Material intensity in single-family dwellings: Variability between locations, functional unit and drivers of material use in Toronto, Perth, and Luzon

Aldrick Arceo et al.

Summary: This study examines the variability in material use in single-family dwellings in three different locations and explores the impact of different functional units on the perception of material efficiency in buildings. The results show significant variations in material intensities of single-family dwellings, which change depending on the selected functional unit. Housing size is identified as the most influential factor in overall material use, with foundations and walls consuming the most materials.

A scalable data collection, characterization, and accounting framework for urban material stocks

Hadi Arbabi et al.

Summary: This paper introduces a framework for automating the characterization of urban stock using a combination of mobile sensing and computer vision. The prototype implementation of this framework in a neighborhood in Sheffield, UK demonstrates its potential by automatically estimating component counts for buildings. This automated estimation enables stakeholders to better prepare for circular strategies, including building refurbishments, by understanding opportunities across the circular economic hierarchies.

Tracking the material cycle of Italian bricks with the aid of building information modeling

Alessio Miatto et al.

Summary: This study integrates material flow analysis and building information modeling to assess the quantity and use cases of clay bricks and terracotta tiles used for construction in Italy. The research found that maintenance and refurbishment of existing buildings are the main end-use category for these products, while Italian brick production has decreased over the past decade.

The evolution of material stock research: From exploring to rising to hot studies

Chenling Fu et al.

Summary: The study of material stocks in buildings, infrastructure, and durable products has evolved through three stages: initial exploration, rising period, and a hot period. Research objectives shifted from macroscopic observation to refined management, with a focus on exploring application, role, and service functions of material stocks. The scale of research also shifted to urban and community levels for refined management and detailed study of the role and function of stocks. Future directions include exploring microscale models, focusing on recycling urban minerals and electronic wastes, and implementing a circular economy through a combination of material properties and product functions.

Semisupervised machine learning classification framework for material intensity parameters of residential buildings

Xaysackda Vilaysouk et al.

Summary: This study classified the material intensity (MI) of buildings using semisupervised machine learning, with input data from a global database. Results revealed seven building clusters, with three clusters following a Weibull distribution. Inferred building type labels can be used as additional attributes to the original dataset for new possibilities in other studies.

Quantifying urban mass gain and loss by a GIS-based material stocks and flows analysis

Yupeng Liu et al.

Summary: Rapid urbanization leads to increased demand, use, and waste of construction materials. Existing frameworks tend to underestimate material flows due to insufficient descriptions of key processes. This study identifies important processes and integrates them into an improved framework to capture all material flows accurately.

What matters most to the material intensity coefficient of buildings? Random forest-based evidence from China

Ruirui Zhang et al.

Summary: This study used a state-of-the-art ensemble model to investigate the impact of building attributes on the material intensity coefficient (MIC) in Chinese buildings. The results showed that building structure, construction year, use type, and region have varying levels of influence on MIC. The study also provided a quick MIC calculator and demonstrated its applicability in material stock and flow analysis.

Determining the material intensities of buildings selected by random sampling: A case study from Vienna

Jakob Lederer et al.

Summary: This study randomly selected buildings in Vienna and determined their material intensities, finding that the insulation material intensities in older buildings were higher. Expressing material intensities related to different reference values improved comparability with other studies. Further research, especially regarding the selection of representative samples of buildings, is needed.

High-Resolution Maps of Material Stocks in Buildings and Infrastructures in Austria and Germany

Helmut Haberl et al.

Summary: The study presents an alternative approach for mapping material stocks based on high-resolution EO imagery and OpenStreetMap data, with a focus on Austria and Germany. The method yields more complete results compared to other data sources and avoids the use of costly cadastral data, making it suitable for mapping larger areas and tracing trends over time.

Capturing variability in material intensity of single-family dwellings: A case study of Toronto, Canada

Aldrick Arceo et al.

Summary: This study quantifies the material intensity of 40 single-family wood framed dwellings in Toronto, Canada, revealing a large variability in material use and identifying the largest drivers. The findings provide valuable insights for including variability in typology approaches to bottom-up urban material intensity and designing policy pathways to reduce material use in single-family dwellings.

Estimating the material stock in wooden residential houses in Finland

Bahareh Nasiri et al.

Summary: The study quantified the amount of wood available for cascading in Finnish residential houses and found that a significant amount of wood is nearing end of life, providing a potential resource for reuse and recycling. Further analysis is needed to effectively utilize the reusable wood, including assessing quality, type, and availability.

Spatial characterization of construction material stocks: The case of the Paris region

Vincent Augiseau et al.

Summary: This article examines the spatial distribution of construction materials in the Paris region in 2013, using a GIS modeling approach to estimate and locate different types of stocks. The study found a higher proportion of underground materials in anthropogenic stocks, with higher stock density in central Paris. Data suggests that systematic assessment of construction materials stocks in French regions and cities can be conducted using statistical data and GIS modeling.
