INSTALLATIONS IN A HOUSE DESIGNED FOR DISASSEMBLY FREDERIK KASTRUP, JOACHIM ANDERSEN,
JONATHAN MAGNES & RASMUS NØDDEGAARD
The following is an excerpt from the report “Energy Effective Integration of Istallations in a House Designes for DfD (Design for Disassembly)” by Frederik Kastrup, Joachim Andersen, Jonathan Magnes og Rasmus Nøddegaard. Supervised by lektor Lotte Bjerregard Jensen and student Jonas Nyholm. 6 Recommendations Based on the case study and investigated possibilities within the design for disassembly environment of building services, the following list propose recommendations in order to achieve building projects with higher value of
• Use mechanical fittings and connections Fittings and connections shall be of mechanical type to make pipes and ducts reusable. • Create a material catalogue and maintenance plan
circularity:
Having a material catalogue makes it possible to keep
• Plan in early design phase
thus, when components are taken back the supplier can
In the beginning of the project, think of how the flexibility of the spaces and interface between components can be integrated. All subsystems must be planned in the pro-
track of installation components and its constituents, ensure the quality when the components are sold again or recycled with other purpose. The maintenance plan ensures that the right components are applied when an-
gramming or design phase.
ything is broken or needs replacement.
• Use larger component sizes
Design for disassembly is necessary to limit the use of
By enlarging the components used in the building it will be easier to reuse when removing it and implementing it in another building. • Make fittings and connections accessible Have easy access to fittings and connections to repair leakage or expand the installations and make enough room for tools.

resources and instead reuse what has already been implemented. This requires a larger focus on materials, their connections and their service life, while planning ahead for the end-of-life phase.”
