About
Hugo Macedo is a leading researcher at the intersection of sustainable construction, environmental systems analysis, and data-driven modeling. His work focuses on quantifying and mitigating the environmental impacts of the built environment, with a particular emphasis on the often-overlooked demolition phase—a critical yet environmentally degrading stage of the construction lifecycle. Macedo’s major contribution lies in pioneering the integration of system dynamics with machine learning to assess the environmental footprint of building materials during demolition. His most-cited paper (2025, 7 citations) introduces a novel framework that captures the complex, dynamic interactions between material flows, waste management, and environmental outputs, offering a more holistic and predictive approach than traditional static assessments. This work directly addresses the construction sector’s substantial contribution to climate change by providing actionable insights for reducing degradation. By blending computational modeling with sustainability science, Macedo is shaping how researchers and practitioners evaluate end-of-life building processes, making his research highly relevant for students and professionals aiming to decarbonize the construction industry.
