This study proposes a concept and workflow for solar, context-adaptive reusable facades. Integrating solar control with parametric facade design, the uses radiation to inform modules variable openness or properties (e.g. frit cover), enabling envelopes adapt urban context changes while promoting circularity. The method was tested through simulations, assessing daylight, glare, energy circularity in changing scenarios. A Solar Circularity Indicator (SCI) introduced track façade alterations reuse. In 100m new obstruction scenario, 79% of were maintained, 29% altered reused, yielding an 85% SCI. Sunlight Autonomy metrics aligned well Re-design improved Spatial Daylight by up 4% minimal increase (<1%). Our solution provided 2% more useful daylight (100–3000lux) than glazed facades 11% less glare. provides framework circular, performance-based designs that preserve aesthetics adaptability.

This study explores the potential, challenges, and perspectives of data-driven frameworks to enhance environmental impact assessment promote circular economy practices across life cycle modular façade systems. Building on prior research innovation efforts in field, semi-structured interviews were conducted with stakeholders representing diverse backgrounds ensure a wide range perspectives, including health, safety, environment (HSE) managers, engineers, software developers. The methodology was organised into three main phases. It began preparation phase, followed by conduct interviews. During these interviews, previous findings presented, leading discussion centred perceived related technologies. Finally, thematic analysis identify common insights that emerged. emphasise importance standardised data models, interoperability between systems, role value chain networking collaboration advancing practices. While not exhaustive, provides valuable evolving landscape sustainable construction offers recommendations for future developments LCA-based Frameworks integration.
