Overview of CBA determinants and their definitions
| CBA determinant | Definition |
|---|---|
| Configuration flexibility | Changing the space layout without additional material flows |
| Product dismantlability | Demounting building components without damage or waste and enabling their reuse |
| Asset multi-usability | Using building assets for multiple purposes (e.g. multi-purpose spaces, shared facilities) |
| Design regularity | Designing buildings and their spatial configurations following regular patterns (e.g. modularity, standardised components) |
| Functional convertibility | Changing the primary function of the building (or a part of it) |
| Material reversibility | (Re)Using building materials as long and as effectively as possible in a reversible value chain |
| Building maintainability | Prolonging the usefulness of buildings and sustaining their performance |
| Resource recovery | Regenerating and reducing the resources consumed in the building (e.g. renewable energy techniques, natural ventilation, and lighting) |
| Volume scalability | Expanding or shrinking buildings or building units |
| Asset refit-ability | Refitting building assets to adjust them to improved requirements |
