CIRCULAR SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

INTRODUCTION

This project explores one of the key issues related to precast concrete structures in 50s – 70s. Also, identify several key elements to enable circular system functioning .Understand the GHG emissions from house building (the production of materials used in construction) and the direct energy requirements of housing. Optimization of material life cycle cost and value. Such framework helps to design and construct sustainable building into the circular economy.

KEY ELEMENTS TO ENABLE CIRCULAR SYSTEM FUNCTIONING

RESEARCH OF CONCRETE PANELS

RECYCLE OF CONCRETE PANELS

REUSE OF CONCRETE PANELS

RECYCLE OF WINDOW FRAMES.

REUSE OF WINDOW FREAMES
