We couldn’t retrieve this paper’s full text, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Ness et al. (2015) estimate that embodied energy savings of 9.98 MJ/kg of steel are possible by reusing rather than recycling, based on a case study of a former manufacturing plant.

    “They argue that improved traceability of steel and the storage of key data over the building lifetime will unlock the residual steel at end-of-life, and estimate that embodied energy savings of 9.98 MJ/kg of steel are possible by reusing rather than recycling, based on a case study of a former manufacturing plant.”
  • High costs involved in maintaining RFID readability or a BIM model over the life of a building may prevent the uptake of this strategy, given a visual inspection and creation of a deconstruction plan is a potentially low cost option.

    “However, the high costs involved in maintaining a RFID readability or a BIM model over the life of a building, may prevent the uptake of this strategy, given a visual inspection and creation of a deconstruction plan is a potentially low cost option.”
  • Ness et al suggest the use of radio frequency tagging of components and the use of building information modeling to track components and assemblies and import them into building design software at the design stage.

    “Ness et al [94] suggest the use of radio frequency tagging of components and the use of building information modeling to track components and assemblies and import them into building design software at the design stage.”
  • Digital tracking and modelling devices, sensors, sensing devices and programmable logic controllers, hybrid genetic algorithms, and automated optical sorting are already utilized in recycling and reuse circular approaches.

    “digital tracking and modelling devices used in the steel industry [121], sensors employed for thin-film photovoltaic (PV) technologies [122] and on buildings [123], sensing devices and programmable logic controllers for a steel industrial complex for water [124], hybrid genetic algorithms employed on household appliances [125], and automated optical sorting for recycled glass [126].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
