Buildings are major sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and contributors to the climate crisis. To meet climate-change mitigation needs, one must go beyond operational energy consumption related GHG buildings address their full life cycle. This study investigates global trends arising across cycle by systematically compiling analysing more than 650 assessment (LCA) case studies. The results, presented for different performance classes based on a final sample 238 cases, show clear...
The appropriateness of the fossil Cumulative Energy Demand (CED) as an indicator for environmental performance products and processes is explored with a regression analysis between life-cycle impacts CEDs 1218 products, divided into product categories "energy production", "material "transport", "waste treatment". Our results show that, all groups but waste treatment, CED correlates well most impact categories, such global warming, resource depletion, acidification, eutrophication,...
Recent developments in laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) have demonstrated its potential for situ microanalysis major, minor and trace elements solids, such as minerals. With the low backgrounds high sensitivity of new ICP-MS instruments, limits detection 1–10 ng g -1 a 40 µm pit many can be reached. Fractionation effects due to different rates various prevented quantification without matrix-matched standards with 1064 nm Nd:YAG lasers. These been...
Cumulative energy demand has been used as a methodology to assess life cycle environmental impacts of commodity production since the early seventies, but also criticized because it focuses on only. During past 30 years there much research into development more complex single-score impact assessment methodologies. However, comprehensive analysis potential similarities and differences between these methodologies cumulative not carried out so far. Here we compare 498 commodities with results...
In recent years, several methods have been developed which propose different freshwater use inventory schemes and impact assessment characterization models considering various cause–effect chain relationships. This work reviewed a multitude of indicators for potentially applicable in life cycle (LCA). review is used as basis to identify the key elements build scientific consensus operational LCA. evaluation builds on criteria procedure within International Reference Life Cycle Data System...
Microscopic fluid inclusions in minerals are the main source of information about chemical composition fluids associated with large-scale material transport Earth's interior. Hydrothermal processes responsible for natural enrichment metal resources many ore deposits. For multi-element analysis microscopic (typically 5–50 µm diameter), LA-ICP-MS has become one most promising techniques owing to recent progress laser optics design and development high-sensitivity ICP mass spectrometers. The...
Abstract Purpose Assessing impacts of abiotic resource use has been a topic persistent debate among life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) method developers and source confusion for (LCA) practitioners considering the different interpretations safeguard subject mineral resources resulting variety LCIA methods to choose from. Based on review 27 existing methods, accomplished in first part this paper series (Sonderegger et al. 2020), provides recommendations regarding application-dependent areas...
