Abstract :

Adaptive reuse of the building is a means to restore the life of buildings at the end of their useful life, by determining a suitable use based on their potential and characteristics. Adaptive reuse approach avoids the lavish process of demolition and new built and caused materials and embodied energy saving, materials waste reducing, time saving, economic savings, avoiding overuse of resources and lands and preserve them for future generations. But the question is what buildings are suitable for adaptive reuse? When is the best time to intervene to implement this approach? Such questions show that adaptive reuse requires proper evaluation and management. The adaptive reuse potential (ARP) model with generic application in all country and for all building, is a decision making tool for proper management of this approach. This model addition to calculate the potential of building for reuse and its useful life gives the best time to intervene. In this way, we can identify and reuse buildings with suitable potential for this purpose. This paper first analyzes adaptive reuse potential (ARP) model and its related factors and then investigates the possibility of implement and justification of adaptive reuse potential (ARP) model for different types of building to achieving more accurate results and outcomes.
