“…BIM can reduce the cost of C &D waste management by 57% compared to the conventional method of C&D waste management [13]. It also increases the accurate waste quantification which assists practitioners in decision making.…”

Construction waste needs to be managed to safeguard the environment. During the design stage in construction, BIM is usually used to demonstrate a virtual presentation of the building. The model can predict material that could be wasted. There is little research on “BIM for waste management”. This study adopts a systematic literature review using the PRISMA model to evaluate extant studies on BIM for waste management. A systematic literature methodology is used to summarise the results of articles that have been previously published. Furthermore, this article identifies BIM tools that can be used for addressing the major problems caused by waste. Findings reveal the barriers to the implementation of BIM for waste management, which are; lack of BIM awareness, unavailability of resources, the lack of guarantee in the security of stored information, and uncertainties in legal policies. Three main BIM-based tools, which can be used for planning for effective waste management have been identified and discussed. The significance of this research is to raise awareness for BIM tools as an aid to effective waste management in construction. The study also points out future research areas that can be investigated to aid the implementation of BIM-based tools for waste management.

“…The modelling of timber elements must be part of a more global method that aims to prefigure the reuse of elements before their dismantling. This is the strength of BIM, because it gives possibilities to simulate reuse in a future project, giving more robustness to continuity of uses (Nikmehr et al, 2021).…”

In the framework of a doctoral thesis, we investigate with a digital approach, methods, practices and tools that could support the reuse process of materials, specifically timber resources. We have structured this paper around the study of a digital workflow and tool. More than supplying the thesis working tools, their role is to achieve on-site assessment of wooden structural elements, to reintegrate them into new constructions projects as new timber products from the market. The context of our research is French AEC (Architecture, Engineering and Construction) sector, where we lead interviews and take part in construction projects (case studies). However, we lean as well on the literature review of materials reuse and timber assessment.

“…The study is performed as a scoping review, following the PRISMA statement extension for Scoping Reviews [6,7]. Scoping reviews are primarily known within health sciences, and a search indicates that only a few studies related to construction have been published, e.g., [8][9][10][11]. Considering the vast amount of methods available to conduct a knowledge synthesis, several methods were considered for investigating the objectives of this review, e.g., Systematic Review, Rapid Review and Scoping Review.…”

Life Cycle Assessments of Circular Economy in the Built Environment—A Scoping Review

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The Circular Economy (CE) is gaining traction throughout all industries and nations globally. However, despite several attempts, no one-off solutions for assessing the benefits and pitfalls of CE have been established, and neither have any measures with which to determine decisions. In line with this general observation, the Built Environment (BE) is no different. A tendency is observed in which, for the assessment of the environmental impacts of CE, a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been deemed suitable. This paper presents a scoping review, using the PRISMA statement extension for scoping reviews, documenting how LCA has been applied for assessment of CE in the BE. The review covers a broad scope of literature, scoping the landscape, and delimits it into publications where CE strategy has been defined explicitly and described as a CE investigation. Among the LCAs applied, the dominant system boundary choice is the attributional approach. The authors open the discussion on whether this is actually suitable for answering the questions posed in the CE paradigm. From the review, and the discussion, the conclusion suggests that there is no dominant procedure in applying LCA of CE in the BE, even despite commonly developed LCA standards for the BE. Few studies also present the consideration to reconsider the applied LCA, as CE puts new questions (and thereby a potentially greater system boundary, as CE may imply greater societal consequences) that do not necessarily fit into the linear LCA framework currently applied in the BE.
