Abstract |
The purpose of this research is to develop method and tool that are available to quantitatively estimate CO2 exhaust and energy consumption for buildings. This research provided the method for estimating environmental load of buildings and composed database of energy consumption unit and CO2 emission unit outputted by input-output analysis. This paper focused on the composition of LCA program(K-LCA program) for buildings. This program has Base Information sheet, A Unit of Environmental Load sheet and Energy Consumption sheet about the amount of materials and energy consumption, Data Base sheet for CO2 emission unit, Inventory Analysis sheet for LCA results. The results show CO2 emission intensity and energy consumption per area(㎡) according to analysis period. The result of case study show that sample apartment had CO2 emission : 1,112 kg-CO2/㎡ and energy : 29,749 MJ/㎡ for life cycle(25 year). |
