Outline of Final Research Achievements

Conduction international comparison about resource consumption to buildings, and it also analyzes energy consumption and CO2 emissions associated with building construction. It is clarified that evaluated value of embodied energy and embodied CO2 of buildings.
Some office buildings and houses were assessed to obtained embodied energy and embodied CO2 associated with building construction, and detailed analysis and simple analysis were conducted considering building process boundary and building component boundary. It is also conducted that the evaluate buildings. It is clarified the degree of the error between detailed and simple analysis. Energy intensities and CO2 intensities data of main building materials and components were prepared and these data will support to consider how to create buildings with low environmental impact and high economic effect from design stage.
