Abstract

In this study, simplified LCA (life cycle assessment) tool was developed to increase accessibility and availability on LCA timber construction. The result of simplified LCA was compared with commercial program on LCA (Simapro.7) to verify its availability. As a result of evaluating environmental impacts with the Life Cycle Inventory of all processes, gap between LCA and simplified LCA tools of timber construction was about 1%. Therefore, the simplified LCA tool could analyse greenhouse gas emissions of timber construction and to expand number of data set through improved conveniency of users for developing database of timber construction in Korea. The reduction effects of greenhouse gas emissions of timber construction was about 53% of total emission offset up to construction phase. The results of this study would support decision making process to expand to timber construction policy to showcase environmental friendliness of timber construction. It was expected to contribute to response to the New climate regime in forestry.

본 연구에서는 목조건축 전과정평가의 접근성과 활용성을 높이고자 간이 전과정평가 툴(simplified LCA)을 개발하고 이를 검증하기 위하여 전과정평가(LCA) 상용프로그램(Simapro.7)과의 비교를 수행하였다. 전과정목록을 바탕으로 환경영향을 평가한 결과, 대상 목조주택 1동의 전과정평가 결과와 간이 전과정평가 툴의 결과는 약 1% 정도로 나타났다. 따라서, 간이 전과정평가 툴을 통한 목조건축의 온실가스 배출량 분석이 가능할 것으로 판단되며, 사용자 편의를 기반으로 사례추가를 통한 국내 목조건축 환경영향 데이터베이스 구축에 이용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다. 또한 목조건축 건설에 따른 온실가스 저감효과는 시공단계까지 온실가스 배출량의 약 53%를 상쇄하는 효과를 가지는 것으로 평가되었다. 본 연구결과는 목조주택의 친환경적 이미지 제고를 통한 목조주택 보급확대 정책을 지원할 수 있는 근거로써 임업분야 신기후체제 대응에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
