This literature review addresses the Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA) of residential
buildings. As the fluctuation in the choice of functional units, boundaries of the system, life …

Energy consumption of buildings is at the forefront of the total energy consumption list, and
its environmental impact is increasing, thus making construction industry as a key player in …

This study compares the environmental impacts of earthen plasters (based on clay) with
those of conventional industrial plasters (based on cement or hydraulic lime) from a life cycle …

The life-cycle assessment method, which originates from general products and services, has
gradually come to be applied to investigations of the life-cycle carbon emissions (LCCE) of …

There is a strong consensus that carbon emissions attributed to buildings are a major
contributor to global warming. Reducing buildings' carbon emissions becomes a matter of …

ABSTRACT A wider deployment of nearly zero energy buildings (NZEBs) is expected to
contribute to the transition to a decarbonized and energy-efficient building sector in Europe …

The impact of different hybrid timber building construction on three different categories
namely: environment, economic and social is analyzed in this research. Five types of hybrid …

In construction, the focus of research and policy on sustainability broadened from reducing
the energy consumption of a building in use, to a comprehensive sustainability strategy …

The energy crisis in the 1970s led to increasingly stricter building codes, resulting in the
currently required nearly zero-energy buildings. Nonetheless, the energy saving potential of …

Purpose A detailed assessment of the environmental impacts of the building requires a
substantial amount of data that is time-and effort-consuming. However, limitation of the …
