The Regenerate Building Assessment Tool is a free engagement tool provided by The University of Sheffield (TUOS) that promotes sustainable projects within the construction industry.
The tool provokes meaningful discussion amongst consultants, contractors, architects and clients, who use it to explore how their decisions impact the flow of materials and consequently their sustainability. This concept is called the circular economic principle (CEP) and seeks to remove the concept of waste from the building system, as well as reducing the need for additional resource extraction.
Previously, The University of Sheffield were using an Excel spreadsheet for their tool, which significantly reduced its effectiveness. Having grown a great working relationship with TUOS on previous projects, they were keen to get us on board to help improve it.
Working with TUOS, we agreed upon developing the tool into a fully-functioning web app that could be accessed online from anywhere and by anyone. We looked at user journeys, UX design and delivered a concept that was much more effective than before.
