Abstract

This thesis studies the potential of a Product-Service System applied to facades. It analyses the stakeholders involved in the decision-making process for new building constructions, and then evaluates the economic, functional, energetic and strategic advantages of a "leasable facade" for each of these parties. This work also explores a variety of possible design and technical schematic models for a disassemblable facade, and their potential as resource-efficient, market-focused facade solutions.
