Assessment of Sustainability and Efficiency Metrics in Modern Methods of Construction: A Case Study Using a Life Cycle Assessment Approach

“…The Buildings As Material Banks (BAMB) Project promotes CB by creating circular solutions where valuable materials are recycled and buildings are reversible, that is, can be easily deconstructed, or where their components can be easily removed and added without damaging the building by following product or material loop strategies, providing flexibility and adaptability [60]. This is expected to reduce CDW, deliver new material inputs, and promote keeping building resources in use to retain their maximum value [61].…”
