Original research FROM WASTE TO WEALTH: CIRCULAR ECONOMY APPROACHES IN FACADE ENGINEERINGPages 29-38
Abstract
With resources dwindling and the environment deteriorating, the construction sector around the world is at a crossroads. Façade engineering becomes an important field for sustainable practices in this environment. In order to improve the sustainability and economic feasibility of building envelopes, this review paper delves into how Circular Economy (CE) principles might be applied to façade engineering. The focus is on material recycling, reuse, and lifespan analysis. The study finds and examines novel techniques and materials that demonstrate Circular Economy (CE) principles by critically reviewing literature and case studies on circular economy practices in building, with a special focus on façade materials. The paper demonstrates how the circular economy has the ability to make façade engineering more sustainable by examining the motivations, benefits, and obstacles linked with these activities. To achieve this transition, it is crucial to work together across disciplines, have the support of policymakers, and be open to technological innovation. The purpose of this essay is to promote a paradigm change towards more sustainable and resource-efficient design and construction processes by introducing Circular Economy (CE) principles to façade engineering. By bringing façade engineering in line with sustainable development concepts, this research hopes to alleviate construction waste, conserve resources, and lessen environmental impacts.
Keywords: Circular Economy, Façade Engineering, Sustainable Construction, Material Recycling, Lifecycle Analysis.
