Circular design strategies applied in fit-out value chain
| Design strategy | Design practice | Representative interventions | Affected KPIs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building design for retaining and reusing existing components | Adaptive design with existing reusable products: incorporating existing fit-outs into bespoke designs that emphasise adaptive reuse and the integration of salvaged materials | Case 16, Act 16.1 | S3: reuse/retain rate in fit-out cycles |
| Specifying components and systems that are flexible for use by other occupiers in situ or are durable enough to be transported to other locations | Case 16, Act 16.2 | S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building | |
| Building design for fit-out repairability/ maintainability | Separation and accessibility: Separating building layers to enable easy access for repair and maintenance, minimising demolition and reducing waste generation | Case 4, Act 4.1 | S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building |
| Building design for dismantlability and disassembly | Marshalling spaces | Case 3, Act 3.4 | S3: reuse/retain rate in fit-out cycles; C1: Recovery rate |
| Reversible connections and joints: Implementing reversible connection system for assembly and disassembly | Case 19, Act 19.1 | S2: Reuse rate in the building; C2: Product parts recyclability; C3: Product parts reusability | |
| Building design for function adaptability and compatibility | Function flexibility | Case 6, Act 6.1 | N5: Units per function |
| Adaptability with short term changes | Case 15, Act 15.1 | N5: Units per function; S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building | |
| Building design as material banks | Material passports in design | Case 22, Act 22.1 | S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building; C1: Recovery rate |
| Reversible building design codes | |||
| Product design for reusability | Modularity | Case 2, Act 2.8 | S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building |
| Dismantlability and disassembly | Case 5, Act 5.1 | C2: Product parts recyclability; C3: Product parts reusability; S3: reuse/retain rate in fit-out cycles | |
| Product design for repairability | Non-Adhesive installation | Case 2, Act 2.9 | S2: Reuse rate in the building |
| Product design for refurbish/ remanufacture | Modularity with interchangeable components | Case 23, Act 23.1 | S3: reuse/retain rate in fit-out cycles; C3: Product parts reusability |
| Product design for maximising recovered/ biobased material usage | Using agricultural waste by-product and biobased material and cellular material | Case 18, Act 18.1 | N2: Virgin/non-bio-based resources per material; C2: Product parts recyclability |
| Case 21, Act 21.1 | N2: Virgin rate | ||
| Customised product design for repurposing | Bespoke manufacturing from other projects' outflows | Case 7, Act 7.1 Case 7, Act 7.2 | C1: Recovery rate; C3: Product parts reusability S2: Reuse/retain rate in the building |
