Saidani, Michael, and Harrison Kim. "Nexus Between Life Cycle Assessment, Circularity, and Sustainability Indicators – Part I: A Review". Circular Economy and Sustainability. February 18, 2022. https://link.springer.com/...

Sustainable building design influences life cycle costs (LCC) and the level of circularity (LoC) and calls for use of life cycle assessment (LCA) and circularity indicator-based approaches.  Depending on the product and the circular economy (CE) scenarios, different types of connections – beneficial, conditional, or scenario-dependent trade-offs – are identified.  This study addresses the potential concurrence, interdependency or conflict between circularity and sustainability indicators to develop and monitor circular and sustainable systems.  It quantifies the relationship LCC and the LoC using the building circularity indicators (BCI), which is modeled on the material circularity indicator (MCI) for the construction and building industry.
