Abstract
This article proposes one way to steer construction and building design to produce features that support the circular economy and long life cycles of buildings. The tools presented for this purpose include a model based on four levels of adaptability and a requirement to plan and present change scenarios related preferably to several levels. When a building’s features respond to one adaptability level, it is classified as passable; if its features respond to two levels, the building is classified as good; when they respond to three or four, the building is classified as excellent.
