CREATING A DIGITAL SOLUTION FOR EARLY-STAGE BUILDING DESIGN, TARGETING LOW CO2 ALTERNATIVES FOR THE RESIDENTIAL SECTOR

At CRH, specifically from the Innovation Center for Sustainable Construction (iCSC), we identify sustainability to be a fundamental strategic imperative for our business, that is deeply embedded in all aspects of our business. Our vision is to develop solutions that build, connect, and improve our world. Since the construction industry contributes to circa 40% of the CO2 emissions, we are bringing to you two challenges that aim to tackle the existing construction industry and provide sustainable solutions to our customers.

1. DIGITAL SOLUTION HACKATHON

Dedicated to students, digital product designers, developers, engineers, and those in the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering sectors to make a real impact.

Why participate?

We have an exciting opportunity for students, digital product designers, developers, engineers, and those in the Architecture, Construction, and Engineering sectors to make a real impact. CRH needs your help to address the urgent environmental challenge in the construction industry: reducing CO2 emissions. The Digital Solution would empower architects and construction companies to design zero Co2 buildings and cities.

The challenge is creating Minimum Viable Products (MVPs), guided by our designers and coaches, who will make sure you are fully supported in this journey.

A webinar will be organized one week prior to the event and it will provide you with all the data, and key features, allowing you time to put together your MVP.

• Address a real-world environmental issue
• Gain recognition and exposure from a global building materials leader
• Expand your network and connect with industry professionals
• Unlock the opportunity to collaborate with us on tool development
• Win a chance to earn 1000 euros
