Where if? Using spatial, building-stock-driven simulations to explore construction circularity strategies in Gothenburg, Sweden
Recycling construction materials can significantly reduce the environmental impact of the construction and demolition sector. However, implementing circularity strategies requires a spatially refined understanding of material stock dynamics. This study introduces a stock-driven and rule-based simulation that forecasts – over space and time – material stocks, flows, and associated embodied carbon resulting from construction, renovation, and demoli…
Enhanced material stock accounting by predicting building structures with morphological indicators
Material stocks (MS) represent the amount and composition of construction resources embodied in the built environment, and are critical to understanding long-term resource use, waste generation, and circular economy strategies. The reliability of building MS modelling depends largely on the appropriateness of archetype classification, with building structure being a key descriptor as it reflects the core materials used. Yet, structural informatio…
Bud-Mi
Mapping construction material stocks is essential for understanding socioeconomic metabolism and informing the circular economy. However, spatial material stock studies often produce coarse results owing to challenges in material intensity development. This paper introduces BUD-MI (Bottom-Up Data: Material Intensity), a material intensity data collection template designed with three core objectives: streamlining the data collection process during…
Modeling interior component stocks of UK housing using exterior features and machine learning techniques
Building stock modeling is a vital tool for assessing material inventories in buildings, playing a critical role in promoting a circular economy, facilitating waste management, and supporting socio‐economic analyses. However, a major challenge in building stock modeling lies in achieving accurate component‐level assessments, as current approaches primarily rely on archetype‐based statistical data, which often lack precision. Addressing this chall…
How does space matter? On the importance of embedding spatialities in industrial ecology frameworks for circularity in the built environment
This paper explores the critical role of spatiality and scale in industrial ecology (IE) research to promote circularity within the built environment. Traditional IE frameworks are predominantly a‐spatial and a‐political, overlooking the complex socio‐ecological–technological dynamics of urban–regional environments. This gap limits the development of holistic assessments and effective strategies for circularity, often externalizing political, eco…
Material stocks and embodied carbon in UK buildings
Decarbonizing construction through a circular economy requires an in‐depth understanding of the materials stocked within, and flows into, between, and beyond, the global built environment. Archetype‐based bottom‐up material stock analysis (MSA) is increasingly used to estimate the quantity, location, and embodied carbon of different construction materials within existing buildings. European MSA studies typically employ archetypes based on buildin…
Developing Regenerate
The transition toward a circular economy (CE) is key in decarbonizing the built environment. Despite this, knowledge of—and engagement with—CE philosophies remains limited within the construction industry. Discussion with practitioners reveals this to be contributed to by a lack of clarity regarding CE principles, with numerous organizations recommending implementation of differing and sometimes conflicting principles. In addition, a systematic a…
A scalable data collection, characterization, and accounting framework for urban material stocks
Building stocks represent an extensive reservoir of secondary resources. However, common bottom‐up characterization of these, often based on archetypal classification of buildings and their corresponding material intensity, are still not suitable to adequately inform circular economic strategies. Indeed, these approaches typically result in a loss of building‐specific details, and a building stock characterization in terms of material mass, for e…
Extending urban stocks and flows analysis to urban greenhouse gas emission accounting
Cities generate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions both in the construction phase of their built environment stocks and durable goods and in their operation phase with energy and material flows. Existing urban GHG accounting methods, however, focus largely on emissions related to energy and material flows and have rarely considered the role of urban stocks. In this article, we have extended urban stocks and flows analysis to urban GHG accounting, usi…

Taking Stock of Built Environment Stock Studies
Built environment stocks (buildings and infrastructures) play multiple roles in our socio-economic metabolism: they serve as the backbone of modern societies and human well-being, drive the material cycles throughout the economy, entail temporal and spatial lock-ins on energy use and emissions, and represent an extensive reservoir of secondary materials. This review aims at providing a comprehensive and critical review of the state of the art, pr…
