Building Revolution
Detachability (LI) in BCI Building
The BCI Building calculation is used by Building Revolution in many projects.
BCI Gebouw has a BCI score. This score is a combination of a Loosenability (LI) and Materiaal Circularity Index (MCI). BCI Building gives circularity a score. Building Revolution makes and validates calculations. Here we address the Loosenability (LI) component.
Building Revolution is specialist BCI Expert
Marco van Brink and Simon Hogenstijn are recognized by BCI Building as experts. They can validate a BCI Building calculation.
Get in Touch.
Making BCI Building calculation
Complexity of Buildings and Their Detachability:
- Buildings consist of different materials, products and elements.
- Interconnections determine detachability and reuse potential.
Technical Factors for Loosenability (Loosenability Index – LI):
- Type of Connection:
- Nature of connection between elements.
- Accessibility of Connection:
- How easy connections are to reach and release.
- Shape Inclusion:
- Extent to which shape of components makes disassembly difficult.
- Intersections:
- Interference of different connections in the disassembly process.
Composition of Product Circularity Index (PCI):
- Material Circularity Index (MCI):
- Assesses circular potential of a product regardless of assembly.
- Loosenability Index (LI):
- Measures detachability of product based on technical factors.
PCI for Circular Assessment:
- PCI combines MCI and LI for circular potential in the structure.
- Scale from 0.00 (linear) to 1.00 (circular) to quantify sustainability.
The Releaseability Factors and the Material Circularity Index (MCI) work together in the Product Circularity Index (PCI) to evaluate the circular potential of a product in a building. The PCI provides insight into the sustainability of building elements and their potential for reuse within a circular context.
BCI Validate Calculation
Building Revolution validates BCI Building calculations.
If you want a BCI calculation with a check on the correctness of the entered data and thus a check on the accuracy of the BCI score, experts from BCI Building can perform this check for you.
This shows you that the calculation has always been entered 100% correctly.
BCI calculation for BREEAM 2020 MAT07
MAT07 in the BREEAM 2020 requires an LI of 40% or 60%.
Building Revolution has already produced a report for more than 10 projects on how to achieve BREEAM points as well.
Especially for high scores like BREEAM Excellent or Outstanding, achieving MAT 07 is very important.
This makes higher scores in BREEAM possible.
Benefits BCI Building
A building with BCI Building has many different benefits.
- Various buildings can now be compared
- Actively drives continuous improvement of the construction process
- Corporate sustainability is a must to the outside world
BCI Building gives circularity a score. The BCI is composed of an LI and an MCI. Building Revolution makes and validates calculations. Conclusion is that we know how your project can become more circular.
