Title Integrating bottom-up building stock model with logistics networks to support the site selection of circular construction hub
Year 2023
Published
Abstract The circular construction hub is a logistics point for the storage, processing, and distribution of secondary construction materials. However, its site selection is dampened by the lack of detailed spatial information on material flows. In this study, the quantities and the spatial distribution of material flows are projected using a bottom-up building stock model. The material flows are integrated with logistics networks to assess the environmental impact of transporting materials between the building stock and the circular construction hub. The model is demonstrated on the building stock of Leiden, a municipality in the Netherlands. The results show that the location of future construction and demolition activities has a major impact on transportation carbon emissions. As construction decreases and demolition increases, the relative share of transportation carbon emissions from recycling will increase. The comparison between the two candidate sites for the circular construction hub is made to select the site with lower total transportation carbon emissions. By considering the evolution of building stock, the model can help urban planners make a more comprehensive decision on the location of the circular construction hub.
