduce CO2 emissions within the industry.
The Construction Climate Challenge initiative (CCC) has been funding research studies since 2014. Through supporting and initiating research projects in relevant areas of construction, CCC acts as a bridge between the industry and sustainability research. During spring 2016 CCC launched a new call for major research projects. Two proposals have now been selected to receive funding.
“Research is a very important part of the CCC and can help us to reduce CO2 emissions in the construction industry. The knowledge that exists today is not enough; we must come up with new solutions and methods on how we can work towards a sustainable future and meet the existing challenges,” says Dr. Peter Wallin, CCC Research Manager.
