Abstract
The building and construction (B&C) industry remains one of the highest greenhouse gas emitting and resource intensive sectors globally. Despite the recent trend to use renewable carbon sequestering building materials, such as timber, a paradigm shift is needed to transition the B&C industry towards an ‘absolute zero’ circular economy. Design for adaptability (DfA) allows buildings and their components to remain in use for longer by responding to changing environmental conditions and occupant needs. This paper provides a review of design principles to enable adaptability for timber buildings through design for disassembly (DfD) and reuse, as well as a systematic review of reversible timber connection systems that enable DfA and DfD.Description
Funding Information: This research was funded by the Australian Research Council, Linkage Project LP200301402 “Offsite manufacture reimagined for high-performance adaptable housing”, the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Information Technology (EAIT) and School of Civil Engineering of the University of Queensland, and by Formas, the Swedish Research Council for sustainable development, with project “Roadmap towards adaptability of timber buildings” (Project number 2021-02711). COST Action CA20139 – “Holistic design of taller timber buildings” inspired the collaborative development of this paper. Co-authorship determined according to the Vancouver convention. Prof Keith Crews’ initial input in the conception of the paper is gratefully acknowledged. Publisher Copyright: © 2023 The Authors
