Life cycle energy analysis of buildings: An overview

This review summarizes and organizes the literature on life cycle assessment (LCA), life cycle energy analysis (LCEA) and life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) studies carried out for environmental evaluation of buildings and building related industry and sector (including construction products, construction systems, buildings, and civil engineering constructions). The review shows that most LCA and LCEA are carried out in what is shown as “exemplary buildings”, that is, buildings that have been designed and constructed as low energy buildings, but there are very few studies on “traditional buildings”, that is, buildings such as those mostly found in our cities. Similarly, most studies are carried out in urban areas, while rural areas are not well represented in the literature. Finally, studies are not equally distributed around the world.

Cement stabilised rammed earth (CSRE) is used for the construction of buildings, especially load-bearing walls. Thinner (<300 mm) CSRE walls are prone to lateral bending before collapsing due to slenderness effects under concentric and eccentric compressions. The paper presents results of an investigation dealing with influence of slenderness and load eccentricity on compressive strength of CSRE walls. CSRE walls of slenderness 10 and 14 were tested for compressive strength by varying load eccentricity between 0 and 1/3rd of the wall thickness. Lateral deflections were monitored across the height of the walls. The results show that the compressive strength of the walls reduces with increase in slenderness and load eccentricity.

What is the scope and responsibilities of design? This work partially answers this by employing a normative approach to design of a biomass cook stove This study debates on the sufficiency of existing design methodologies in the light of a capability approach A case study of a biomass cook stove Astra Ole has elaborated the theoretical constructs of capability approach, which, in turn, has structured insights from field to evaluate the product Capability approach based methodology is also prescriptively used to design the mould for rapid dissemination of the Astra Ole
