Climate impact of housing companies - a hybrid LCA approach

摘要: The study estimates greenhouse gases generated by suburban housing companies with the use of a hybrid LCA model where IO-LCA methodology is used together process data. aim research was to learn which activities associated generate most gases, as well whom emissions could be diminished. In addition, applicability life cycle assessment approach company context tested in study. A case residential area from Helsinki studied. All within share same property manager and energy provider. Consequently, comparable consumption data (both economic metric) available for analysis. first phase analysis utilizes an input-output (EIO)-LCA developed Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). With model, relationships between different can established, allows climate effect taken into more detailed review. This combined method, expanded data, described tiered approach. confirms that heating significant contributor derived housing. Furthermore, infers portion impact residents derive companies, limiting potential individual affect impact.
