Abstract
Abandoning rural areas requires promoting their repopulation. In Europe, wealth and life in these enclaves are valued. However, the current state of these houses does not meet actual needs and requires interventions to actualize current standards. Therefore, decisions in the design and execution of the works will generate a volume of construction and demolition waste (CDW), which must be managed sustainably out of respect towards its origin, the architecture, and the surrounding environment. This paper examines the prevention and management of CDW, providing control strategies and actions to monitor and plan them from the rehabilitation project itself. Some of the interventions carried out in recent years on this type of housing have been analyzed and the existing management protocols within the European Union have been reviewed, specifying their application in Mediterranean popular housing. As a result, we herein show a representative case that observes the existing reality regarding the destination of generated CDW and delves into their possibilities for use. We present these findings in order to reduce the energy cost resulting from manufacturing new materials and meeting the established sustainability and energy efficiency parameters.
Highlights
The year 2020 began by recognizing the end of an era
The environmental impact that the construction and demolition waste (CDW) generated deserves a study on the control of its production, the promotion of prevention, or any other recovery formula according to the current legislation
Construction Strategy 2021 and the proposed measures will contribute to achieving the objective of the waste framework directive of recycling 70% of construction and demolition waste by 2020
Summary
The year 2020 began by recognizing the end of an era. this era was marked by important scientific and technological advances, such as the expansion of communications, interesting archaeological, astronomical, or biological findings that tackled challenges in medicine, biotechnology, or nanotechnology. Any proposal will be accompanied by essential adaptation works (punctual or comprehensive) to achieve these objectives In this regard, the environmental impact that the construction and demolition waste (CDW) generated deserves a study on the control of its production, the promotion of prevention, or any other recovery formula according to the current legislation. The effects have manifested themselves through a progressive phenomenon of global warming, in addition to representing uncertainty about the residual availability of non-renewable resources, with all of the consequent potential environmental risks [12] If this disproportionate level of consumption continues, the planet is headed for an energy and pollution crisis of irreparable consequences. Because existing rural homes lack attractive technical and comfortable conditions, we decided to study building intervention and observe the construction and demolition waste (CDW) impact on planned rehabilitation works. We propose the generated use of CDW, betting on recycling and/or reuse to incorporate materials and components back into buildings
