Abstrakt:

A major transformation from the current, linear practice to a closed-loop system, linked with a circular economy, is required to transform the negative effects of buildings on the environment. Pakistan has one of the fastest growing populations, and conventional building construction is increasing in urban areas due to urban sprawl. This research aims to demonstrate the possible shift to a circular construction industry in Pakistan by comparing the linear design components with the circular design components of exterior walls of a case study taking advantage of life cycle assessment. The results of life cycle assessment applied to the external walls of a house in Karachi show that finding the solution with the lowest impacts is not obvious and that use of apparently “green” solutions may turn out to have higher impacts. Study suggests that building components can be gradually replaced with more circular ones to create a circular built environment.
