Re-use and recycling in the construction sector is essential to keep resource use in check. Data availability about the material contents of buildings is significant challenge for planning future re-use potentials. Compiling material intensity (MI) data is time and resource intensive. Often studies end up with only a handful of datapoints. In...

Wavelets are a recent development in signal processing. These kind of functions<br/>are both well-localized in time and in frequency, and so using these to transform the signal gives insight where certain frequencies are needed. The classical way of constructing wavelets, as described by Daubechies and Meyer [3,9] is only well-suited for the...
