Circular building offers a solution to address sustainability challenges in the construction industry by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving energy efficiency, fostering creativity and innovation, reducing costs, and promoting job growth.
FREMONT, CA: The utilisation of the circular building model presents itself as one potential method to progress towards a more sustainable framework. The circular model addresses the construction of buildings that are designed and built to have a reduced environmental impact. The foundation of this type of construction is the circular economy, aiming to reduce the generation of waste and boost the use of renewable resources. In this aspect, the design and construction of circular buildings consider the whole life cycle of the building, from picking out the materials to its disassembling and recycling. The circular building approach is considered the construction method of the future due to a multitude of factors.
Reduced Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Waste
Circular building minimises greenhouse gas emissions and waste products through the promotion of recycled materials and the reusing of materials that are already present. By utilising readily available building materials, the requirement to bring in new resources is reduced, therefore reducing the impact on the environment concerning the production and transportation of new materials.
Improved Energy Efficiency
By nature, circular buildings were developed to boost energy efficiency and bring down demands.
