16. By weight, most material was recycled. Significant portion of non-foundation materials was landfilled.

18. Emissions Savings by Scenario

19. Most emissions benefit due to wood Concrete – lot of weight, small benefit. ….and metals.

20. CostsDemolitionActualMaximum Foundation $ 10 000 Deconstruction/Demolition $ 40 000 $ 155 000 Total $ 50 000 $ 165 000 Cost per tonne emissions $ -1 744 $ -889 Cost per ton of material $ 56 $ 186 Financial Analysis

21. How far should you drive? Example: 130 miles to Boston

22. Reuse or recycle as much of the wood as possible Concrete has minimal impact on emissions Are we measuring/evaluating the right things? Transportation not as important as we thought! Planning, planning, planning Lessons Learned
