Application of Materials Passport to the Wood Frame Construction System Using Revit and Dynamo

The construction industry is responsible for nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions and consumes over 50% of the planet’s natural resources. As population growth continues, the demand for these resources is expected to rise. Within this context, where business models are still largely based on the Linear Economy (LE), the Circular Economy (CE) emerges as a strategy for promoting economic development while reducing dependence on natural resource consumption. To enable the transition from LE to CE, digital tools such as Material Passports (MP) are essential. An MP compiles data and information describing the characteristics of materials to facilitate their recovery and reuse. This study aims to model the MP of a wood-frame panel commercially produced by Tecverde in Brazil. The panel was designed for a building project using 2024 version of Autodesk Revit software. The proposed MP contains 49 parameters grouped into nine categories, and the data were obtained from open databases provided by the company. The results highlight existing challenges related to sustainability parameters, as well as opportunities to incorporate circular value principles into the construction industry.

Abstract

The construction industry is responsible for nearly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions and consumes over 50% of the planet’s natural resources. As population growth continues, the demand for these resources is expected to rise. Within this context, where business models are still largely based on the Linear Economy (LE), the Circular Economy (CE) emerges as a strategy for promoting economic development while reducing dependence on natural resource consumption. To enable the transition from LE to CE, digital tools such as Material Passports (MP) are essential. An MP compiles data and information describing the characteristics of materials to facilitate their recovery and reuse. This study aims to model the MP of a wood-frame panel commercially produced by Tecverde in Brazil. The panel was designed for a building project using 2024 version of Autodesk Revit software. The proposed MP contains 49 parameters grouped into nine categories, and the data were obtained from open databases provided by the company. The results highlight existing challenges related to sustainability parameters, as well as opportunities to incorporate circular value principles into the construction industry.
