The buildings' life cycle assessment is missing consensus on the methods for revealing environmental benefits in case of components that are designed disassembly. To clarify conflicting guidelines, this study provides a new improved method and investigates its applicability by comparing it to two approaches suggested previous literature. effects methodological choices applying them three buildings with same spatial layout but different structural solutions: business as usual, wooden...
Abstract Adoption of the design for disassembly (DfD) concept is suggested as a promising strategy to cope with climate targets and increase circular economy in construction sector. Yet, little used partially due technical challenges, including inadequate information about demolition characteristics components. This study aims investigate demands linked new concrete components purpose reuse. In building phase, cause majority emissions. Thus, these also have greatest potential CO 2 emissions...
Abstract Due to the heavy environmental impacts on building industry, wood-based materials are gaining interest. They may improve indoor climate and have a low carbon footprint compared steel concrete structures. This study provides knowledge of wood shavings (WSs) WSs improved with clay as insulation materials. The defines lifecycle emissions five different wall structures, which two conventional type in Finnish context three insulation. follows EN standards buildings’ life cycle assessment...
Policy objectives aimed toward zero-energy buildings call for the utilization of building-integrated renewable energy and distributed resources (DER). To enhance DER, previous literature proposed concept an integrated community system (ICES). This research suggested using superblocks (units multiple urban blocks) to define geographical limits, social contexts, possibly common administrations ICESs along with other living- sustainability-related activities in context. Through interviews key...
