Design for Deconstruction (DfD) (6 points)

GREEN GLOBES #5.7.2.1 - ANSI #10.7.2.1 Does the project teams document the application of design for deconstruction (DFD) principles in the design of the building and provides the Owner with a Deconstruction Plan that addresses both partial deconstruction (for renovations) and total deconstruction (for end of life removal) of the building to maximize the reuse and recycling of building components and materials?
