Organized by: Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC)

Aldren building passport will be discussed at the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction next consultation workshop

Scope and aims of the H2020 project Aldren! will be presented at the multi-stakeholder consultation workshop on Building Measurement, Data and Information organized by the Global Alliance for Buildings and Construction (GABC). The event will be held in London and will be focused on the practical feasibility of developing a so-called “Building Passport”. GABC – Work Area 5 members have decided to explore the feasibility of developing and operationalising a Building Passport as part of its 2018 work programme. To ensure that the tool is fit-for-purpose, they wish to gather feedback from core value chain stakeholders, among which Valencia Institute of Buildings (Spain) has been invited to discuss the topic and give an overview of Aldren, specifically on the building passport that Aldren is willing to deliver to promote a step by step renovation.
