This presentation was created for the ACCE mid year meeting in Albuquerque, NM 2010. The presentation covers my experiences from the 2008 Victor L. Regnier Traveling Fellowship and my research on designing buildings for deconstruction (D4D).

1. Designing for Deconstruction Dustin Stephany 2008 Victor L. Regnier Traveling Fellow

2. Thank you!

3. Construction and Demolition Waste Generation in 2007 Plan 51.8 Million Tons 47.9 Million Tons 42.0 Million Tons Sources: Chini, Abdol, Deconstruction and Materials Reuse, An International Overview Franklin Associates, Characterization of building related Construction Demolition Debris in the US US Census - 2000

4. Proposal Objectives Plan Research Design for Deconstruction (D4D) practices in Europe and Canada. Reduce Construction and Demolition (C+D) waste by determining ways to utilize new and existing materials in the most economical, ecological and social manner possible. Develop a website that establishes standard practices which can be used in the U.S.

5. Understand Deconstruction WRAP website Waste prevention, collection and sorting, recycling and reprocessing and marketing Action

6. Construction/Deconstruction Industry Action Bill Addis @ BuroHappold Interview Lack of interest Lack of education Economics Lack of support from codes Manufacture wants the business

7. Reclaimed Construction Materials Industry Action Steve Toliman @ MASCO Focus on the quality of materials Focus on the needs of the customer Construction Materials Recycling Plant Reprocess glass, concrete, asphalt and hardcore Design considerations for best reprocessing materials

8. EcoDeco Conference Action “We need to learn how to do more with less because less is the new more.” NATURAL BUILDING MATERIALS @ Hill Holt Community Hall Rammed earth, sheep’s wool, straw bale, hempcrete reciprocal roof

9. Non-Natural Building Materials Action Earthships – Mike Renoylds @ Biotecture

10. Building Information Modeling (BIM) Action Construct IT Conference Foresee problems and track material usage Generate list of building materials Deconstruction plan

11. BioRegional Action One Day One Planet Conference

13. 95% building material reuse

14. IDF Program (new and existing buildings)

15. Industrial, Flexible, Demountable projects

17. Waste Calculator Action England – BRE Smartwaste Calculator (new projects) Calculated material waste generated and CO2 emissions Germany – Frank Schlutman and Nichole Sunke Material Flow Management (existing projects) Audit material’s quality, toxicity, building deconstruction techniques Produce different schedules based on labor availability, material reuse value and transportation costs.

18. North American Culture Action Convenient and cheap “Human Footprint” – National Geographic Vancouver Promotes healthy living Food and Energy consumption and waste reduction CaGBC MR 8 Credit - Design for durability Prevent premature failure of building materials

20. Website Features Result What is D4D? Common Principles Case Studies 100+ Residential, Commercial, Educational, Health, Industrial, and Offices Rating system (bronze, silver, gold, platinum) Discussion Forum FAQ’s Additional Resources Books, Websites, Software, Reports Contact Information

21. Fellowship Expenses Result
