Full Description

This timely Research Companion explores the intersection of environmental concerns, design innovation, and construction practices, detailing the principles and strategies that drive circularity in the built environment. Advancing life-cycle thinking in the built environment, leading international experts provide a critical examination of complex research issues linking construction and green building.

Chapters present in-depth research and case studies on current challenges and opportunities in sustainable construction. Contributing authors emphasise how circular green construction adopts regenerative approaches that aim to preserve the value of materials, reduce embodied carbon and extend the functional lifespan of the building. The book provides forward-looking discussions to shape policy and influence the future of green building through circular approaches, deconstruction strategies and adaptable designs.

This Research Companion is an important resource for students and academics in built environment disciplines including construction management, building technology, civil engineering, architecture and urban planning. It also provides actionable insights for practitioners and policy-makers involved in sustainable building practices.
