  1. Chapter 7 – Built Environment

  2. Introduction • What is built environment? • Two strategies to consume less resources • Use less material • Use more material for higher energy efficiency in the occupation phase • In OECD countries building use • 30 to 50% of raw materials • 25 to 45% of final energy consumption • 40% of waste to landfills

  3. 7.1.1-7.1.2 • Terms • GHGE neutral • Carbon neutral • Net zero • Policy and codes • Efficiency ratings • LEED – not based on full LCA

  4. 7.2 Case Studies in Built Environment • Building long-lived • What is functional unit • How has it changed • Tradeoff between products when it is built and future energy consumption • Insulation, plastic sealing, efficiency

  5. 7.2.1 Olympic Stadium • LCA to quantify impacts of stadium • Scope included • Procurement (raw material extraction through delivery to building site) • Construction and change orders • Operation and maintenance for 50 years • Demolition

  6. Life Cycle Stages Considered • Total life cycle – functional unit was the sum of procurement, construction, operation, and demolition • Procurement of materials – functional unit materials needed • Construction – function unit construction of stadium • Operation – functional unit was estimated events and spectators • Demolition – functional unit demolition

  7. Further Information on Scope • Soft furnishings neglected • Systems outside boundary of stadium • Precinct works • Outbuildings

  8. 7.2.1.1 Results Table 7.2 (Horne et al., 2009) Operation a big factor

  9. 7.2.2 Building Materials • Type of material impacts operational characteristics • Two buildings with same materials will have different energy performance • Installation differences • Scenarios investigated • Business as usual • More multi-residential • Reduced demolition, plus many others

  10. 7.2.2.1 - Results Figure 7.3 Horne et al., 2009

  11. Figure 7.4 Horne et al., 2009

  12. Figure 7.5 Horne et al., 2009

  13. 7.3 Future Directions • Improve thermal efficiency to reduce GHGE • Could lead to more embodied energy • Operational aspects a big part of a building • Building rating tools partially built on LCA • Improved data • LCA can help with functional units for tools • Energy per house • Energy per resident of house • Energy per m2

  14. 7.3 Future cont. • Appliances often not considered, but LCA could help with metrics and labeling • LCA in urban planning • I would say roads and water • Greenspace • LCA on an assemblage basis • 2x4 wall section
