Study on the Development of the Life Cycle Assessment Program in the Apartment Housing

공동주택 전과정평가 프로그램(SUSB-LCA ver1.0) 개발에 관한 연구

The environment is the important resource to use as well as to conserve for the development. Since 1990s, it has accentuated the importance of the environment and tried to conserve the environment in many areas. Among many area, the building industry has played a role to destruct the environment for providing the living decent space and brought the environmental affect. Therefore, the building industry should endeavor to mitigate the environmental affect. In building life cycle, it consumes the energy and natural resources. But it is difficult to evaluate the environmental affect during the whole building life. It is impossible to calculate the environmental affect without the much time and effort. Therefore. it requires the easy and handing program to calculate the affect to environment in each building life cycle. Until now, many program for assessing the affect to the environment have been developed and limitedly used because of the assessment scope and contents. In this paper, it aimed at developing the assessment program of LCA, focused on the energy consumption and carbon-dioxide emission compared with the domestic and foreign concerned programs. The developed program is divided into 3 areas; construction, maintenance, demolition.
