The EPA just published a study determining the environmental benefits of a recent ReBUILD Deconstruction project in South Burlington, Vermont. Chris Beling writes: "By deconstructing rather than demolishing the homes, the project managed to reduce the waste it sent to landfills, save construction materials for re-use and reduce the destruction of natural resources for future projects. Deconstruction is distinct from demolition in that it allows building materials to be reused. This case study discusses the second deconstruction project at the Burlington Airport and airport officials plan to continue this model for future projects."
