Yes! Rocky Mountain Arsenal on 15,000 acres ten miles north of Denver, Colorado, U.S.A. was cleaned up and repurposed as a national wildlife refuge. This cost $2.1 billion USD. The site had been used to manufacture chemical weapons, e.g. mustard gas, nerve gas since 1948 until 1984. Today it’s home to thousands of Great Plains wildlife.😮❤

There are stores across the US run by the non-profit Habitat for Humanity called the Habitat Re-stores, where people can donate their used household things like building materials, appliances, fixtures, and furniture! The stores help to fund the homes that Habitat for Humanity build for families in need. I am also friends with a man that goes into old homes and buildings and salvages their building materials and sells them. Think beautiful old hardwood floors, windows, doors, even door handles!

In poorer areas of the southern states in the US I've seen this a lot but very informally. People will basically raid sites that are being taken down for whatever they can use as well as any leftover material from newer construction. It's common practice to set your leftovers on the curb even in more well off neighborhoods once your project is done. A number of people in construction have told me their company policy is to just throw extras away because it's too complicated to use them for a different project from a billing perspective.

Putting materials on the curb is a great idea. It's an intuitive message that the items are free to take. This saves on dumping fees, so it really is a win-win. If there isn't enough room, then the company could ask neighbours to lend space near the curb.

Good idea to reuse materials and parts of the demolished buildings. But renovating/reusing all buildings would be better. I think the main reason why only 1/3 of the buildings are reused is that new build houses/buildings sell better and they can fit more buildings on the same area (sell more apartments etc.) I’ve seen that many times. Old Buildings are demolished and then new ones with more space are build.

Most places also like to renovate existing structures but one of the main issues here is that these buildings have too much square feet for Germans so they want to obviously go through some really cutting edge changes basically to hide that fact. While it's sad to see something change and disappear that was so much part of your life that's the cycle of life and it has to happen. If it's anything like they did at Campbells barracks I'm sure that they'll make the roads wonky and very difficult to travel on and I'm sure the buildings will be made much smaller to fit the requirements of the German population

I was watching this video and started laughing because here in the US the native people have been doing this for centuries. I just got back a week ago from tearing down, not demolishing, an entire sub division of about 30 homes. They had been declared abandoned for about 3 years. Out of 30 homes we will be able to almost completely build about 20 homes. Reducing the cost of each home by 60%. That equates to a $150,000 home costing only about $60,000 times 20 homes = $1,200,000 and a savings of $1,800,000. Which means we save more than we spend. Who, in their right mind, would reject that?

eliminating options of virgin materials will force builders into using more of the same materials in construction. That will make it easier to reuse the materials, as there will be fewer type to deal with. IE all houses preindustrial, were just wood. No tile, no plaster board, Wooden walls, wooden doors, wooden shingles. Very easy to reuse those materials in other houses. While fire laws may have stopped that, other types of materials, think 3d printed concrete homes could do about the same.

Not really a new concept, seems like it will just increase cost and complicate processes to now catalog everything.

Germans love a sausage right? Put them all over Germany. Hotdog is just a crappy sausage, so sale sausages to the germans instead; if they like hotdogs then they can just keep them as originally used.

? these buildings do not look like they were build in the 50's ,?, looks like the base got upgraded to some nice high standards in the 80's, the quality of the build is in commercial grade , it is build well, there was no need to redo all, the base was neglected not destroyed !! some good cleaning and renovations would do, and to insure better R-standards the walls could get extra foam and metal covers, the windows are large and commercial grade, let them be. If we just gonna up grade the R standards every 50 years or so the do we count the energy we use and waste in order to make these changes? I DONT THINK WE DO. !! and that is a pure waste of energy.

Sure...but this is labor intensive, which takes away man-hours out of other work. This is not efficient.

Cool idea. In reality though, most builders aren't willing to take on the liability of using second hand materials. Nor should they. Why take the risk of ruining your client's house by using old substandard materials?

The price of labor is to high so they wil not separate the glas and aluminium from the plasticwindowframes. It wil end up in the landfill. The big fridges are to inefficient so there is no market for in europe and to expensive to export. The stoves are to big for europe so they get scraped. The electric outlets are to expensive in labour to get them out.

I thought that too - but you've no idea from the report what proportion of the buildings you saw were barrack blocks versus married quarters. It may be that the internal layout of the blocks prevented re-use for civilian rentals - after all the designers would still need to comply with German construction laws and fire regulations. And they said that the new development would be higher density than the old base - so you've no idea of how many new flats / houses they plan to stuff into the area versus the number of people they could house if they converted everything.

How about making buildings that late over 100 years instead of 20-30 years and have to “deconstruct” them to build another????

Hey there! The complex was built in 1952-1955. Not all of the buildings are demolished. Some are demolished and others are renovated.
