Methodology
The study was conducted in different stages. The selection of the building which has all the details about the materials, construction phase and operation phase available was important. The residential building chosen was an independent house in Wayanad, Kerala which has first hand data available for most of the phases and that was a major consideration considering the pedigree matrix. The second stage was the data collection which included BOQ, construction drawings, Operation data, transportation data and data from literature for standard values, conversion factors, etc. In the third stage calculations were done for the energy and carbon dioxide emission with reasonable assumptions made at each stage. The results were represented as graphs and tables for better understanding and inferences were drawn.

Material Embodied Energy
2.1.1.
Scope
In LCA of any project, the materials used will play an important role in determining the total energy used. ‘Cradle to Gate’ approach is followed here, which considers the total energy used in extraction of raw materials, transportation to factories, processing and manufacture of finished goods and also its packing. The data followed here are from the “Inventory of Carbon and Energy” of University of Bath.
• General and common materials used for construction were considered. • Materials quantified were used for the construction of building only.
2.1.2.
Limitations
• Due to unavailability of structural drawings, steel reinforcement quantity had to be assumed. • Materials used for landscaping and other exterior works were not considered. • Percentage wastages were taken from unverified sources. GROUP 9

Assumptions
• • • • • • • • • •
Bond mortar had a thickness of 15mm with CM 1:6 Bricks, floor tiles and mortar quantity increased by 5% to account for wastages. Volume of steel increased by 5% to account for hooks. For each bend of stirrup, 3% increase in length was considered. For slab reinforcement,15 cm c/c distance was considered between bars. Reinforcement diameter of steel for, Lintel main bars = 12mm Stirrups = 8mm Slab main bars = 16mm For mangalore pattern tiles an overlap of 5cm from roof and 10% wastage is considered. Additional 10% of granite quantity was taken for skirting. • Approximate lengths of PVC pipes were taken from the plan of the building
2.1.4.
Observations
• From the materials considered, laterite has the major portion of contribution of embodied energy. This is due to the larger volume used in construction of substructure and superstructure. • The envelope made of laterite contributes high embodied energy as the quantity used is very high in the construction of substructure as well as the superstructure. • Steel comes second although cement is the used in large quantities for construction. • Primers and paints have significant embodied energy though the volume of material used is less. Thus it is recommended to not use paints if the architectural beauty of the existing building without paint is good. • Considering the carbon footprint, laterite holds a largest share followed by cement eventhough there is significant difference in the quantities used. • Steels comes third due to its high carbon emission in production. • It can be inferred that the three materials which contributes maximum to the embodied energy are the enveloping material, cement and steel. • Although having less value per unit for embodied energy and carbon emission, due to the volume of usage the enveloping material contributes heavily to both embodied energy and carbon emissions.

Transportation
The energy for transportation of materials from respective factories to the distribution point and from the distribution point to the construction site was considered. Carbon footprint is high for fossil fuels and it is necessary to analyse how much CO² has been emitted just for transporting the material to the site. This depends on the vehicle used also. The truck capacity, its mileage and the number of trips required will all decide the total carbon footprint and its energy associated with. It is always recommended to choose the locally available materials if it meets the purpose and required quality. GROUP 9

Onsite Construction
2.3.1.
Scope
The amount and intensity of construction activities will decide the amount of energy that has been used and the quantity of CO2 that has been emitted. The following ‘Work Breakdown Schedule’ shows the types of works that have been done to construct the whole building. Considering the geographical area and traditional construction practices, only few equipment which runs on fuel are considered like concrete mixers, site clearing equipments and vibrators. For rest of the construction practices manual labour is highly employed.
• Whole construction activities are limited to common construction mechanical equipments. • Equipments considered are used for constructing the main structure only. • Energy required for importing power for construction activities was not considered.
2.3.2.
Limitations
• Authenticity of data from independent sources.
2.3.3. • • • • • •
Assumptions
Backhoe loader is used for site clearance, levelling and excavation Grasscutter is used to remove shrubs. Site is assumed to be more or less with very less trees of medium girth. Concretes were made cast-in-situ with hopper concrete mixers Concrete needle vibrators of 20mm are used. Rest all methods use labour energy
2.3.4.
Observations and Inferences
• As the equipments considered are very few, the total energy is construction phase is not so significant in this case. • Much of the energy is consumed for transportation of people from and to the construction site. This is well in agreement with the papers referred. • The energy consumed is proportional to the usage hours and hence concrete mixers have a higher energy consumption the needle vibrators.

Operation
From various literatures that have been referred, operational or use phase consumes more energy than any other phase. The various equipments, its electricity consumption, usage hours, usage pattern, number of residents etc. will affect the energy consumed. For the analysis we have included a set of commonly used equipments as per the geographical region and also by collecting the data from nearby houses. Electricity bills, water bills and Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) consumption was also collected from the owner of the considered house. This was then correlated with the energy data available to find out the total energy consumption.
2.4.1.
Scope
• Study is limited to the listed equipments used. • Power consumption of equipments were taken from manufacturer’s data.
2.4.2.
Limitations
• Data of usage pattern • No. of occupants of house were not taken

Assumptions
• Kinds of equipments used. • Working hours GROUP 9

Observations and Inferences
• Considering only the types of energies used, electricity is the major component, followed by LPG and then water. • Considering the equipments used, water heaters use more energy than any other equipments. This is because of the the local climate as it will be cold and cloudy at the place most of the time. • Airconditioner is not among the prominent used equipment due to the climate and hence doesnt consume much energy. • Refrigerator is a common equipment in most of the houses in Kerala, and it will be working for most of the time than any other equipment. Hence it consumes higher energy.

Maintenance
Maintenance is an inevitable phase if the structure has to be durable for a long time. Maintenance includes both the frequent maintenance and the major maintenance or renovation works. In this analysis, due to the unavailability of legitimate data for frequent maintenance, we have analysed the energy requirement for major renovation works and assumed its frequency as mentioned below.
2.5.1.
Scope
Major renovation works are considered
2.5.2.
Limitations
Frequent maintenance energy was not considered. Maintenance frequency may change with the quality of construction and use patterns.
2.5.3. • • • •
Assumptions
Painting is done once in 10 years Wooden window frames were replaced every 25years Flooring tiles were changed once in 25 years Roofing tiles were changed once every 10 years
2.5.4.
Observations and Inferences
• The whole part of maintenance phase is based on assumptions that major renovation works will be required after a certain number of years of service. • Though the floor tiles are changed only once during the service life, it still consumes the largest share of energy. • Wood, though is replaced only once, consumes very less energy.

End of Life
Most of the research papers that have been referred don’t consider demolition energy as authentic data is not available for the same. Demolition using modern equipments and techniques is not a common practice in the geographical area considered. Hence the commonly used equipments like concrete breaker and demolition hammer is considered here. The demolition is assumed to be done after 50 years of the life of building.
2.6.1.
Scope
• Common equipments used in the region was considered
2.6.2.
Limitations
• Unavailability of data for demolition works led to more assumptions.
2.6.3.
Assumptions
• Demolition hammer was used for 32 hours • Concrete breaker was used for 20 hours • Rest demolition works used labour energy GROUP 9

Energy Calculations
Concrete Breaker • hours used = 20 • Power consumed = 40KWh = 144MJ Demolition Hammer • hours used = 32 • Power consumed = 48KWh = 172.8 MJ Truck • Total volume of materials = 210.6m³ • Capacity of truck = 32.5m³ • Distance to landfill = 15km • No. of trips = 14 (Including ‘to’ and ‘fro’) • Mileage = 6.5kmpl when loaded and 10 kmpl when loaded • Total diesel used = (7*15/6.5)+(7*15/10) = 26.65l • Total energy used = 6.65* 35.9 = 956.87MJ • Total CO2 emitted = 26.65*2.64 = 70.36kgCO2 TOTAL ENERGY USED = 1273.67MJ
2.6.5.
Observations and Inferences
• The largest share of energy is being consumed for transporting the demolition waste to the landfill, though the landfill considered is just 15kms away from the site. • Among the demolition equipments used, demolition hammer consumes more energy and this is due to the more hours of usage and also the power consumed per hour.
3. Tally Simulation The TALLY simulation was done to understand the impact of the Life Cycle of the residential building on the environment. Tally is a plugin for the BIM software Autodesk Revit. With the construction, and transportation data provided and materials assigned for each building component, the software simulates the impact assessment and provides a report and a compiled excel file. The different steps involved in the process of creating Tally report is explained below.
GROUP 9
14
CE5014 | SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION
2018
• The first step is to develop a detailed 3D model with all the details and appropriate materials assigned. This is done in REVIT architecture template.
Figure 17: LCA analysis using BIM
• The next step is to assign different tally materials into the revit categories. The database for the materials in tally are already inbuilt in the software.

• The third step in the process of tally evaluation is that the details of energy consumption during the construction process and maintenance phase has to be provided to the software. The standard based on the region of the building also should be provided into the software. But, since India is not available in the list of region option provided, Singapore was chosen since the climate is warm humid. This assumption has caused variations in the results obtained since the energy consumption standards are higher in Singapore compared to India.

• The final step is to run the simulation and export the data into the report and excel. The details provided with the photo of the building from the revit model is also included in the report.

Observations and inferences
The tally study showed that the the global warming potential and the primary energy demand are most for the operation phase. This may be because of the standards considered for the study, which is based on the Singapore energy standards. The materials like Laterite and clay tiles were not available in the material catalog available, so comparable materials are considered which has caused changes in the energy calculations.

Results
The Life Cycle Assessment of the residential building showed that the embodied energy of this building is lower than many other residential buildings like apartments. The main reason for this is the usage of laterite for the masonry construction, since the burnt bricks have more embodied energy compared to even cement. According to the study, the operational energy of the building for a life cycle of 50 years will exceed the construction and embodied energy in 60 years. This may be because of the fact that the operation energy is low. The climate of Wayanad is very pleasant and thus need of AC and fans are very less. The end of life demolition energy is very less because the landfill is nearby the site itself. This is depending on the location of the residence. For 50 years of service life: 16,22,839.36MJ/200m²/50years = 162.28 MJ/m²/year.

Figure 21: Comparison of energy for various phases
Figure 22: Comparison of CO2e emissions for various phases
Comparing the embodied energy and carbon dioxide emission of this residential building to the C2 apartment case study, the embodied energy is lower for the present study. This may be attributed to the fact that laterite stone is used for the masonry construction. The operation energy is comparable to the apartment operation energy. The demolition energy is also less compared to the apartment in the city of Chennai as the distance to the landfill is very less (ie. 15km). This energy and emission is very low than the data given in the literature which is 1% to 3%.

Sensitivity Analysis
The sensitivity analysis was done to understand the effect of each phase of the life cycle of the building for the different life of building. The operation and maintenance energy varies for different life periods. The graph is plotted between the percentage energy contribution of initial embodied energy and the operation energy. The major concern is the life of the building at which the initial embodied energy which is the sum of the material embodied energy and the energy spent during the on-site construction process. From this analysis its understood that the operation energy oversets the initial embodied energy at age of 60 years. This is more than the age of the building. This may be attributed to the fact that due to the climatic conditions of the area the requirement of indoor conditioning is very less compared to the normal literature cases. GROUP 9

Full Building Impact Study
Calculation Methodology Studied objects The life cycle assessment (LCA) results reported represent either an analysis of a single building or a comparative analysis of two or more building design options. The single building may represent the complete architectural, structural, and finish systems of a building or a subset of those systems, and it may be used to compare the relative environmental impacts associated with building components or for comparative study with one or more reference buildings. Design options may represent a full building across various stages of the design process, or they may represent multiple schemes of a full or partial building that are being compared to one another across a range of evaluation criteria. Functional unit and reference flow The functional unit of a single building is the usable floor space of the building under study. For a design option comparison of a partial building, the functional unit is the complete set of building systems that performs a given function. The reference flow is the amount of material required to produce a building or portion thereof, and is designed according to the given goal and scope of the assessment over the full life of the building. If construction impacts are included in the assessment, the reference flow also includes the energy, water, and fuel consumed on the building site during construction. If operational energy is included in the assessment, the reference flow includes the electrical and thermal energy consumed on site over the life of the building. It is the responsibility of the modeler to assure that reference buildings or design options are functionally equivalent in terms of scope, size, and relevant performance. The expected life of the building has a default value of 60 years and can be modified by the practitioner.
Maintenance and Replacement [EN 15978 B2-B4] encompasses the replacement of materials in accordance with the expected service life. This includes the end of life treatment of the existing products, transportation to site, and cradle-to-gate manufacturing of the replacement products. The service life is specified separately for each product. Operational Energy [EN 15978 B6] is based on the anticipated energy consumed at the building site over the lifetime of the building. Each associated dataset includes relevant upstream impacts associated with extraction of energy resources (such as coal or crude oil), including refining, combustion, transmission, losses, and other associated factors. For further detail, see Energy Metadata in the appendix. End of Life [EN 15978 C2-C4, D] is based on average US construction and demolition waste treatment methods and rates. This includes the relevant material collection rates for recycling, processing requirements for recycled materials, incineration rates, and landfilling rates. Along with processing requirements, the recycling of materials is modeled using an avoided burden approach, where the burden of primary material production is allocated to the subsequent life cycle based on the quantity of recovered secondary material. Incineration of materials includes credit for average US energy recovery rates. The impacts associated with landfilling are based on average material properties, such as plastic waste, biodegradable waste, or inert material. Specific end-of-life scenarios are detailed for each entry.
Data source and quality Tally utilizes a custom designed LCA database that combines material attributes, assembly details, and architectural specifications with environmental impact data resulting from the collaboration between KieranTimberlake and thinkstep. LCA modeling was conducted in GaBi 6 using GaBi databases and in accordance with GaBi databases and modeling principles.
System boundaries and delimitations The analysis accounts for the full cradle-to-grave life cycle of the design options studied, including material manufacturing, maintenance and replacement, eventual end-of-life, and the materials and energy used across all life cycle stages.

Manufacturing [EN 15978 A1-A3] encompases the full product stage, including raw material extraction and processing, intermediate transportation, and final manufacturing and assembly. The manufacturing scope is listed for each entry, detailing any specific inclusions or exclusions that fall outside of the cradle-to-gate scope. Infrastructure (buildings and machinery) required for the manufacturing and assembly of building materials are not included and are considered outside the scope of assessment. Transportation [EN 15978 A4] between the manufacturer and building site is included separately and can be modified by the practitioner. Transportation at the product’s end-of-life is excluded from this study.
methodology applied on a study serving as a data source; and geographical, temporal, and technological representativeness. The GaBi LCI databases have been used in LCA models worldwide in both industrial and scientific applications. These LCI databases have additionally been used both as internal and critically reviewed and published studies. Uncertainty introduced by the use of proxy data is reduced by using technologically, geographically, and/or temporally similar data. It is the responsibility of the modeler to appropriately apply the predefined material entries to the building under study. Tally methodology is consistent with LCA standards ISO 14040-14044 and EN 15978:2011.
On-site Construction [EN 15978 A5] includes the anticipated or measured energy and water consumed on-site during the construction installation process, as entered by the tool user.

Glossary of LCA Terminology Environmental Impact Categories
The following list provides a description of environmental impact categories reported according to the TRACI 2.1 characterization scheme. References: [Bare 2010, EPA 2012, Guinée 2001]
kg SO₂ eq Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
Acidification Potential (AP)
A measure of emissions that cause acidifying effects to the environment. The acidification potential is a measure of a molecule’s capacity to increase the hydrogen ion (H⁺) concentration in the presence of water, thus decreasing the pH value. Potential effects include fish mortality, forest decline, and the deterioration of building materials.
kg CFC-11 eq
A measure of air emissions that contribute to the depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer. Depletion of the ozone leads to higher levels of UVB ultraviolet rays reaching the earth’s surface with detrimental effects on humans and plants. Smog Formation Potential (SFP)
kg O₃ eq
Ground level ozone is created by various chemical reactions, which Eutrophication Potential (EP) kg N eq occur between nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and volatile organic Eutrophication covers potential impacts of excessively high levels of compounds (VOCs) in sunlight. Human health effects can result in a macronutrients, the most important of which are nitrogen (N) and variety of respiratory issues including increasing symptoms of phosphorus (P). Nutrient enrichment may cause an undesirable shift bronchitis, asthma, and emphysema. Permanent lung damage may in species composition and elevated biomass production in both result from prolonged exposure to ozone. Ecological impacts aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. In aquatic ecosystems increased include damage to various ecosystems and crop damage. The biomass production may lead to depressed oxygen levels, because primary sources of ozone precursors are motor vehicles, electric of the additional consumption of oxygen in biomass power utilities, and industrial facilities. decomposition.
Primary Energy Demand (PED) MJ (lower heating value) kg CO₂ eq A measure of the total amount of primary energy extracted from A measure of greenhouse gas emissions, such as carbon dioxide the earth. PED is expressed in energy demand from non-renewable and methane. These emissions are causing an increase in the resources (e.g. petroleum, natural gas, etc.) and energy demand absorption of radiation emitted by the earth, increasing the natural from renewable resources (e.g. hydropower, wind energy, solar, greenhouse effect. This may in turn have adverse impacts on etc.). Efficiencies in energy conversion (e.g. power, heat, steam, etc.) ecosystem health, human health, and material welfare. are taken into account.
