Circular economy principles have also been increasingly applied to the architecture and construction sector. However, technical and even cultural barriers still persist during the building design process.

This article builds upon the piece “A Quick Guide to the Circular Economy for Architects, Engineers, and Builders,” aiming to explore some of these tools in greater depth.
