Building green via design for deconstruction and adaptive reuse
ABSTRACT: According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), only 8% of the construction and demolition (C & D) waste is generated during the construction phase. However, 48% of C & D waste is generated during the building demolition at the end of its life cycle and 44% is generated during the renovation of the building structure. EPA has also estimated that the C & D comprise 25 to 30% of all waste produced in the US each year
