Abstract

Circular built environment have a crucial role in global economy and become concept for sustainable innovation. The built sector has been using the principle of linear economy for many years, where consumption of natural resources wasn't considered. This principle increased carbon emissions, pressure on the land, ecosystem pollution and uncontrolled usage of water resources. Built Environment and construction industry are the mayor consumer of resources. Therefore, it is very important to evolve the construction processes, systems and materials in order to increase efficiency and reduce the waste from the construction sector towards a better circular economy. Engineering products in circular economy are designed to be durable, repaired, refurbished, reused and disassembled, according to the principles of circular economy. The methodology of this scientific paper includes case studies in architectural design and construction sector that analyze the principles of circular economy application in architecture. The objective of this scientific paper is to explore and define the principles of circular economy in the built environment, regenerating and optimizing resources sharing asset utilization, optimizing system performance, keeping products and materials in loop and displacing resource with virtual use.
