3 Life Cycle Assessment methodology

3.1 About Life Cycle Assessment for construction industry As businesses, governments and consumers develop environmental awareness and sensitivity, focus of environmental impact reduction shifts to the industries responsible for the greatest impacts. Construction, maintenance and use of buildings and civil engineering works generate ca. 35 % of the carbon emissions globally. Furthermore, the industry is responsible for one half of raw material extraction, and very significant amount of mass replacements and transfers. The sector is not only requested to reduce the impact on global warming, but also to reduce the raw material depletion, especially for non-renewable materials via circular economy measures. Life Cycle Assessment is a science-based methodology for measuring environmental performance. It’s based on international standards and rigorously defined public methodologies for quantifying environmental impacts, expressed in form of potential harm caused by activities to the biosphere, including atmosphere, soil and water bodies. Those impacts are expressed as “equivalent to” normalized unit, for example, one kilogram of carbon dioxide in case of global warming potential. Life Cycle Assessment considers the whole life cycle of the building, including manufacturing, transport, use and final disposal of the resources required for the delivery of the building functions for the whole period which the assessment covers. Most common impact category covered by LCA is the global warming potential, also referred to as the carbon footprint. It quantifies the impact of greenhouse gases heating the planet. Other common impact categories are ozone depletion, acidification, eutrophication and smog formation. LCA methodology also supports other indicators which describe the use of resources and energy. Those are more typically expressed as kilograms of material, or megajoules in case of energy.

3.2 Applicable International and European Standards All building and civil engineering works Life Cycle Assessments delivered by One Click LCA platform comply with the following International Standards. ISO 14040 Environmental management. Life cycle assessment. Principles and framework ISO 14044 Environmental management -- Life cycle assessment -- Requirements and guidelines ISO 21930 Sustainability in buildings and civil engineering works -- Core rules for environmental

product declarations of construction products and services One Click LCA platform tools used in European context comply with following European Standards: EN 15978 Sustainability of construction works – Assessment of environmental performance of

buildings – Calculation method EN 15804+A1 Sustainability of construction works. Environmental product declarations. Core rules

for the product category of construction products


3.3 System boundary The International Standard ISO 21930 and European Standard EN 15804 set out a common life-cycle model for building and construction works. The life-cycle model includes modular definitions for the life-cycle stages, allowing each stage to be compared in isolation with other projects. The product stage information (A1-A3) is always represented combined for building level assessments, as are end of life stages (C1-C4) in most cases. Depending on the purpose of the LCA, other stages may be omitted or be replaced with a scenario in absence of detailed information. The actual life cycle stages used in the report can be found in the LCA results in chapter 1.

Illustration: Building Life Cycle Information and life cycle stages


3.4 Methodology and impact categories LCA results are obtained using methodology called characterisation, which describes environmental impact of a given emission. One Click LCA implements multiple characterisation methodologies. When no specific methodology is mandated, One Click LCA implements for European customers the CML 4.1. IA characterisation methodology (as set out in EN 15804+A1), and for North American customers the TRACI 2.1. methodology defined by United States Environmental Protection Agency.

Impact category Unit(s) Description

Global warming potential

kgCO2 eq Describes changes in local, regional, or global surface temperatures caused by an increased concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning is strongly correlated with acidification & smog. Called “carbon footprint”.

Acidification potential

kgSO2 eq Describes the acidifying effect of substances in the environment. Substances such as carbon dioxide dissolve readily in water, increasing the acidity and leading to damage to water ecosystems.

Eutrophication potential

CML: kgPO4-eq TRACI: kgNeq

Describes the effect of adding mineral nutrients to soil or water, which causes certain species to dominate an ecosystem, compromising the survival of other species and sometimes resulting in die-off of entire animal populations.

Ozone depletion potential

kgCFC11eq Describes the effect of substances in the atmosphere to degrade the ozone layer, which absorbs and prevents harmful solar UV rays from reaching Earth’s surface.

Formation of ozone of lower atmosphere (“tropospheric”)

CML: kgC2H4eq TRACI: kgO3eq

Describes the effect of substances in the atmosphere to create photochemical smog. Also known as summer smog.

Other impact categories follow the requirements of their respective certification systems or tools.


4 Analysis scope, data sources and assumptions

4.1 Scope applied for this study The scope of this study has not been pursued in an attempt to secure any specific environmental certification, but instead as a Life Cycle Assessment of the building as-built, including structure and envelope materials for the whole building for a 60 year duration in an attempt to reflect on the project as a whole to see in what aspects the building succeeds, and what principles could be more strongly prioritised in future projects. The scope also includes operational energy usage.

4.2 Data sources The analysis has been performed relying on the following data sources for building information:

Data type Data source

Material quantities (A1-A3)

Construction drawings, bills of quantities and BIM models as delivered by the client and the designers acting on the clients behalf.

Material transport distances (A4)

Regionally applicable transportation scenarios from One Click LCA. Those represent regionally typical transportation distances and methods for product types, which are relevant when no decisions on suppliers are made.

Construction and installation (A5)

Impacts are based on conservative default values from One Click LCA.

Material impacts in use (B1-B5)

Material service lives are based on the typical values for the materials in question, which have been reviewed for relevance for the project. The values have been adjusted where necessary. Material maintenance and repair activities have not been included in the scope, materials have been assumed to be replaced in their entirety at the end of their service life.

Use phase energy consumption (B6)

Impacts are based on actual energy bill usage over a 12 month period.

Use phase water consumption (B7)

Impacts are omitted from this analysis.

End of life impacts (C1-C4)

End of life impacts are based on One Click LCA’s scenarios which represent the typical end of life processing for material types in compliance with the requirements of the EN 15804+A1.

6 Summary and recommendations

6.1 Summary and interpretation of the results In reflection of the above results, we can see where Welcome to the Jungle House has succeeded in some respects, and where we can make observations for our own reference for future projects. As this is our first project assessed under an LCA, we deliberately started with a project that has already been built, to understand how our current practices sit in a carbon-footprint framework. Without an established Australian benchmark for a single-home residential building carbon-footprint to compare to, some research was done into what a ‘typical’ Australian house could be conservatively estimated at. A study sourced through eTool by Richard Haynes from 2010 (revised 2013), estimated a standard 4-bedroom, brick veneer home to be approximately 199t CO2-e. Assuming a standard 225sqm gross-floor-area for a 4 bedroom home, this equates to approximately 884kg CO2-e / m2 . In comparison, Welcome to the Jungle House has a total environmental impact of 105t CO2-e, (48% below average), and a per square metre rate of 567kg CO2-e / m2 (36% below average). It should be noted that the project studied is a 3-bedroom home, so comparing to a ‘typical’ 4-bedroom home may not be the most suitable metric. The per square metre rate is a more just basis for comparison, as this creates a metric that can be compared between projects that may have different floor sizes or programmatic requirements. One of the successes of the project is the minimal operational energy usage, using on average approximately 32kWh/day, which makes up only 8% of the total CO2-e over a 60 year period. With the photovoltaic façade panels, the reduced grid-consumption of energy means the building’s carbon impact from energy consumption is greatly minimized. In looking at the distribution of material usage and the weighting of each for the total embodied carbon emissions, some factors become apparent that should be taken into consideration for future reference. Special consideration should be given to steel, particularly structural steel members in ensuring the total environmental impact of the building is as small as possible. Sourcing steel with a high recycled content and potentially using structural timber over steel where possible could see a reduction in the total CO2-e of the project. Fibre cement sheeting is also one product that has a high weighting in terms of environmental impact, particularly as it will need to be replaced and maintained over the 60 year period. Alternative cladding materials should be considered where possible. During the process of conducting the LCA, we also learned that some of the materials used, such as the solid-surface Corian product used extensively in one of the bathrooms, was in fact a highly unsustainable product made from some of the same raw extracted materials that aluminium is made from. Overall, the building is a success in terms of low embodied energy, and in providing us information to what materials and strategies have had a positive effect on the overall environmental impact of the building, and where we should be cautious in specifying materials going forward.
