	Also, social value assessments are many and varied, covering a plethora of aspects of societal costs and benefits. Moreover, most metrics in conventional societal impact or value studies, do not have a relevance when rethinking value networks in construction, and the economy in general. Therefore, a mayor revision of those assessment methods was indispensable.		Also, social value assessments are many and varied, covering a plethora of aspects of societal costs and benefits.

== CIRCULAR BUILDING ASSESSMENT ==

=== DEFINITION ===

Circular Building Assessment is an assessment approach and method that aims to provide a holistic evaluation and interpretation of multiple sustainability aspects of buildings and their parts.

Taking a life cycle approach, aspects that are included are the environmental impact, financial costs, health consequences and social value of the object under study. Developed within the BAMB-project, Circular Building Assessment fosters better informed decision-making about ‘circular’ alternatives compared to linear, business as usual options.

=== GUIDELINES ===

Environmental impacts of construction products and buildings are typically evaluated using life cycle assessments (LCA), and financial impacts by means of life cycle costing (LCC). Conventionally, their implementation is not without flaws. Despite European standards and recommendations, modelling closed material loops is not harmonised across the continent for example.

Also, social value assessments are many and varied, covering a plethora of aspects of societal costs and benefits. Moreover, most metrics in conventional societal impact or value studies, do not have a relevance when rethinking value networks in construction, and the economy in general. Therefore, a mayor revision of those assessment methods was indispensable.

Circular Building Assessment is facilitated through data extraction from Building Information Modelling and Material Passports where available. Consequently, from a certain level of detail, an evaluation of the transformation capacity and reuse potential of the building and its key parts can affect the assessment outcomes for all aspects.

Moreover, the BAMB project aims to compare within the Circular Building Assessment method the overall impact of the replacement of new products with reclaimed ones, of service life extensions resulting from improved transformation capacity, and the future reuse of parts enabled by their increased reuse potential.

=== RELATED TERMS ===

Life cycle, life cycle phases: the series of consecutive and interlinked stages a building or part passes through, from production, over operation and transformation to its end of life.

Service life, estimated service life: the period a building or part meets or is expected to meet a set of requirements given a set of in-use conditions, determined from reference service life data.

Life cycle assessment, LCA: a procedure for evaluating the lifetime environmental impact of a building, or building part, including scope definition, inventory analysis, impact assessment, and interpretation.

Life cycle costing, LCC: a procedure for evaluating the financial impact of a building, or building part, over an agreed period of analysis and as defined in a predetermined scope.

Scenario: a collection of assumptions concerning an expected, or challenging, sequence of future events, such as building transformations, price evolutions and any technical development.
