ABSTRACT
This study quantifies for the first time the contribution of high-weight demountable construction to the sustainable level of a building using 11 of the most representative and internationally used GBRSs (Green Building Rating Systems). The scores of a prefabricated, high-weight demountable building (Sayab) were compared with those of a non-demountable building (a baseline), in both cases using 11 of the most important GBRSs. All GBRSs have found that high-weight demountable construction provides a higher level of sustainability. However, the resulting scores varied widely (from an increase of 1.4% to an increase of 22.72%), and only three GBRSs clearly valued its obvious sustainable advantages (CEDES: 22.72%, DNGB: 14.79%, SBTools: 12.4%) while the rest valued it very little, and four of them barely valued it. The results of this case study are generalizable, since the different existing GBRSs do not have the capacity to detect small changes in high-weight demountable construction systems. However similar studies should be carried out to confirm the results obtained and accurately quantify the contribution of demountable construction to the sustainable level of buildings.
KEYWORDS
