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
www.design4deconstruction.org
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
www.design4deconstruction.org
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
www.design4deconstruction.org
BioRegional
• One Day One Planet ConferenceAction
www.design4deconstruction.org
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”

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.

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
