A data-driven approach to analyse embodied emissions from buildings in the context of LCA of Zero Emission Neighbourhoods

Babakhani, Amir Hosein (Master thesis, 2021)

The building sector is responsible for more than one-third of the global GHG emissions and consequently, climate change. As the result of the Paris agreement and the initiatives for reducing GHG emissions, the building ...

A Database Tool for Systematic Analysis of Embodied Emissions in Buildings and Neighborhoods

Resch, Eirik; Andresen, Inger (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)

There is a growing body of research on the embodied emissions of individual buildings, but the results and methods remain mostly inaccessible and incomparable due to insufficient reported information, and differences in ...

An analytical method for evaluating and visualizing embodied carbon emissions of buildings

Resch, Eirik; Lausselet, Carine; Brattebø, Helge; Andresen, Inger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

Greenhouse gas emissions associated with buildings constitute a large part of global emissions, where building materials and associated processes make up a significant fraction. These emissions are complicated to evaluate ...

Assessment of GHG emissions from materials during building design - Methods for improved reliability and quality

Resch, Eirik (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2021:15, Doctoral thesis, 2021)

Construction materials in buildings contribute significantly to climate change. Globally, nations have committed to drastic reductions of greenhouse gases (GHG), among them Norway which has committed to 50-55% reduction ...

BRIDGING RE-USE MAPPING DATA WITH THE LCA OF REUSABLE BUILDING COMPONENTS

Moaddeli, Niloufar (Master thesis, 2024)

Byggebransjen bidrar betydelig til globale klimagassutslipp, med nesten 37 % av utslippene tilskrevet bygninger, og en vesentlig del som stammer fra produksjonsfasen. Til tross for betydelig avfall som genereres, ligger ...

Current Challenges of Urban Energy Planning in a Norwegian Municipality

Resch, Eirik; Andresen, Inger (Chapter, 2017)

Transitioning urban areas into sustainable communities is an important part of combating the current energy and emission challenges facing the world. The Norwegian municipality of Oslo has set ambitious energy and emission ...

Embodied emission profiles of building types: Guidance for emission reduction in the early phases of construction projects

Resch, Eirik; Brattebø, Helge; Andresen, Inger (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

The embodied emissions of the construction materials in buildings are a significant contributor to climate change but have only rarely been systematically studied by statistical methods. In the early phases of a building ...

Estimating dynamic climate change effects of material use in buildings — Timing, uncertainty, and emission sources

Resch, Eirik; Andresen, Inger; Cherubini, Francesco; Brattebø, Helge (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)

Material use in buildings affects the climate over centuries, however, temporal aspects are often ignored in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Results too often promise uncontested precision of impacts occurring far into the ...

ExploreLCA – A Web Application for Exploring Systematised Life Cycle Assessments of Buildings

Veliyulin, Eric (Master thesis, 2021)

Denne studien presenterer ExploreLCA, en webapplikasjon for utforskning av systematiserte livssyklusanalyser (LCA) av bygninger funnet i building LCA database (bLCAd)-verktøyet. bLCAd-verktøyet er en MySQL-database for ...

Exploring the Integration of Embodied Carbon Assessment in Architectural Design: An Analysis of Current Practices

Rasmussen, Ingrid (Master thesis, 2023)

Materialene som brukes til bygninger står globalt for ca. 28 % av de årlige karbondioksidutslippene i byggesektoren. Sporing av disse innebygde karbonutslippene i et byggeprosjekt gjøres ved å gjennomføre en livssyklusvurdering ...

FutureBuilt Zero - A simplified dynamic LCA method with requirements for low carbon emissions from buildings

Resch, Eirik; Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth; Tellnes, Lars G. F.; Andresen, Inger; Selvig, Eivind; Stoknes, Stein (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)

FutureBuilt ZERO metodebeskrivelse

Resch, Eirik; Andresen, Inger; Selvig, Eivind; Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth; Tellnes, Lars G. F.; Stoknes, Stein (Research report, 2020)

FutureBuilt ZERO introduserer kriterier for netto klimagassutslipp over hele byggets levetid. Kriteriene strammes gradvis inn over tid for å bidra til at Norge når sine klimamål. FutureBuilt ønsker å best mulig insentivere ...

GHG emission requirements and benchmark values in Norwegian building codes

Wiik, Marianne Rose Kjendseth; Selvig, Eivind; Fuglseth, Mie Sparby; Resch, Eirik; Lausselet, Carine; Andresen, Inger; Brattebø, Helge; Hahn, Ulla (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)

As a response to the Paris agreement, Norway is committed to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50 percent by 2030. Highly energy-efficient buildings have a greater proportion of embodied GHG emissions from material ...

A holistic model for analyzing energy benefits of urban density by relating energy use, building height, and overall city structure

Resch, Eirik (Master thesis, 2016)

More than half of the world population live in cities, and the urban population is further expected to almost double within 2050. This opens a rare window of time for realizing energy savings through overall city planning. ...

Impact of urban density and building height on energy use in cities

Resch, Eirik; Bohne, Rolf André; Kvamsdal, Trond; Lohne, Jardar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)

Compact cities have been attributed to lower per capita energy use. However, the complexity of relationships between the elements that constitute energy consumption in the urban system is poorly understood. Little or no ...
