Mechanical carbon emission assessment during prefabricated building deconstruction based on BIM and multi-objective optimization [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Machinery operation is a major source of carbon emissions in building deconstruction. Early intervention through Design for Deconstruction (DfD) is crucial for emission reduction, yet the factors influencing these emissions are underexplored.

Deconstruction of a prefabricated concrete building designed for disassembly–cost comparison of deconstruction and demolition

Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability
Design for disassembly (DfD) is a suggested concept for enhancing circular economy in the construction sector. To expand the usage of the DfD concept, and especially promote the markets for DfD components, more detailed cost analysis is required of each ...

Implications of circular strategies on energy, water, and GHG emissions in housing of the Global North and Global South

Cleaner Engineering and Technology, 2023
As urbanization continues to surge, building materials are poised to become a dominant contributor to global emissions. Traditionally, the building sector has focused on mitigating “operational carbon” linked to a building's day-to-day energy needs, such
