  • Technical barriers to circular economy implementation in the built environment

    Open AccessMarianna Marchesi, Christina Giarma et al.ARTICLESustainable Cities and Society2026

    Technical barriers in the built environment are systemic and affect multiple levels • A multi-level problem-based approach is essential for effective CE implementation • Key barriers to knowledge and skills, processes and infrastructures are often neglected • Shorter service-life building layers, such as the space plan, are less investigated • CE focus remains on reuse and recycling rather than broader circular strategies The circular economy (CE…

  • Incremental Construction as a Circular Economy Instrument in the Production of Cooperative Housing

    Open AccessFernanda Paes de Barros Gomide, Luís Bragança et al.ARTICLEUrban Science2024References: 20

    The Circular Economy (CE) proposal aims to minimise waste and maximise the use of resources, making it crucial for providing social housing (SH). Incorporating CE principles into SH policies makes it possible to take significant steps towards a more sustainable and equitable future. The cooperative housing movement offers a solution for growing and empowering local communities to actively develop, own, and manage housing. In some cooperative hous…

  • Building passport for the sustainable conservation of built heritage

    Open AccessJoana Gonçalves, Ricardo Mateus et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cultural Heritage…2022

    Purpose This research presents the development of a Building Passport for Sustainable Conservation (BPSC) as a questionnaire with a set of 23 core indicators, for a baseline assessment of heritage buildings. The aim of this tool is to identify priorities for future interventions, by recognising the contributions of heritage buildings to sustainability that should be preserved and the fragilities that need to be improved. Design/methodology/approa…

  • Methodology for environmental assessment in Antarctic buildings

    Open AccessDielly Christine Guedes Montarroyos, Cristina Engel De Alvarez et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2018Cited by: 1References: 9

    An environmental research was made to develop an assessment method for buildings. • The method combined assessment tool, structured survey and Environment Protocol. • The findings provide insights to promote sustainable buildings in protected areas. • The method used in Antarctica is flexible to adapt in other global areas. • As a result, indicators and their weights can be used as project guidelines

  • Healthcare Building Sustainability Assessment tool - Sustainable Effective Design criteria in the Portuguese context

    Open AccessMaria de Fátima Castro, Ricardo Mateus et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Impact Assessment…2017Cited by: 1References: 21

    Tools and methods to improve current practices and quality in the healthcare building sector are necessary to support decision-making at different building life cycle phases. Furthermore, Healthcare Building Sustainability Assessment (HBSA) Methods are based on criteria organised into different levels, such as categories and indicators. These criteria highlight aspects of significant importance when designing and operating a sustainable healthcar…

  • A critical analysis of building sustainability assessment methods for healthcare buildings

    Open AccessMaria de Fátima Castro, Ricardo Mateus et al.ARTICLEEnvironment Development and…2015

    The healthcare building project contains different aspects from the most common projects. Designing a healthcare environment is based on a number of criteria related to the satisfaction and well-being of the professional working teams, patients and administrators. Mostly due to various design requirements, these buildings are rarely designed and operated in a sustainable way. Therefore, the sustainable development is a concept whose importance ha…
