There are important points to be ensured as of the design stage for the implementation of building dismantling. One such point is to have a designer with sufficient knowledge in designing a demountable structure in which high-level building elements can be reused. In this study, a scoring system has been developed to guide the designer in the selection of materials during the design stage so that the elements and components in the subsystems of the structures that end their life cycles are highly demountable and reusable. With this system, the designer will be able to predict to what extent the building can be dismantled and the building elements can be reused depending on the selected material.}, number={2}, publisher={Süleyman Demirel University}
