According to the Circularity Gap Report 2020, a mere 8.6% of the global economy was circular in 2019. The Global Status Report 2018 declares that building construction and operations accounted for 36% of global final energy use and 39% of energy–related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The Paris Agreement demands that the building and construction sector decarbonizes globally by 2050. This requires strategies that minimize the environmental impact of buildings and practices extending the lifecycle of their constituents within a circular resource flow. To ensure that effective measures are applied, a suitable method is needed to assess compliance in materials, processes, and design strategies within circular economy principles. The study’s assumption is that synthetic and reliable indicators for that purpose could be based on reversibility and durability features. The paper provides an overview of building design issues within the circular economy perspective, highlighting the difficulty in finding circular technologies which are suitable to enhance buildings’ service life while closing material loops. The results identify reversibility and durability as potential indicators for assessing circular building technologies. The next research stage aims to further develop the rating of circularity requirements for both building technologies and entire buildings.

Sustainable development has long been considered the principle on which to base human action. The construction sector today in progress toward the Fourth Industrial Revolution, as well as the other productive ones, turns out strongly involved in this issue and aims at introducing, since the design phase, and then in construction and management phases, tools for evaluation environmental impacts and energetic output of buildings. In this scenery the paper introduces scientific presuppositions and general operational definitions of a multicriterial tool for sustainability evaluation denominated Protocol ITACA in its version for Calabria Region. The authors participated in its drafting with roles of responsibility for the definition and structuring of the contents of one of the five areas of evaluation in which the Protocol is structured. The Area E. Quality of service. One is the assumed key aspect that makes explicit the relationship between maintenance and evaluation of environmental sustainability, defining a new strong indicator of sustainability. Today the definition of strategies for buildings sustainability is compared, in fact, with the guidelines sets out by the provisions both of legislative nature, at European and National level, both of European planning. They enact the direct connection among design and construction aspects and the matters related to buildings management and to maintenance of their qualities during the time.
