Unlocking Circularity

Revealing the potential
of built structures

orto is an interdisciplinary specialist in the digitalization and assessment of built structures.

Using technologies for analysis and digital modelling, we reconstruct and visualise existing data to enable sustainable development.

Since 2022, we have been fostering collaboration in 3D inventory models with orto space, allowing precision where it matters most — at the very start of a project.

    Identification of carbon sinks in existing buildings

    2025-2026

    Duration

    • Technical and methodological determination of carbon sinks in existing buildings

    • Consortium standard for sustainable life cycle assessment

    A DIN SPEC is a standard developed by a consortium of experts in order to close an urgent standardisation gap. This DIN SPEC project defines requirements for determining the carbon bound in building materials in existing buildings. The statements are intended to enable a well-founded assessment of the environmental impact of the demolition or preservation of a building.

    About the consortium

    The project pursues the vision of a construction industry that fulfils the requirements of recyclability and resource conservation - and provides the necessary tools for this. orto GmbH initiated the 2024 project as part of the DIN Connect programme. It is being developed in collaboration with leading research institutions and practice partners, including the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), the Helmholtz Centre for Geo Research (GFZ), Bauhaus Erde and other organisations, real estate companies and architecture firms.
