Research 517: Town Revitalisation through the Integration of Vacant Buildings into the Circular Economy: Final Report
Authors: Liam Heaphy, Philip Crowe, Ciara Reddy, Rola Abu Hilal, Lysander Reid-Powell, Gloriana Vargas Castro and Herin Vora, July 2026
Year: 2026
The built environment accounts for nearly 40% of global carbon emissions, with the construction sector driving substantial resource depletion, waste generation, and environmental degradation. The Irish Centre for High-End Computing (UoG) and UCD addressed a research gap by examining the costs and barriers to the adaptive reuse of vacant buildings in Irish towns. The findings show vacancy is concentrated in terraced town-centre buildings and derelict sites, highlighting the need for targeted solutions. Retrofitting existing buildings was found to have significantly lower carbon impacts than new construction, with further savings possible through retaining more building elements, low-carbon design choices and block-scale regeneration. Key barriers included accessibility issues, legal complexities, limited data and resource constraints. The research recommends low-carbon retrofitting policies, improved grant schemes, professional training and Town Centre First planning initiatives.
