Reversibility and Durability as Potential Indicators for Circular Building Technologies
According to the Circularity Gap Report 2020, a mere 8.6% of the global economy was
circular in 2019. The Global Status Report 2018 declares that building construction and operations
accounted for 36% of global final energy use and 39% of energy–related carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions. The Paris Agreement demands that the building and construction sector decarbonizes
globally by 2050. This requires strategies that minimize the environmental impact of buildings
and practices extending the lifecycle of their constituents within a circular resource flow. To ensure
that eective measures are applied, a suitable method is needed to assess compliance in materials,
processes, and design strategies within circular economy principles. The study’s assumption is that
synthetic and reliable indicators for that purpose could be based on reversibility and durability
features. The paper provides an overview of building design issues within the circular economy
perspective, highlighting the diculty in finding circular technologies which are suitable to enhance
buildings’ service life while closing material loops. The results identify reversibility and durability as
potential indicators for assessing circular building technologies. The next research stage aims to further
develop the rating of circularity requirements for both building technologies and entire buildings.
