“…Furthermore, there were few studies that tried to find the effects of demolition or deconstruction. The environmental impacts from demolition include accumulation of debris, air pollution, soil pollution, water pollution and energy use and fuel consumption [5,[21][22][23][24][25]. Meanwhile, the economic impacts of demolition include energy and material costs, equipment and labor rates, reduction of hazardous materials, value of material that can be saved and tax exemption [5,21,22].…”

“…The error rate of multi-class and multi-label classification predictions in the choice of the demolition method is 5% -10% and the accuracy of the prediction model is 90% -95%. The simulation results on the impact show that air pollution produced (i1) is moderate (4), energy use and fuel consumption (i2) are efficient (4), energy and material costs (i3) are not large (4), equipment and labor tariffs (i4) are not large (4), workplace security (i5) is very safe (5) and noise (i6) is not disturbed (5). The error rate of multi-class and multi-label classification predictions in the choice of the demolition impact is 0%-5% and the accuracy of the prediction model is 95% -100%.…”

“…Because, if the results of this stage are reused or recycle, they can reduce pollution, save energy and reduce environmental pollution and preserve natural resources [1]. Demolition needs to be conducted for the structures that experience conditions such as, affected by disasters, changes in the function of buildings, reconstruction of cities [2], rapid economic development [3], serviced age issues permitted [4] and property damage [5]. Demolition is often misunderstood when it is considered as breaking down structures and lifting debris to the landfill.…”

Demolition needs special attention because the planning process is complex and has a high risk. In decision making, practitioners face various conditions that influence the choice of demolition methods. This study aims to develop an optimal model for building demolition methods based on the building characteristics. Identification of criteria was conducted in in-depth literature review and interviews with practitioners who have carried out demolition in Indonesia. The five criteria used in this study were structural characteristics, field conditions, costs, previous experience and time. Furthermore, Multiclass and Multi-label Classification were used to make the optimum demolition method decisions. For model validation, 27 story buildings in Indonesia were used as case studies. The simulation results show that the proposed model can make decisions on the selection of demolition methods with an accuracy of 89.3%. In addition to being able to provide an optimum decision on demolition methods, this model can also provide an estimate of the possible impacts of the selected demolition method.

Demolition pathways in academic literature are divided into two main categories: conventional demolition and selective demolition. While conventional demolition is deemed a wasteful approach, selective demolition is considered a sustainable solution moving away from the destruction approach of conventional demolition to one that emphasises materials recovery. Currently, there is much contradiction in the academic literature as to the categorisation of demolition pathways. This is compounded by a mis-match between the reality of demolition pathways in practice and observations made in literature. This paper, therefore, sets out to explore the demolition pathways from the perspectives of demolition engineers operating in the UK. Data was gathered from twelve in-depth semi-structured interviews. The findings show that demolition pathways, from the industry’s point of view, are categorised under three main headings: conventional demolition, sustainable demolition, and circular demolition. While conventional demolition is perceived as a wasteful approach, the findings show it is the most appropriate demolition pathway to implement in times of crisis. Sustainable demolition represents the current best practice in the industry, which is signified by a drive for recycling. And circular demolition is a step beyond sustainable demolition whereby building materials are retrieved to maximise reuse opportunities. The demolition engineers interviewed indicated that the demolition industry could contribute to circular demolition through early engagement with designers, establishing circular objectives in the tender process, disposing of waste following the order of the waste hierarchy, and providing a circularity feedback report at the end of each project.
