Abstract

In designs made by taking into account the life cycle process from the design stage, the reuse of
building elements and components at the end of the buildings' life will create environmental and
economic value. In this context, the Light Steel Structure Scoring System (HÇYPS) was developed
to reveal the demountability level of light steel structures. In HÇYPS, each element is scored
according to the main criteria of durability, sustainability and demountability. In order to score, the
values of each building element taken from the literature were converted into a 5-point Likert scale.
In order to use the proposed scoring system to determine the demountability level of light steel
structures in Turkey, a survey was conducted to determine the most preferred materials and to
determine the approach towards the demountability of light steel structures in the sector. When the
data obtained was applied to the HÇYPS, it was seen that the demountability level of light steel
structures in Turkey was at a good level.
