VDI 2074:2014-07

This standard takes an integrated approach focusing on the creation of value. Guidance is given, relating to the stages in the lifecycle of a building or installation, for establishing cycles by pointing out potential contributions to be made by all parties involved in the planning, erection, use and refurbishing or demolition. By giving preference to material reuse, the standard supports the idea of recycling. The avoidance of costs for treatment and repositories, overall savings are possible.
