Reincarnate D3.2 – Methods for BIM Supported Dismantling

The report outlines a new approach for reusing building components by combining sustainability goals with emerging digital tools. Developed alongside TU Berlin’s Deliverable 3.3, it connects BIM-based dismantling methods with parametric modelling (via Dynamo) to support high-quality de-installation and reuse. Together, the two deliverables build a TRL 4–6 concept enabling architects and property owners to exchange reusable components through the CP-IM platform.

The framework merges theory and practice, showing how BIM can guide both designers searching for suitable reused products and owners seeking disassembly plans for their buildings. It also structures the required product information using a UML class diagram built on IFC standards and proposes new property sets to improve data flow. Finally, the report recommends integrating embodied-carbon calculations so stakeholders can prioritise the reuse of windows, façade elements and HVAC units based on their climate impact.
