“…These practical measures have been thoroughly covered in the literature [17,18]; more recently, there has been a focus on waste minimisation through the use of building information modelling (BIM), inter alia, to coordinate and validate design ahead of construction [19][20][21].…”

Abstract:The construction industry uses more resources and produces more waste than any other industrial sector; sustainable development depends on the reduction of both, while providing for a growing global population. The reuse of existing building components could support this goal. However, it is difficult to reclaim components from demolition, and materials remain cheap compared with labour, so new approaches are needed for reuse to be implemented beyond niche projects. This study therefore reviews waste interventions. Multiple case studies, spanning new builds and refurbishment, were undertaken to examine systemic mechanisms that lead to components being discarded. Evidence from fieldwork observations, waste documentation, and interviews indicates that the generators of unwanted components effectively decide their fate, and a failure to identify components in advance, uncertainty over usefulness, the perception of cost and programme risk in reclamation, and the preferential order of the waste hierarchy mean that the decision to discard to waste management goes unchallenged. A triage process is proposed to capture timely information about existing building components to be discarded, make this information visible to a wide community, and determine usefulness by focusing creativity already present in the industry on an exhaustive examination of component reusability and upcyclability.

“…Thus, there is still a lack of designer help with BIM tools mostly focused on visualization and estimation prediction. Current BIM-aided construction waste minimization framework aims to reduce CDW generation by a decision-making framework [41][42][43], but future works, such as our study, need to link BIM to construction waste, also during the design phase. Two major studies dedicated to deconstruction could be adapted to the specific objective of reuse and will be taken into account in our study.…”

In a context of intense environmental pressure where the construction sector has the greatest impact on several indicators, the reuse of load-bearing elements is the most promising by avoiding the production of waste, preserving natural resources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by decreasing embodied energy. This study proposes a methodology based on a chain of tools to enable structural engineers to anticipate future reuse. This methodology describes the design of reversible assemblies, the addition of complementary information in the building information modeling (BIM), reinforced traceability, and the development of a material bank. At the same time, controlling the environmental impacts of reuse is planned by carrying out a life cycle assessment (LCA) at all stages of the project. Two scenarios for reuse design are applied with the toolchain proposed. A. "design from a stock" scenario, which leads to 100% of elements being reused, using only elements from stock. B. "design with a stock" scenario, which seeks to integrate as many reused elements available in the stock as possible. The case study of a high-rise building deconstructed to rebuild a medium-rise building demonstrated that the developed toolchain allowed the inclusion of all reuse elements in a new structural calculation model. Sustainability 2020, 12, 3147 2 of 24 the largest exploiters of natural resources [8], accounting for between 40% of the total raw materials consumption [9] and 50% [10].This growing development has repercussions on the emission of GHGs, among other indicators. In France, the construction and building industry is the leading emitter of GHGs [11], i.e., 33% of total GHGs. Several studies confirm this number worldwide [6,12,13]. Kumar Dixit et al. [8] define the embodied energy (EE) and embodied carbon (EC). EE during the construction phase is the amount of energy used for the extraction of raw materials, the production and transport of building components as well as the building construction and end-of-life (EOL). Moreover, EC refers to the associated GHG emissions [3]; the operating energy during the operation phase as energy consumption and associated operational carbon emissions during the use phase of buildings (heating, cooling, etc.). The average value of EE is 50% of the total primary energy demand [14]. The share of operational energy seems to decrease recently (even disappearing in passive or zero energy buildings) with technical progress and, therefore, the share of EE increases [15].Another impact of the construction sector is due to waste generation [5,16]. Most of the literature focuses on waste management, which shows a great interest in reducing the construction and demolition waste (CDW) generated by the construction sector as it represents around 40% of the waste produced [17]. Cai et al. [18] and Lismont et al. [19] explained that in Europe, about 25-30% of the waste result from the building sector amounting to 870 million tons annually and Brütting et al. [3] estimated this share at more than a third ...
