When a building is torn down for new construction, we loose more than the built resource (and its associated heritage)—we lose embodied energy. And at what cost? The embodied energy calculator represents a rough attempt to quantify this expenditure. See our teardown calculator to view the potential energy consequences, from building lost to new construction. In the meantime, continue to use embodied energy to confront the avoidable. Loss of a scarce resource. 2007 Building Energy Data Book.

The Greenest Building is the One Already Built. When a building is torn down, most of the the demolition debris ends up in a landfill. Some goes to Construction and Demoltion (C&D) landfills, others to landfills that handle Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Where it goes depends on your location. Where we live, Illinois, there are only three active C&D Landfills, as reported by the EPA. CONSTRUCTION and DEMOLITION DEBRIS. And here is a single calculator for demo waste alone. Appendix A contains residential an...
