Haitham: "Excellent data is provided"

The case study of interest in this research is a 150 m singlefamily house built in 2018, shown in Fig. 9. It is situated in the Netherlands and is characterized as a zero-energy building (ZEB). This case study has been selected for a variety of reasons, primarily its design, construction method, and environmental impact.

Design for disassembly (DfD)

PhD Researcher Haitham Abu Ghaida of the Centre for Environmental Sciences (CMK) @Hasselt University has published his first research paper titled “Accounting for product recovery potential in building life cycle assessments: a disassembly network-based approach” in the International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment.

When accounting for end-of-life recovery benefits, a zero-energy building design incorporating some DfD principles demonstrated up to 45.94% lower embodied GHG emissions than the ZEB design with low disassembly potential when assuming that recovered products will be reused.
