return to Living Building Design Studio

What is It?

  • As with the reuse of on-site building materials obtained from deconstruction, the reuse of (used) building materials from off-site providers also extends the cradle to grave life cycle of building materials. Local sources can provide deconstructed materials in all categories.
  • Also known as: Used building materials; reuse building materials; reusable materials

Why is it Important?

Describe how it:

  • strengthen our relationship to the earth...all are connected (sun, wind, water, plants and animals)
  • helps restore the planet's eco-systems (plant, animal, water, air)
  • builds strong communities.
  • creates equal economic opportunities and energy.
  • creates One Earth patterns of living

When to Use It?

  • List the important considerations when to use this pattern.
  • When would it be sustainable?
  • When would it not be sustainable?

Green Garage Use of Used Building Materials from off-site

Sustainability Goals
  • At least 25% of "new" material is reused.
  • Reduce the amount of material used by minimal designs.
  • Design to match manufacturers dimensions to mitigate waste.
  • At least 50% of the "new" material is recyclable.
  • Expected Durability of material is at least 100 years.
Strategy and Conceptual Design
  • Describe how we plan to achieve these goals
  • Explain why we chose this specific strategy and design (our rationale)
  • Include pictures, drawings or videos(flickr)
  • Supporting science:
Proposed Materials / Suppliers
  • Identify (via links and short description) the materials and suppliers we propose to use.
