Abstract

Energy consumption by occupants during utilization phase concerns the increase of global warming potential and a shortage of energy resources. Energy consumption in an effective way decreases the risk of global warming. Use of materials with high embodied energy and embodied carbon in building components may improve the energy performance of the building, but it can ameliorate global warming. The issue of Life Cycle is quite new in the Middle East, so is it effective or does it work in developing countries. One of the goals of this study is to use three different wall types in a two-story office with close embodied energy and U-value (overall heat transfer coefficient) and compare the performance of each wall in the building from the Life Cycle point of view. Subsequently, analyzing the importance of other factors such as embodied carbon and transportation in choosing appropriate material in the construction sector. According to this study, even in countries like Iran (‘‘which holds the world's fourth-largest proved crude oil reserves and the world's second-largest natural gas reserves’’) with very low amount of database about the embodied energy, the right material should be chosen to reduce the fuel consumption and CO2 emission.   Key words: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), office, embodied energy.
半干旱地区办公楼的生命周期优化
居住者在使用阶段的能源消耗涉及全球变暖潜力的增加和能源资源的短缺。能源消耗以一种有效的方式降低了全球变暖的风险。在建筑构件中使用具有高内含能和内含碳的材料可以提高建筑的能源性能,但可以改善全球变暖。生命周期问题在中东是一个很新的问题,它在发展中国家有效吗。本研究的目标之一是在一个两层办公室中使用三种不同的墙类型,具有紧密的体现能量和U值(总传热系数),并从生命周期的角度比较建筑中每面墙的性能。随后,分析了其他因素(如内含碳和运输)在建筑行业选择合适材料方面的重要性。根据这项研究,即使在伊朗这样的国家(“拥有世界第四大探明原油储量和世界第二大天然气储量”),关于所含能源的数据库数量非常少,也应该选择合适的材料来减少燃料消耗和二氧化碳排放。关键词:生命周期评估(LCA),办公室,内含能量。
