Environmental assessment of façade-building systems and thermal insulation materials for different climatic conditions

摘要: In the European Union, building sector accounts for more than 40% of total energy consumption and environmental impacts, representing area with greatest potential intervention. addition to existing policies that promote efficiency in buildings, embodied impacts contained materials should be considered. case construction insulation facade systems, implications are different depending on type system, used location building. This article aims provide all this information Spain, including not only production components system but also installation phase transport site. The results show most impactful alternative is ventilated combined stone wool expanded polystyrene. Meanwhile, advisable climate zones external thermal any insulation. very different. Moreover, it recommended further studies complete these economic social use maintenance phases robust decision-making.
