"Central Alarms" project
A Cirkla project
project supported by the FOEN.
Why this page?
Cirkla outlines the Centralized Alarms project, giving anyone interested the opportunity to read it, forward this page to those you know, and make comments using the form at the end of this presentation.
What is the central alarm project?
The central alarm system facilitates the search for construction elements offered by the various platforms for the reuse of materials.
How does it work?
I am looking for reusable doors for my project.
I register my search with the central alarm system.
I receive an email every time a new door is published on the participating platforms.
What does this change?
The search on the various platforms takes a lot of time.
Automatically receiving notifications of every new listing that matches my search criteria is much more efficient.
Where is the alarm system located?
The access to the central alarm system is located on cirkla.ch, but also on any platform participating in the project.
What customization for the platforms?
Participating platforms will connect their own alarm systems to the Cirkla project.
Platforms that do not currently have an alarm system will be equipped with one through the project.
Another condition
However, similarity of search criteria will become necessary without the need for them to be exactly the same.
Expected result
The project is pragmatic, relatively simple and yet has a great impact.
What's next?
We will propose dates for online meetings. We will discuss in particular:
Your opinion about this project proposal
How to implement the selected design
Invites others to participate

I find the idea of the central alarm super. However, bauteilclick had such a system for years and we from the Bauteilvermittlung Zürichsee-Oberland (BTVZ) were connected to this system. If someone was looking for something, we got this notification. In all those years we kept statistics and found out that we actually couldn't mediate anything that way. That was sobering.
Today, it is the case that we always have offers, but a low demand for components. It is imperative that more reused components be installed. We are in the process of placing this with the public sector so that they will install them for their own properties.
The search criteria must be rough so that they are met on all platforms. We have chosen very large categories at BTVZ and no fine divisions.
BTVZ is part of the Local Agenda 21 Stäfa association and setting up the alarm system could be a challenge for the programmer. We will see how this can be solved. We will gladly advertise it to the 14 communities that support us. It is great that something can be done in terms of circular economy in the building industry.
