CodeDescriptionImpact*Unit
Narrowing the loop
 Reducing used material or virgin resources in a product
 N1Material per product↓ Negativekg/product
 N2Virgin/non-bio-based resources per material (used material in a product)↓ Negative% of total material mass
 Reducing fit-out products in an office unit
 N3Product per function↓ NegativeNumber of products/function
 N4Product per office unit↓ NegativeNumber of products/office unit
 Reducing office units or office building
 N5Office units per function↓ NegativeNumber of units/function
 N6Office units per user↓ NegativeNumber of units/person
Slowing the loop
 Increasing estimated life span of products
 S1Durability: The life span of fit-out products through fit-out product's quality↑ PositiveYears
 S2Reuse/retain rate in the building: Number of cycles that a product is retained/reused in the same building↑ Positivecycles/product
 S3reuse/retain rate in fit-out cycles: Retained/reused product in a refit- defit cycle per total fit-out products↑ Positive% of reused items/total fit-out items
 S4Refit-defit cycles in buildings life span↓ Negativecycles/building life
Closing the loop
 Increasing the recovery potential in an office building/unit
 C1Recovery rate: reused or recycled material per removed material) in a strip out/demolition project↑ Positive% (recovered mass/total removed mass)
 Increasing the potential of product's circulation at EoU or EoL
 C2Product parts recyclability: Recyclable elements/parts of a product per all parts↑ Positive% (by count or mass)
 C3Product parts reusability: Reusable elements/parts* of a product per all parts↑ Positive% (by count or mass)

Note(s): *: ↑ Positive (higher better) ↓ Negative (lower better)

Ni: KPIs affecting the pre-use stage by Narrowing the loop Si: KPIs affecting the use stage by Slowing the loop

Ci: KPIs affecting the post-use stage by Closing the loop * Reusable parts of a product for remanufacturing, and repurposing
