The buildings' life cycle assessment is missing consensus on the methods for revealing environmental benefits in case of components that are designed disassembly. To clarify conflicting guidelines, this study provides a new improved method and investigates its applicability by comparing it to two approaches suggested previous literature. effects methodological choices applying them three buildings with same spatial layout but different structural solutions: business as usual, wooden...
Finland and the European Union aim to reduce CO2 emissions by 80–100 % before 2050. This requires drastic changes in all emissions-generating sectors. In building sector, new buildings are required be nearly zero energy buildings. However, 79 of were built 2000, meaning that they lack heat recovery suffer from badly insulated facades. study presents four large-scale retrofit scenarios, showing emission reduction potential whole Finnish stock. Six basic types with several age categories...
Abstract Wood ash has been used to alleviate nutrient deficiencies and acidification in boreal forest soils. However, nitrogen (N) fertilization may affect microbial processes producing or consuming greenhouse gases: methane (CH 4 ), nitrous oxide (N 2 O) carbon dioxide (CO ). Ash N can stimulate nitrification denitrification and, therefore, increase O emission suppress CH uptake rate. also respiration thereby enhancing CO emission. The fluxes of , were measured a spruce soil treated with...
Abstract In our review of recent flood risk mapping approaches in Europe, we noted that the sources uncertainty were rarely questioned. We demonstrated potential buildings using a case study spring 2005, Kittilä, Finland. One‐ and two‐dimensional hydraulic models corresponded well with actual inundation. The initial modelling result inundated differed considerably from reality, but this could be improved through performed more diverse building elevation data. accuracy digital terrain model...
Estonian cost optimal and nearly zero energy building (nZEB) performance levels were determined for the reference detached house, apartment office building. Cost levels, i.e. leading to lowest life cycle according defined methodology, are implemented into new regulation as minimum requirements buildings. The that came force since 9 January 2013 includes nZEB buildings, but they not mandatory. Compared previous requirements, improve by 20%-40% depending on type sources used. results of...
To date, the existing literature lacks any studies that compare timber and concrete apartment buildings in Finnish context regarding their carbon footprint, handprint, cost of frame structures. This study rigorously analyzes calculates costs associated with various structural solutions a proposed multi-story building located Laajasalo, Helsinki, Finland. While primary focus is on wooden construction, exploring both its challenges opportunities, this also includes comparative assessment...
Purpose Design management plays a significant role in value creation construction project. Within the last few decades, new design tools such as building information model have been introduced, which supposedly enhance productivity and quality. However, no revolution of quality has emerged. Therefore, more research on how affects project is needed. The purpose this paper to better understand connection between procedures Design/methodology/approach This case study with mixed-method approach....
Reaching sustainability targets requires a holistic understanding of the different dimensions residential building stock development. This paper aims to provide solid and transparent approach for modelling development with focus on long-term need repairs renovations. The is based Dynamic Material Flow Analysis (MFA) model constructed using comprehensive Finnish statistics. Still, it widely applicable geographical locations modifiable various purposes. main contributions previous literature...
Abstract Adoption of the design for disassembly (DfD) concept is suggested as a promising strategy to cope with climate targets and increase circular economy in construction sector. Yet, little used partially due technical challenges, including inadequate information about demolition characteristics components. This study aims investigate demands linked new concrete components purpose reuse. In building phase, cause majority emissions. Thus, these also have greatest potential CO 2 emissions...
