RECOMMENDATIONS
Roof:
In built-up roofing systems intall a layer of sheating between the insulation
and the roofing surface so that reroofing is possible without destroying
the insulation.
Steel roof decking is made from recycled materials and can be recycled
after dismantling.
The use of sustainable wood is recommended, don't use plywood made of
tropical wood glued with formaldehyde based glue.
Floors and Roof elements made with an insulation layer glued to the panels
have the disadvantage that the various coomponents can barely be separated
after demolition.
Transportation is another key issue both for the use of nonrenewable
resources and for air pollution.Transportation and air pollution are factors
present in all phases and they are both to be considered in determining
selection.
Optimize building dimensions to correspond to standard panels sizes,
this avoids waste of materials and job site operations.
Construction and demolition are two important phases that have to be
considered carefully to be able to control/reduce waste production and the
possibility of reusing or recycling it.
We should be able, true a careful project plan to avoid disposal in landfill,
incineration is consider the last, but better than landfill, chance. |
