A Circular Life Cycle Cost Model: Quantifying the financial implications of projected level of circularity in real estate development projects

The construction sector significantly contributes to global waste generation and greenhouse gas emissions, leading to environmental issues such as climate change, global warming, and resource depletion. The conventional linear economy in the construction sector follows a take-make-waste approach, resulting in adverse environmental impacts. The...
