Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is increasingly used for decision-making in the design process of buildings and neighbourhoods. Therefore, visualisation LCA results to support interpretation becomes more important. The number building tools published literature has increased substantially recent years. Most them include some type visualisation. However, there are currently no clear guidelines harmonised way presenting results. In this paper, we review current state art visualising provide a...
The application of heuristic algorithms with life cycle assessment (LCA) is a promising approach to efficiently optimize the building and minimize environmental impact even in very large design space. In this paper, modular parametric optimization framework combining advanced modelling, LCA, energy calculation single- multi-objective was developed applied multi-apartment house Hungary. variables comprise geometry, envelope, fixtures, as well heating source. objective expressed terms six most...
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an increasingly widespread method for the environmental accounting of products and services. Since almost all production processes use grid electricity, impact power generation plays a key role in LCA. There high potential both on local regional scale improving electricity to achieve decarbonisation goals near future. The supply from varies short (intra-annual) long term (over several years). This variation usually highly simplified current LCA practice, yearly...
Abstract Purpose Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a widely used method for the evaluation of buildings’ environmental impacts, but these analyses contain high levels uncertainty. Decarbonization electricity production key to reach climate goals, influencing all sectors including construction The objective this paper study sensitivity environmentally optimum building design solution changing mix assist decision-making. Methods In paper, multi-objective optimization was applied minimize life...
The paper presents the development process of an innovative, prefabricated compact house, which aims at creating a net zero greenhouse gas emission building design over whole life cycle. Building Information Modelling helped to quantify required materials. Dynamic simulations were performed in DesignBuilder calculate energy demand for operational period. To evaluate financial feasibility and carbon balance building, cycle assessment costing used. A heat moisture transfer simulation was...
In the environmental analysis of buildings, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is gaining more and interest. It due to fact, that LCA very comprehensive in considering many impacts all life-cycle phases examined building. Since buildings have a complicated geometry built up with numerous constructions consist materials, includes phases, results an assessment are likely be difficult analyze detail. this paper we introduce visual method help architects analysts quickly understand assessment....
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is an advantageous tool for the analysis of overall environmental effects a building. Most decisions that influence final result LCA are made during design process Therefore, in early stages crucial, because changes this period cheaper and more effective. However, there many other aspects During high number variables have to be defined, each stage specific fixed depending on various engineering considerations. In paper we investigate effect results. Within...
Building life cycle assessment is getting more and attention within the topic of environmental impact caused by built environment. Although research focus on embodied buildings, investigation operational energy use still needs attention. The majority building stock does not comply with nearly zero requirements. Also, in case retrofitting, when most already spent existing structures (and so immutable), importance rises. There are several methods to calculate performance buildings covering...
Abstract In recent years the application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for assessing and improving environmental performance buildings has increased. At same time, automated optimization building designs is gaining attraction both design research purposes. this regard, a number issues persist when aiming to optimize building’s impacts along process. Firstly, as LCA applies life cycle perspective, many aspects have be considered (e.g. energy demand in operation well consumption resources...
Abstract Introduction: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a scientific method for evaluating the environmental impact of products. Standards provide general framework conducting an LCA study and calculation rules specifically buildings. A challenge to design energy-efficient buildings that have low impact, reasonable costs, high thermal comfort, as these are usually conflicting aspects. Efficient mathematical optimisation algorithms can be applied such engineering problems. Methodology: In this...
