Title Bioclimatic and Regenerative Design Guidelines for a Circular University Campus in India
Year 2021
Published Sustainability, 13.0, 15
Abstract To transform the negative impacts of buildings on the environment into a positive footprint, a radical shift from the current, linear 'make-use-dispose' practice to a closed-loop 'make-use-return' system, associated with a circular economy, is necessary. This research aims to demonstrate the possible shift to a circular construction industry by developing the first practical framework with tangible benchmarks for a 'Circular University Campus' based on an exemplary case study project, which is a real project development in India. As a first step, a thorough literature review was undertaken to demonstrate the social, environmental and economic benefits of a circular construction industry. As next step, the guideline for a 'Circular University Campus' was developed, and its applicability tested on the case study. As final step, the evolved principles were used to establish 'Project Specific Circular Building Indicators' for a student residential block and enhance the proposed design through bioclimatic and regenerative design strategies. The building's performance was evaluated through computational simulations, whole-life carbon analysis and a circular building assessment tool. The results demonstrated the benefits and feasibility of bioclimatic, regenerative building and neighbourhood design and provided practical prototypical case study and guidelines which can be adapted by architects, planners and governmental institutions to other projects, thereby enabling the shift to a restorative, circular construction industry.
