Accelerating Material Re-Use in Construction (AMRUC)

加速建筑材料再利用（AMRUC）项目将把学术界、实践界和工业界联合起来，加速建筑材料再利用，倡导对现有建筑进行解构而不是拆除（避免浪费），使再利用材料融入供应链。在建筑生命周期的施工阶段，隐含的碳排放量通常相当于其生命周期总排放量的50%/70%。因此，关注隐含碳是实现英国政府定义的净零目标的基本步骤。由于到2050年将存在的80%的建筑物已经建成，因此我们必须充分利用现有的材料，避免对原材料的探索。建筑材料的再利用是循环经济中最节能的解决方案，确保材料价值尽可能长时间地保存下来。在建筑中使用再利用的材料，可以减少建筑的碳含量，并可以尽量减少原始材料的提取和生产，同时减少建筑废物。在此背景下，AMRUC项目旨在：-通过评估和优化Orms材料护照（OMD）开源方法的使用，加速建筑材料的再利用；-确定施工中材料再利用的主要障碍，确定降低风险、延长使用寿命、增加现有材料价值的方法，并考虑不同利益相关者的观点；-制定一份政策文件，提供明确的建议，以加快建筑材料的再利用，促进解构，并将再利用材料纳入供应变化；-在建筑教育、实践和行业中传播最佳实践，以加速建筑中的材料再利用，并将再利用材料纳入供应变化。加速建筑材料再利用，独特地结合了国际领先研究机构Imagination@Lancaster的Ana Costa博士（建筑师、研究员和教育家）的专业知识，以及屡获殊荣的Orms， Designers and Architects ltd在材料护照和建筑材料再利用方面拥有丰富的经验。研究小组将与Orms和UKGBC循环经济工作组领导的加速建筑材料再利用小组合作。

The Accelerating Material Re-Use in Construction (AMRUC) project will bring academia, practice and industry together to accelerate material re-use in construction, advocate deconstruction of existing buildings instead of demolition (avoid waste) to enable the integration of re-used material into the supply chain. Embodied carbon in the construction phase of a building's life typically equates to 50%/70% of its total life cycle emissions. Therefore, the focus on embodied carbon is a fundamental step towards meeting the Net Zero targets defined by the UK government. Since 80% of buildings that will exist in 2050 have been already built, it is imperative that we make the most of the material already in existence and avoid exploration of raw materials. Re-use of construction materials is the most energy-efficient solution for a circular economy, ensuring material value is preserved as long as possible. The use of re-used materials in construction has the potential of reducing the embodied carbon of construction and could minimise the extraction and production of virgin materials as well as reducing construction waste.Within this context, the AMRUC project aims to: - Accelerate material re-use in construction by evaluating and optimising the use of Orms open source approach for material passporting (OMD); - Identify the key barriers to material re-use in construction, define a way to reduce risk, increase life span, add value to existing materials and consider different stakeholder's perspectives; - Produce a policy paper that provides clear recommendations to accelerate material re-use in construction, promote deconstruction and integrate re-used materials into the supply change; - Disseminate best practices across architectural education, practice and industry to accelerate material re-use in construction and integrate re-used materials into the supply change.The Accelerating Material Re-Use in Construction, uniquely combines the expertise of Dr Ana Costa (Architect, Researcher and Educator) from Imagination@Lancaster - an international leading research institution with the award-winning practice Orms, Designers and Architects ltd that has an extensive experience in Material Passporting and re-use of materials in construction. The research team will collaborate with the Accelerating Material Re-Use in Construction Group led by Orms and UKGBC Circular Economy working groups.
