Integrate Parameters for LCA - phase construction/refurbishment
Created by: RomainNouvel
Up to know, we've only considered the primary energy and CO2 emissions for the operational phase of the building. More and more urban analyses consider also the "grey energy" and the "embodied carbon" to take some decision.
Here is a proposal discussed with Alessio, to integrate (step by step) the construction/refurbishment phase in our Energy ADE:
In the Construction Module:
- introduction of the new attribute EmbodiedCarbon in the class "SolidMaterial" : optional, measureType (generally kgCO2/m3 or kgCO2/kg), definition : CO2 equivalent emissions caused by the fabrication and transportation on site of the material.
- introduction of the new attribute EmbodiedEnergy in the class "SolidMaterial" : optional, measureType (generally J/m3 or J/kg), definition : Primary energy consumed for the fabrication and transportation on site of the material.
- introduction of the new attribute LifeSpan in the class "Construction" : optional, TimePeriod type (or Time length), definition: Period of service life, including the construction/installation date and the expected end of life.
- introduction of the new attribute LifeSpan in the class "Layer" : optional, TimePeriod type (or Time length), definition: Period of service life, including the construction/installation date and the expected end of life.
In the Energy and System Module:
- introduction of the new attribute LifeSpan in the class "EnergyConversionSystem", "EnergyDistributionSystem" and "_StorageSystem" : optional, TimePeriod type (or Time length), definition: Period of service life, including the construction/installation date and the expected end of life.
