Informing Building Concept Design with Circular Economy Principles: State-of-the-Art

The proposed contribution will illustrate the state-of-the-art of approaches, frameworks, methods and tools supporting circular building design, focusing on the early stage of the process. The authors, targeting a variety of audiences including but not limited to researchers and practitioners, will present the results of a systematic review on the subject, currently being finalised. The goal is to highlight latest advancements for circularity informed decision-making as well as barriers and research gaps in order to facilitate effective design processes, and ultimately mainstream CE strategies and solutions at the building scale.
