Abstract
Residential external wall assemblies are among the key contributors to embodied carbon emissions in the building industry. Their design,however,is still largely oriented towards linear consumption trajectories of extraction-use-waste. Within this context,this paper investigates how established material recovery potential assessment metrics could be used to inform design decisions aimed at improving circularity in buildings. A redesign of a typical timber frame assembly is presented and its material recovery performance is compared to standard systems. Results show a 35%-47% improvement in material recovery potential. © Content from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Licence.
