Description

Building stock characterisation and circularity aspects as factors in material output valuation

Research project 3c(DC 8)

studies ‘Building stock characterisation and circularity aspects as factors in material output valuation’.
This research will focus on how features of circularity contribute to the value of materials during the urban mining of buildings and the phase of material mobility between an old and new destination, using quantum concepts. The objective of 3c is to explore, develop, and test the environmental and social values of demountable materials on their many potential circular destinations, considering exchangeability, destination flexibility, and reconfigurability. Furthermore, the aim of project 3c is to develop knowledge on how higher levels of circularity, like rethink and restore, can be included in material output valuation.
