What Future Lies Ahead for Circular Business Models Research?

open access: yesStrategic Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circular economy—wherein waste is designed out, materials are circulated and nature is regenerated—has reached global recognition. From policy to business circles, it is seen as a viable strategy to address multiple societal grand challenges—including climate change and depletion of finite natural resources—and build a more resilient ...

Second‐Life Thermoset Manufacturing via Mild Solvolysis of Epoxy‐Matrix Composites and Wet‐Laid Mat Production

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
From end‐of‐life pultruded CFRP profiles (1) to second life composites (7) through mild solvolysis (2,3), wet‐laid nonwoven mat fabrication (4), resin impregnation (5), and compression molding (6). ABSTRACT The growing use of carbon fiber–reinforced thermosets has led to the accumulation of significant composite waste, posing environmental and economic

Office-user oriented façade design: an interactive/adaptive design approach

open access: yes, 2020
Users in traditional office buildings often experience discomfort with the indoor environment and have issues with how this is being regulated. Research has shown that users’ satisfaction in an office building, which consists of their comfort and health,

Fiber‐Reinforced Bio‐Epoxy Composites: Degradation Mechanisms in Saline Environment

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Constituent level degradation of bio‐epoxy composites after saline aging. ABSTRACT This study examines the degradation behavior of bio‐epoxy composites reinforced with glass, basalt, carbon, and flax fiber yarns in a simulated saline environment. Fiber yarns and composite samples were exposed to 3.5% NaCl solution at 60°C for up to 3000 h.

From Plot to Block: Participatory Land Use for Climate‐Resilient Detached Housing in Finland

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how urban planning in Finland is adapting to climate change, focusing on the practical challenges planners face in single‐family housing areas. It draws on participatory workshops with municipal planners in Pori and Joensuu, where three planning tools—green factor metrics, impermeable surface limits, and the 3–30‐300 ...

Investigating the Environmental Impact of Additive Construction: A Systematic Analysis of the Life Cycle Assessment Studies

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been identified as a potential catalyst for a paradigm shift within the construction industry, due to its capacity to enhance sustainability, reduce waste, and augment design flexibility. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) that explores the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in ...

Fragmentation Across Scales, Geography, and Climate Challenges in European Urban Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation Research: A Bibliometric and Systematic Review

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT European urban climate change research lacks integration across scales, geography, and climate challenges, despite Europe's coordinated policy frameworks. Through a hybrid bibliometric and systematic review of 1528 studies (2010–2025) using Cortext Manager and PRISMA 2020 guidelines, this study maps the conceptual patterns, knowledge gaps, and

Adaptive Façade – which criteria are needed?

open access: yes, 2015
Adaptability of facades is often conceived as a performative objective, and less as a formal objective. Hence, so-called ‘adaptive’ façade systems are highly engineered solutions that autonomously control the energy flow via highly-efficient materials ...

Adaptive Façade for Windload reduction in High-rise

open access: yes, 2015
Windload is a critical force effect to high-rise structure. With this lateral load, the building requires large amount of material for structure in order to handle this load.

Beyond Efficiency: Sufficiency Strategies for Sustainable Development in the Housing and Building Sectors

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As the housing and building sectors face the urgent challenge of decarbonization, attention is increasingly shifting beyond conventional efficiency strategies toward the principle of sufficiency. This study explores how sufficiency can reshape the housing landscape, although there is no standardized understanding of sufficiency in these ...
