Life Cycle Assessment of a Regenerative Reuse Design
As population in Israel exponentially increases and urban development adapts to meet housing needs, new building construction in Israel continues to proliferate. With ambitious goals and a binding commitment to the UN to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, it is imperative that Israel implement innovative techniques to follow through on the country’s responsibilities. One of the most promising methods to do so is regenerative building design and adaptive reuse. Current research in the field predominantly focuses on adaptive reuse of heritage buildings and proves a method of choosing appropriate uses for historical buildings. This chapter proposes a regenerative building design for mixed-use, residential, and commercial buildings that result in (1) a holistic building complex providing all occupants with access to outdoors, fresh food, medical needs, and social interaction, (2) CO2 emissions reduction figures in Israel’s construction sector. Using a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), it is established that the proposed design emits 30% less carbon dioxide than Israel’s current building practices.
