Analysis of Biowaste-Based Materials in the Construction Sector: Evaluation of Thermal Behaviour and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Abstract The objective of the work is to evaluate thermal behaviour and environmental impact selected building biowaste-based materials, mainly biomass from agrowaste. An evaluation state art materials used waste or in construction buildings carried out. are based on data availability: hemp concrete, isotex, bricks with olive core flour (OCF), wheat straw (WS). Subsequently, evaluated as a function decrement factor, time lag an application envelope building. Finally, life cycle assessment each material out, including calculation following indicators: non-renewable energy, cumulative energy demand global warming potential. Hemp concrete isotex better (lower factor greater lag) like conventional but lower impact. Regarding bricks, mixtures 8% OCF 7%WS generate more stable indoor temperatures than 4% 3%WS.
