Building information modeling (BIM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) are two methods that can be helpful when designing buildings with lower environmental impacts. One of the most significant examples impact assessments in construction is green building certification. Certified have improved performance greater asset value. In this study, four certification systems were investigated for their potential interconnections BIM LCA. The main tasks (1) to review a BIM-based workflow, (2) assess its...
Besides having positive impact on sustainable development, natural building materials also have technical properties comparable with standard and important additional qualities. This article focuses thermal, moisture biological of thermal insulating based vegetal animal fibres. There is a lack data regarding furthermore the these types can be site-dependent. Therefore been tested for properties. In research array, there were following materials: treated sheep wool, raw wood fibre, hemp,...
Abstract Introduction: The international research project IEA EBC Annex 72 investigates the life cycle related environmental impacts caused by buildings. aims inter alia to harmonise LCA approaches on Methods: To identify major commonalities and discrepancies among national approaches, reference buildings were defined present compare approaches. A residential high-rise building located in Tianjin, China, was selected as one of main construction elements are reinforced concrete shear walls,...
Abstract Introduction: The application of the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) technique to a building requires collection and organization large amount data over its life cycle. systematic decomposition method can be used classify components, elements materials, overcome specific difficulties that are encountered when attempting complete cycle inventory increase reliability transparency results. In this paper, which was developed in context research project IEA EBC Annex 72, we demonstrate...
Currently, the emphasis is put on sustainable buildings; simultaneously, energy efficiency in buildings, with respect to this fact of necessity test thermal properties new building materials. This article deals concrete containing recycled aggregate. Four types aggregate were used for production concrete. For testing concrete, a total ten mixtures made, one which was reference mixture and natural replaced by varying ratio other mixtures. Finally, it possible say that according be same...
In many countries of Central Europe is a stock existing buildings from 1950's to 1980's featuring original panel curtain walls. These envelope structures are now at the end their service life and thus replacement solution needed. There various alternatives such as aluminium, steel or steel-plastic panels, but these have typically high amounts embodied energy carbon footprint. Within national research project Intelligent Buildings, Czech Technical University in Prague has developed...
Energy retrofitting of existing building stock has significant potential for the reduction energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Roughly half CO2 emissions from Czech are estimated to be allocated residential buildings. Approximately one-third have already been retrofitted, but mostly takes place in large cities due greater income. A favourable concept mass stock, affordable even low-income regions, was interest. For a reference building, multi-criteria assessment numerous...
Life cycle assessment (LCA) has become an important part of building design optimization. Design studios need tools that make the LCA buildings faster and simple, provide results allow comparison between variants. The objective this study was to show possibility data integration into existing tool, DEK Building Library, which is already widely used in Czech Republic, by connecting it 1200 items largest cost-estimating database, application connection information modeling (BIM) tools. This...
Housing stock is one of the major energy consumers in Europe, or Czech Republic respectively, and it not easy to reach European 20/20/20 target with an envelope insulation only. Therefore a deep renovation alternative consisting prefabricated insulating panels, implementation new smart HVAC systems use renewable sources presented. In this article, boundary conditions limitations various aspects such solution are described possible shown, particularly on reference building Milevsko, Republic,...
Abstract The main objective of the present project for Czech government was to create a catalogue construction products and materials which contain recycled content from demolition waste. motivation work support higher utilization with secondary raw in Republic. It designed architects, designers, civil engineers, contractors public private investors. provides an overview content, list valid requirements on listed standards legislation. Examples good practice are presented break existing...
Buildings are responsible for 35% of greenhouse gas emissions released in Europe. The highest potential reduction the environmental impacts is existing buildings' energy efficiency improvement. paper introduces a development new methodology rapid deep retrofitting buildings applicable to residential housing stock Central It briefly describes steps from production building information model complete renovation. presents experience pre-production phases on case study Czech Republic. Technical...
The main objective of the present research was to develop a methodology for assessment resilience residential buildings in Central Europe. purpose is enable set performance levels terms new multifamily buildings. paper describes method selection and development criteria final structure whole scheme presents examples detailed evaluation using selected criteria.
Abstract Buildings are responsible for a significant share of EU energy consumption. To improve efficiency the building stock, it is needed to significantly increase renovation rates. overcome actual barriers related this problem, such as partial and non-systematic renovations, lasting unrest during or time-consuming wet processes, an industrialized construction system using prefabricated modular elements seems be possible way. Such mass retrofitting residential buildings in Central Europe...
Abstract Historically, the fire-safety orders restricted use of majority nature-based low impact materials in town buildings. Houses therefore became rigid and resilient. Today, we need to return those materials, but tradition public opinion are preventing changes building habits. This paper describes work done within a research project, which aims define resilient residential building. The main goal is development an assessment method that evaluates building’s ability withstand or easily...
Paper presents some results of long-term research a new optimized subtle precast construction system based on high performance silicate composites. The is particularly aimed for building in passive or zero-energy standard. Subtle structural elements from concrete (HPC) can be integrated into envelope energy efficient buildings with significant reduction structure and avoiding risk thermal bridges. Significant advantages are material savings during production, transport, manipulation...

Abstract In order to significantly reduce energy consumption of its building stock, Europe has focus on retrofitting existing buildings. A usual process is very labour intensive and time consuming. It usually takes several weeks or even months replace old windows by new, install new thermal insulation layers the external walls roofs buildings renew heat distribution systems attach renewable sources building’s envelope. To make refurbishment more efficient allow scaling up, a European project...
In the context of changing climate and social development, new buildings need to be adapted conditions they face over their lifetime. The paper presents a newly developed methodology for evaluation resilience buildings, in relation sustainability energy-efficiency. is multi-criteria point system where, individual criteria, building collects positive points. resulting sum determines rating, similar existing performance frameworks, such as SBToolCZ. explains its function by means one criteria.
