This study describes the results of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) applied to 24 statistically-based dwelling archetypes, representative EU housing stock in 2010. The aim is quantify average environmental impacts related Europe and define reference values (baseline scenario) for policies development. have been calculated taking into consideration number dwellings (clustered per typology, year construction climate zone) each model. System boundaries include production, construction, use (energy...
The topic of sustainable affordable housing in developing countries is gaining increasing importance within international debates. challenge to find a balance between the concepts sustainability and affordability building construction fragile contexts, overcoming basic self-made shelter solutions towards creation durable housing. In particular, concerning selection constructive technological solutions, goal shift from current decision-making process based only on economic factors more...
The environmental issue requires a renewed attention in considering the role of materials project, imposing new gaze into their entire life cycle: procurement, production processes, assembly, maintenance and replacement cycles, disassembly, reuse/recycle disposal. This perspective based on circularity improvement knowledge skills traditionally involved design project reconfiguration relationships among operators supply chain. New research experimentation horizons open up; opportunities for...
Unlike other industrial sectors that already apply re-manufacturing, the construction sector is slow to experiment with these sustainable practices. Hence, this paper introduces key results of Re-NetTA project, conducted at Politecnico di Milano and funded by Fondazione Cariplo (2018-0991), which intends outline conditions necessary activate circular processes in field tertiary construction. In order extend life products, proposes three models based on re-manufacturing. Developed...
Abstract The construction sector is globally acknowledged as carbon-intensive, prompting urgent action especially in BRICS countries due to the high-contribute and continuous urban growth. Here, advocating for sustainable practices throughout entire building life cycle imperative, extending lifespans without locking operational energy inefficiencies using materials techniques geared resource efficiency circularity. Following hotspots prioritization, perspective stepwise approach, paper...
Abstract The building sector plays an important role in achieving the climate objectives of EU Green Deal. While prioritizing measures to reduce operational energy and GHG emissions has proven beneficial, it shifted burdens by increasing embodied emissions. Quantifying regulating throughout entire life cycle is therefore crucial. An ongoing DG GROW project investigating strategies within EU. Various steps are being carried out achieve research goals: identification data needs sources,...
In view of the circular economy transition, building sector is facing challenge overcoming conventional organizational models that follow a “take-make-dispose” in favor models, exploiting re-manufacturing to close loop. Starting from analysis practices well affirmed other industrial sectors and lesson learned terms key features, paper focuses on strategies new tools for short-life products coming renewal interventions office, exhibition, retail. particular, three novel are presented, based...
