Abstract

The transition to a circular economy in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry requires coordinated supply chain transitions. Digital tools, such as data-sharing platforms and BIM-based circular design tools, offer potential but remain underutilized, particularly among material suppliers. To bridge this adoption gap, we developed a serious game that connects digital solution developers with AEC professionals, fostering collaboration in circular construction. Tested in a national Growth Fund project, the game simulates real-world challenges, emphasizing needs for data sharing and intermediation. Future integration into lifelong learning programs will equip professionals with the skills to drive circular innovations.
