  • 8.2 Module C1 – Deconstruction, demolition stage

    8.2  Module C1 – Deconstruction, demolition stage. C-01 Demolition/deconstruction – screening and simplified LCA. C-02 Demolition/deconstruction – complete LCA.

  • C-01 Demolition/deconstruction – screening and simplified LCA

    Aspect C-01 Demolition/deconstruction – screening and simplified LCA Description The deconstruction and demolition stage involves quantification of the impact related to the end of life of the constructed system. For example, if it is a reinforced concrete building, deconstruction activity will consist mainly in separating the reinforcing steel from the concrete. During this operation, energy…
