Plan


Proposal Objectives

• Research Design for Deconstruction (D4D) practices in Europe and Canada.

• Reduce Construction and Demolition (C+D) waste by determining ways to utilize new and existing materials in the most economical, ecological and social manner possible.

• Develop a website that establishes standard practices which can be used in the U.S.

Plan


Understand Deconstruction

• WRAP website– Waste prevention, collection and sorting,

recycling and reprocessing and marketing

Action


Construction/Deconstruction Industry

• Bill Addis @ Buro Happold Interview

– Lack of interest– Lack of education– Economics– Lack of support from codes – Manufacture wants the

business

Action


Reclaimed Construction Materials Industry

• Steve Toliman @ MASCO– Focus on the quality of materials– Focus on the needs of the

customer

• Construction Materials Recycling Plant– Reprocess glass, concrete, asphalt and

hardcore– Design considerations for best reprocessing

materials

Action


EcoDeco Conference

• “We need to learn how to do more with less because less is the new more.”

• NATURAL BUILDING MATERIALS @ Hill Holt Community Hall– Rammed earth, sheep’s wool, straw bale, hempcrete

reciprocal roof

Action


Non-Natural Building MaterialsAction

Earthships – Mike Renoylds @ Biotecture


Building Information Modeling (BIM)

• Construct IT Conference– Foresee problems and track material usage– Generate list of building materials – Deconstruction plan

Action


BioRegional

• One Day One Planet ConferenceAction


Dutch CultureAction

• Government pushes for waste diversion– 95% building material reuse

• IDF Program (new and existing buildings)– Industrial, Flexible, Demountable projects– Published in “Learning by Demonstration”


IDF ProjectsAction


Waste Calculator

• England – BRE – Smartwaste Calculator (new projects)

• Calculated material waste generated and CO2 emissions

• Germany – Frank Schlutman and Nichole Sunke– Material Flow Management (existing projects)

• Audit material’s quality, toxicity, building deconstruction techniques

• Produce different schedules based on labor availability, material reuse value and transportation costs.

Action


North American Culture

• Convenient and cheap– “Human Footprint” – National Geographic

• Vancouver– Promotes healthy living• Food and Energy consumption and waste reduction

– CaGBC MR 8 Credit - Design for durability• Prevent premature failure of building materials

Action


Website Features

• What is D4D?• Common Principles• Case Studies

– 100+ Residential, Commercial, Educational, Health, Industrial, and Offices

– Rating system (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) • Discussion Forum• FAQ’s• Additional Resources

– Books, Websites, Software, Reports• Contact Information
