Building LCA

Show Menu

Building Life Cycle Assessment (Building LCA) is a multi-step process that systematically evaluates the environmental impact of a building from start to finish. It covers all stages of a building's life cycle, including raw material extraction, transportation, and construction, as well as its use, maintenance, and eventual demolition.

The purpose of Building LCA is to identify and quantify the environmental impacts of different building materials, construction methods, and design choices. This information is then used to make informed decisions that minimize the environmental footprint of the building. By taking into account all aspects of a building's life cycle, Building LCA provides a comprehensive and objective evaluation of its environmental impact.

The evaluation process of Building LCA involves several steps, including:

  1. Defining the Scope of the Assessment: determining what aspects of the building's life cycle to include in the assessment and setting clear goals and objectives.
  2. Data Collection: gathering information on the materials, construction methods, energy use, waste generation, and other relevant factors.
  3. Environmental Impact Analysis: using specialized software to quantify the environmental impact of the building in terms of its carbon footprint, energy use, waste generation, and other relevant factors.
  4. Interpretation of Results: evaluating the results of the analysis and making recommendations for improvements to minimize the building's environmental impact.

The goal of Building LCA is to ensure that buildings are sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible, and to contribute to reducing the overall impact of the built environment on the planet. By conducting a Building LCA, companies and individuals can make informed decisions about the materials, construction methods, and design choices that they use in building construction, ensuring that they are making a positive impact on the environment.

Following the implementation of improvement works, the environmental performance of the building is assessed through a comparison of various parameters, including:

  • Global Warming Potential
  • Contribution to Ozone Layer Depletion
  • Acidification
  • Eutrophication
  • Ozone Formation
  • Reduction of Non-Renewable Energy Sources

The Building Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a crucial component of the assessment, as it comprehensively evaluates and measures the environmental impact of the building over its entire life cycle. The LCA process takes into account all stages of a building's life, from material extraction and transportation to construction, use, maintenance, and demolition.

It is essential to analyze the extent and direction of the improvement works planned to be implemented, as this information plays a vital role in the Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) studies and helps ensure that the building is sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible."

  • Identification and mitigation of environmental effects, resulting in a more sustainable and energy-efficient building.
  • Reduction in carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable future.
  • Enhancement of a company's competitiveness in both domestic and foreign markets, as well as improving the company's brand value by demonstrating its responsibility to the world and future.
  • Positive impact on international green building evaluation systems, such as LEED and BREEAM certifications, potentially leading to higher certification degrees.
  • Providing a healthier and more environmentally friendly environment for building occupants.

By conducting Building LCA, companies can demonstrate their commitment to environmental sustainability and take a step towards creating a more sustainable built environment.
