Building Circularity Assessment in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction Industry: A New Framework

Circular Economy (CE) has proved its contribution to addressing environmental impacts in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. Building Circularity (BC) assessment methods have been developed to measure the circularity of building projects. However, there still exists amb...
