"Assessment of the energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction of glass structures through alternative demolition scenarios", Glass Structures and Engineerin, Vol. 1, No. 2, pp. 435-449.2363-5142http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12416/6734Glass is a material that has been significantly increasing its role in architecture in recent decades. Although glass is a material that can survive long, as can be seen from the archaeological pieces in many museums, in practice the glass structures that built nowadays have a finite life time. A notorious case is the original New York Apple Cube, which was removed and replaced within several years of original completion.Whatever the eventual lifetime of the structure, there will be a point where the structure needs to be demolished. This introduces critical questions about the relation between ecological impact and the demolition methods and procedure. This paper looks at the eco-impact of different end of life scenarios of glass structures, using the Haarlem glass cube as a well-documented example to determine the differences between various ends of life scenarios.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessS Glass ConstructionLaminated GlassEnd of LifeDemolition MethodSeparation/Collection MethodAssessment of the energy savings and CO2 emissions reduction of glass structures through alternative demolition scenariosAssessment of the Energy Savings and Co2 Emissions Reduction of Glass Structures Through Alternative Demolition ScenariosArticle1243544910.1007/s40940-016-0024-3
