THE ADVISABILITY OF APPLICATION OF A UNIFIED ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT TO BUILDING OPERATIONS THROUGHOUT ALL LIFE CYCLE STAGES
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper proposes a method for calculating the environmental impact of constructional materials used in buildings and structures. The method is based on a broader - as compared to the currently accepted assessment pertaining solely to greenhouse gas emissions - approach to environmental impact assessment of building operations and erected structures. As a functional unit, the proposed method employs the maximum single-exposure permissible concentration (MPC) of carbon dioxide in the air of the work zone. This approach enables the assessment of a building’s environmental impact with account to all harmful gas emissions into the atmosphere, expressed in CO2 equivalents. The assessment encompasses all stages of the life cycle. The paper presents the results of surveys of enterprises engaged in manufacture of constructional materials along with a methodology for converting gas emissions into equivalent to CO2 quantities. The analysis of emission calculations reveals that prioritizing CO2 emissions in the latter provides a distorted picture of the manufacture’s burden on the environment. The paper also describes a technology for purifying manufacture emissions from harmful gases as a result of using the methodology to identify the most environmentally damaging areas of manufacture.
