Douglas Kenny Building : a life cycle assessment
This report outlines the study done on the Douglas Kenny building using Life Cycle Assessment for a cradle to gate analysis. The building structural system is primarily concrete, with steel stud interior walls. It was concluded that the Kenny building has similar environmental impacts to comparable buildings on UBC campus built with similar materials, per square foot of floor area. In comparison however, its impacts are much higher than that of wood frame, and concrete frame with wood studs, with the exception of the ozone depletion potential impact category. The primary energy consumption of the Kenny building for manufacturing and construction is approximately 28,832,000 Mega Joules, seven other summary measures were used to asses impact and are described in the preceding report. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the building with the conclusion that the addition of concrete will add the most environmental impacts, with rebar addition also showing significant impacts, information which may have been useful during construction, or possibly a renovation. An energy model was performed on the Douglas Kenny building using the R value of the exterior wall assemblies, and roofs, to model heat loss. It was found that with the addition of insulation materials the buildings energy consumption over a 50 year life span, including manufacturing and construction, can decrease by one third.

Furthermore readers should bear in mind that these reports may not reflect the current status of activities at UBC.
