Circular Building Adaptability

The CBA-Strategies

Below, you can learn more about the passive, active, and operational CBA-Strategies by clicking on a strategy and browsing through the others.

Passive strategies: solutions that can promote  CBA  through the building design.

1. Design standardization
2. Seperation of building layers
3. Open the floor plan
4. Provision of multi-Purpose spaces
5. Modularization of spatial configuration
6. Utilization of standardized building products
7. Provision of a core for building services
8. Design for Suprlus Capacity
9. Compartmentalization of Design
10. Design for a mixed-use
11. Utilization of secondary (reused/recycled) materials/products
12. Utilization of biobased materials
13. Utilization of circular (reusable/recyclable) materials/products
14. Alignment of the interconnection between the floor plans
15. Alignment of the building design with the real estate strategy

Active strategies: solutions that foster CBA  through the building configuration and user intervention.

16. Utilization of adjustable building components/products to users
17. Utilization of dismountable building components
18. Provision of shareable spaces
19. Utilization of renewable energy technologies
20. Enabling the use of natural lighting/ventilation
21. Utilization of flexible and integrated building installations
22. Utilization of water recovery system

Operational strategies: process-oriented solutions that promote CBA.

23. Provision of shareable facilities
24. Application of (or update of) material passports
25. Procurement of the service of building products – (product-als-dienst.)
26. Selective dismantling
27. Send back discarded material for reuse/recycling
28. Repurpose old building materials/products
29. Products exchange
30. Implementation of proactive/predictive maintenance
31. Repair of old building components
32. Preservation of monumental/old parts
33. Utilization of rented-second-hand products from CE marketplaces
