| Abstract |
This research investigates the life cycle energy consumption of the building’s external wall system, and its environmentally potential aspect by utilizing the full scale Life Cycle Assessment. Analyzed per type of the external wall system, the research’s scope has taken account of the entire life-cycle from the extraction of raw materials to its disposal, of which its given sample building type is an office building. Results gained from the LCA of the building’s external wall system as one of the steps in analysis reflect the current global interest and analysis trend toward the world's environmental issue on all fields of industry including the architectural industry. |
