    • Madaster is a powerful digital platform for managing building resources and advancing circular construction. By uploading BIM (IFC) or Excel files for new or existing buildings, users can automatically generate material passports enriched with data on circularity, sustainability, and financial value. Madaster links imported data with extensive databases to calculate embodied and operational carbon emissions, enabling comprehensive lifecycle assessments.

      The platform provides portfolio-wide insights by revealing material quantities and locations, supporting strategic decisions at both building and territorial levels. Users can assess circularity and disassemblability, identify stranded assets using the integrated CRREM tool, and align their portfolios with climate targets. Madaster is compatible with major certification systems such as EU Taxonomy, BREEAM, and DGNB, ensuring regulatory compliance and future readiness.

      IDA, as an educational institution, provides free Madaster licenses upon request. This offers students and educators the opportunity to explore the platform hands-on and integrate it into their teaching and learning activities.
