Global construction industry has a huge influence on world primary energy consumption, spending, and greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. To better understand these factors for mass timber construction, this work quantified the life cycle environmental economic performances of high-rise building in U.S. Pacific Northwest region through use life-cycle assessment (LCA) cost analysis (LCCA). Using TRA...

Cel artykułu/hipoteza: Koncepcje zarządzania ryzykiem w przedsiębiorstwie ewoluują czasie pod wpływem gwałtownych zmian, zachodzących zarówno otoczeniu zewnętrznym, jak i wewnętrznym. Tradycyjne podejście do ustępuje miejsca filozofii holistycznego ryzykiem. Celem opracowania jest analiza tych dwóch koncepcji kątem ustalenia aktualnej roli praktycznego znaczenia metody ubezpieczeniowej. W oprac...

A comparative LCA is made to valuate the environmental implications of six scenarios of biowastes management in Barcelona, one of them consists of a traditional controlled landfill, in which the 54% of biowaste is disposed directly without any previous treatment, for the rest of the scenarios, a controlled landfill by rectangular baling-wrapping technology is considered. Then the consumption of...

W XXI wieku na sile zaczęły przybierać migracje wewnątrz obszarów metropolitalnych, głównie z miast centralnych do stref podmiejskich oraz wyludnianie się peryferyjnych. Po 2004 r. wyraźnie wzrosły rozmiary emigracji Polski, jak również zwiększyła liczba krajów, których Polacy zaczęli wyjeżdżać, a w ostatnich kilku latach obserwujemy przewagę imigracji nad emigracją. Celem niniejszego opracowan...

In this work, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology is used to examine implications of CO2 capture from a natural gas combined cycle power plant with post-combustion carbon (NGCC-CCS) in Iraq, taking into account two different design scenarios. first scenario (retrofit), unit considered as an end pipe technology that can be linked existing plant. The second considers grassroots design, wh...

The objective of this paper was to quantify and compare the environmental impacts associated with alternative designs typical North American low mid-rise buildings. Two scenarios were considered: a traditional structural steel frame or an all-wood mass timber design, utilizing engineered wood products for both gravity lateral load resistance. boundary quantitative analysis cradle-to-grave consi...

Today, life cycle assessment (LCA) is the most widely used approach to model and calculate environmental impacts of products processes. The results LCAs are often said be deterministic, even though real-life applications uncertain vague. uncertainty, which may simply ignored, one key factors influencing reliability LCA outcomes. Numerous sources uncertainty in classified various ways, such as p...

In the context of a low environmental impact energy mix, embodied building materials can account for up to 46% building's life cycle over 50-year service life. Fifty percent this corresponds combination structure and envelope. While most studies have compared different residential systems or wall assemblies, study aims quantify contribution initial impacts assemblies' exterior walls an office i...

The historical parallels, complementary roles, and potential for integration of human health risk assessment (RA) and Life-Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) are explored. Previous authors have considered the comparison of LCA and risk assess­ ment recognizing the inherent differences in LCA and risk assessment (e.g., LCA’s focus on the functional unit, and the differences in perspective of LCA and...
