LCA REPORT SAMPLE BUILDING LONDON UK Bionova Ltd
LCA REPORT: SAMPLE BUILDING, LONDON, UK Bionova Ltd, 23 January 2017
About LCA: an environmental impact scorecard LCA allows you to get a holistic picture of the performance that helps avoid sub-optimization and provides a scientific basis for environmental impacts. Conduct of LCA follows international standards and certification guidelines. LCA can be carried out for eco-design or for achieving certification credits. Life-cycle assessment, LCA CO 2 e + other impacts Materials and construction Construction > 1 year Life-cycle cost, LCC $/€/£ Use phase: repair and replacement Use, 60 years (mostly) Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance Demolition End of life 2
Background and description of the study This LCA study has been prepared according to the below description for the specified purpose. It’s not representing a comparative statement. Any comparison will have to be prepared considering functional equivalence. Parameter Answer Object of the study Sample LCA building, London, United Kingdom Function and area Office, providing 800 workplaces over 9400 square meters Client for the study Sample customer Purpose of the study Earning certification credits for system X LCA practitioner John Doe, Bionova Ltd Delivery date 23 January 2017 Input data sources Architectural BIM model drafted in Revit Scope of LCA Required scope for system X LCA software One Click LCA, www. oneclicklca. com. LCA data sources One Click LCA database; primarily EN 15804 compliant EPDs Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 3
Input data used for the Life-Cycle Assessment The primary data source for the LCA was an architectural BIM model created with Revit. The dataset was completed by adding the foundations and key building technology elements to the model. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 4
LCA results for the project: result table The table below shows the life-cycle assessment results for the project in all considered impact categories and life-cycle stages. Note: calculation follows the scope, exclusions and inclusions of the X rating system/standard. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 5
LCA results for the project: carbon footprint The project’s total life-cycle carbon footprint for the scope in consideration is XXX tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), or, xx kg of CO 2 e per conditioned room area m 2 per annum over the life-cycle of 50/60 years. The below pie chart shows the constitution of the impacts. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 6
LCA results for the project: by life-cycle stage The below chart shows the relative contribution of each life-cycle stage towards the total of project life-time impacts in each impact category. This shows how the impacts accrue from a stage to another in all categories. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 7
LCA results for the project: impact hot-spots The below hot-spot view shows which parts of the building are responsible for a significant share of the overall impacts in different impact categories. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 8
E US R FO Project design alternatives: narrative LE ED Baseline design: The baseline building represents a typical office building of 9400 m 2 as constructed to the actual site. It has a steel-concrete frame and glass facade. Floors are cast on site from ready mix concrete. The foundation is overall of a ready-mix C 37/40 concrete. Insulation is using rockwool. Proposed design: The proposed design has similar shape and structure as the baseline design, but differs on the following points: - Floors are cast on site using a deltabeam anchoring, reducing thickness - Foundations are optimized based on technical requirements using a variety of concrete strenght classes - Roofing is optimized and uses a recycled roofing material - Insulation material is a specified environmentally manufactured material All calculations use same dataset and calculation methods. All service lives are based on the manufacturer’s declared product service lives. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 9
US E Project design alternatives: percentage change R FO ED Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance LE The below comparison shows the relative performance of contrasted design alternatives compared. The comparisons are between the two designs and calculated as difference in % from the latter design. 10
US E Project design alternatives: visual comparison R FO LE ED The below comparison shows the relative performance of different design alternatives compared to the worst performing alternative in each impact category. In other words, the design with the lowest line has the lowest impact. Confidential 2009 Your partner for sustainable performance 11
