Life Cycle Carbon Emission Assessment for a Residential Building
The processes of a building construction evolve emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) into the atmosphere. The contextual analysis of building processes consolidated four kinds of phases to execute the investigation are materialization, transportation, operational and demolition phases. This paper suggests a building assessment calculation of carbon emissions equivalent (CO2-eq) through life cycle analysis method. As a case study residential apartment building situated in Ernakulum city, India is considered for the estimation of life cycle carbon emissions. Embodied carbon coefficients are extracted from inventory of carbon and energy (ICE) database. The results show selected residential building accounts for about a total carbon emissions equivalent of 0.727 tCO2-eq/m2. Cement contributes highest CO2-eq. This building assessment method in this study is essential to comprehend point by point carbon emissions profiles to promote low carbon building construction. Main significance of this study is that materials that produce high amount of embodied carbon is identified and should be optimized whilst constructing new buildings. The outcome of this study provides an insight on framework analysis for optimizing carbon emissions in the future.
