Resource extraction, manufacturing, and construction and demo waste represent a significant impact on global emissions. Unfortunately, when buildings are demolished and materials disposed of, the carbon, energy, and labor value locked in those materials is lost, concurrently increasing necessity for new resource extraction. Existing buildings represent deep material banks, with resources that can be repurposed and/or used in future construction. While we know the worldwide opportunity for impact is large, transition to a circular construction industry requires skills and processes for both managing material flows from existing to new buildings and for designing new buildings for disassembly and reuse.
In this virtual session as a part of our Symposium Summer Series, an architect, engineer, and contractor will review the challenges and opportunities of circularity and how teams can prepare for and optimize reuse. The session will also highlight circularity-focused projects so attendees can apply strategies to their next project.
Note on Registration and Pricing:
This first session of our Symposium Summer Series is free for all attendees—no membership required. We’re excited to kick off the series with an open invitation to join the conversation on circularity and material reuse.
Starting with our next session, registration will follow our standard pricing:
