Abstract

This event was held on 17 July 2024 at UWE Frenchay Campus with the aim of exploring ways to overcome barriers-to-adoption and accelerate the uptake of biobased materials in the construction industry amongst diverse stakeholders and ‘end-users’ including built environment professionals focusing on net-zero carbon construction.

The event was part of ongoing research and public engagement activities by the "Smart Bio Based Construction" (SmartBioC) (https://www.smartbioc.com/) project at UWE Bristol. SmartBioC is redefining performance indicators used to assess sustainable building choices and it is implementing smart digital technologies and ‘serious games’ to enable widespread use of biobased materials and building components.
