Disassembly potential
Disassembly potential refers to the design characteristics and considerations that facilitate the efficient and effective disassembly of a building. It assesses how well a building is designed to allow for the systematic and safe separation of its components, minimizing damage and maximizing the potential for reuse. Factors that contribute to high disassembly potential include modular construction, use of standard connections and fasteners, clear labeling or marking of components, and detailed disassembly guidelines or instructions. By incorporating disassembly potential into the design and construction of buildings, it becomes easier to recover and reuse materials, thereby promoting circularity and reducing environmental impacts.
