Life Cycle Assessment on CO₂ Reduction of Street House Reuse

Abstract:

To estimate the benefits of reuse building, this study selected 8 street-house cases from ¡§Old House, New Life reuse movement and calculated the average CO₂ emissions of rebuilding and refinishing in their life cycle. The results indicated that the average CO₂ emission is 103.14 kg-CO₂ /m2 before renovation, and 5.73 kg-CO₂ /m2 after renovation. The efficiency of CO2 emission reduction can be raised up to 60% and 70%. If the street houses extend their life span from 60 years to 90 years, the life cycle CO₂ emissions can be reduced from the original 1.89 kg-CO₂ /m²¡Eyr to 1.39 kg-CO₂ / m²¡Eyr. It's advantageous not only to make the best of old houses, but to decrease the environmental load.
