INDICATOR
C8 Number of workers in circular building
definition

Number of workers qualified in activities of renovation and deconstruction. As the planning phase of circular building (architecture) is hard to identify with hard data, the Narrow and Regenerate strategies are not considered in this indicator. The Slow (renovation and retrofitting) and Close (deconstruction) activities can be measured instead in terms of hours spent by construction workers in renovation and deconstruction (with sorting of waste).

Relevance

The construction sector is one of the main contributors in terms of material and emission footprint. Thus, we need to rethink the way we deal with new construction (in the design and the material selection) as well as with old dwellings (renovation, retrofitting, and deconstruction).
