Windows are resource-intensive to manufacture and complex to reuse, as many functional requirements need to be met.

This project focuses on creating conditions for the renovation and reuse of windows through a clear process for inventory and quality assessment.

The project consists of three main parts:

1. Inventory and quality assessment: Ten different windows are inventoried and quality-assessed before they are dismantled.
2. Laboratory testing: Windows are tested in the laboratory to verify the inventory and the windows’ properties.
3. Life cycle analysis: Data from the inventory and laboratory testing is used to assess the resource and climate impact of reused windows compared to new ones.
