BIM Integrated LCA for Promoting Circular Economy towards Sustainable Construction: An Analytical Review

Kai Xue et al.

Summary: Sustainable construction is considered a key decision for reducing environmental impact of buildings, with efforts focused on techniques such as life cycle assessment (LCA) and building information modeling (BIM). The recent emphasis on circular economy (CE) has led to prioritization in various sectors including construction. This study critically analyzes the implications, considerations, contributions, and challenges of integrating BIM with LCA and adopting CE in the industry.

A probabilistic predictive model for assessing the economic reusability of load-bearing building components: Developing a Circular Economy framework

Kambiz Rakhshan et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of estimating the reusability of load-bearing building elements for promoting the circular economy in the construction sector. Through advanced supervised machine learning methods, a probabilistic predictive model was developed to evaluate the economic reusability of these elements. Factors such as the need to purchase reused elements early in a project, potential financial risks, procurement process, and labour cost were identified as key economic factors affecting reusability.

Comparative LCAs of Conventional and Mass Timber Buildings in Regions with Potential for Mass Timber Penetration

Maureen Puettmann et al.

Summary: Manufacturing of building materials and construction of buildings make up 11% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Mass timber construction has the potential to reduce emissions by substituting wood for traditional materials like steel and concrete. However, further research is needed to fully understand the long-term carbon mitigation potential of mass timber buildings.

Interactions between Lean Construction Principles and Circular Economy Practices for the Construction Industry

Gabriel Luiz Fritz Benachio et al.

Summary: With the increasing attention to sustainability in the construction industry due to scarcity of resources, the combination of circular economy (CE) and lean construction (LC) concepts may bring benefits. The study found that the LC principle of reducing non-value-adding activities had the most interactions with CE practices, off-site construction practice had the most interactions with LC principles, and the construction stage had the highest average number of interactions across life cycle phases.

The Design and Development of Recycled Concretes in a Circular Economy Using Mixed Construction and Demolition Waste

Marcos Diaz Gonzalez et al.

Summary: The research demonstrates that adding fine and coarse mixed recycled aggregate can increase the compressive strength of sustainable recycled concrete while affecting its tensile strength. Moreover, the use of fine mixed recycled aggregate can mitigate the negative impact of coarse mixed recycled aggregate on the tensile strength of concrete.

IMPLEMENTATION STAGE FOR CIRCULAR ECONOMY IN THE DANISH BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION SECTOR

Lisbeth M. Ottosen et al.

Summary: This study found through interviews that there are significant differences in the awareness and application of circular economy in the Danish construction industry stakeholders, with some viewing circular economy as difficult to scale while others already offering comprehensive circular solutions. There is a need for a common definition and terminology, methods for technical documentation, implementation in digital systems, and support for circularity framework conditions.

Conceptualising the Circular Economy Potential of Construction and Demolition Waste: An Integrative Literature Review

Vasilios Papastamoulis et al.

Summary: Traditional views on construction and demolition waste (CDW) materials often overlook their potential value in a circular economy, leading to their disposal in landfills instead of recycling. Current definitions of CDW focus on quantitative, economic, or classification aspects rather than considering the dynamic nature of these materials in spatial and temporal dimensions. This study aims to conceptualize the CEPCDR using a holistic approach and drive future research on measuring its impact.
