Environment-Friendly Assessment of Passive Apartment House Based on Major Building Materials in Korea

Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to assess environmental friendliness of passive apartment house based on major building materials in Korea. To accomplish this, stage-wise quantity information of life cycle and energy consumption data were established on major materials through theoretical consideration on life cycle assessment. In addition, basic unit database from Korean LCI DB was utilized to assess and analyze characterization value of global warming assessment. As a result, the value of global warming was smaller in passive apartment house in comparison to general apartment house. As the effect of building materials in construction stage was analyzed to be greater than the effect of energy consumption in operation stage, development of diverse building materials taking environmental impact into account is deemed necessary.
