Title Sustainable building design (SBD) with reclaimed wood library constructed in collaboration with 3D scanning technology in the UK
Year 2022

Abstract The increasing demand for social well-being and infrastructure development, along with the exploitation of physical resources and the depletion of natural ecological resources, have led to a series of environmental problems, such as global warming and climate change. As a result, the UN 2030 Sustainable Development Goals have called for the reduction in the impact of urban development on the environment and the creation of adaptive, inclusive and sustainable habitats. The circular economy (CE) is a new economic paradigm that con-tributes to sustainable socioeconomic development. It aims to lessen the extraction and acquisition of material resources through recycling and rationalise the allocation and reuse of social resources. For instance, recycling wood, a fundamental component of municipal waste, alleviates some pressure to extract raw materials and solves the dilemma of turning materials into waste. In this context, this study investigates five mills and logging sites around London as a source of material support. The findings highlight that wood recycling methods remain inadequate, with an excessive amount of wood being landfilled, downgraded and disposed without the possibility of reuse. The experiment completed the material collection of Waste, Under-use and Off-cut wood based on photogrammetry and laser scanning technology. According to the practical features found within the geometrical data, a material library was generated to wood select to the porosity requirements of the building. Results from the investigation illustrate how recycled wood components can be reintegrated into new construction as part of sustainable building design (SBD).
