Preparation of a final thesis as a master or bachelor in the field of wood construction in our new Würth Innovation Center. Construction is one of the most resource-intensive, energy- and waste-intensive industries. In Germany, around half of the greenhouse gas emissions, more than half of the total waste collection and about half of the resource consumption are due to the construction and operation of buildings. Social rethinking and political will increasingly strengthen the pressure on architects and engineers to design and implement circular structures. The aim of the work is first to discuss the essential principles of circular construction. The focus is to be placed on the reuse of components and entire component groups. It is necessary to clarify the conditions under which re-use is technically and legally possible. In addition, it is intended to check the effects of this on the product portfolio. In addition, specific products of the portfolio are to be identified which could already be used for non-destructive rebuilding of buildings. Finally, products are to be defined which are necessary for reuse of components and component groups. In addition, you will get insights into exciting tasks of the daily business. A concrete recommendation for action for the future product portfolio is to be derived from the findings.
