The latest policy and research recommendations focus on advancing transition of housing to the circular economy framework tackle environmental affordability challenges. A key strategy for this is industrialised construction, which combines controlled manufacturing methods with strategies that facilitate future disassembly, allowing adaptations, maintenance, material reuse. Despite its importance, long-term solutions integrate both construction disassembly remain rare. This study obtained insights into from Solar Decathlon Europe competition through interviews observations fifteen participating teams in Wuppertal, Germany, 2022. competition’s build challenge provided a unique opportunity examine practical application approaches, where developed highly energy-efficient, affordability-conscious, scalable systems. On-site team members diverse disciplines took place midway assembly phase. These were further informed by observing Azalea’s Spain, shortly before reassembly Germany. Thematic content analyses conducted using predefined based holistic factors lifecycle processes. Our results reveal critical impact Cultural factors, particularly during (re)design process provide new data aid our understanding (dis)assembly process. contributes towards development framework.

Energy Use in Residential Buildings for Sustainable Development: The Fifth Solar Decathlon Europe Revelations

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Achieving sustainable development in residential buildings with energy use is the focus of this research. Under influence crisis and related problems, research on for less has great potential. The literature review according to Preferred Reporting Items Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses VOSviewer analysis shows increasing meaningful. Solar Decathlon were used as main objects Based onsite investigation online searching, technologies fifth Europe are examined. 34 kinds classified into two categories three directions. Passive should be applied priority, but generating renewable also important. Some low-frequency pay attention. Analytic Hierarchy Process method multi-criteria decision sustainability assessment. It that combination decides performance. Moreover, Ladybug ClimateStudio plugins simulate annual solar radiation best angle receiving that, respectively. However, needs balanced coordinated architectural aesthetics. This trying achieve improved development.
