Presentation Transcript
- 1.MIT Research: Life Cycle Assessment of Residential Buildings
- 2.MIT Concrete Sustainability Hub $10 million investment over 5 years Funded equally by RMCREF & PCA NRMCA providing technical support and guidance NRMCA and state associations to play a critical role in the technology transfer
- 3.Goals Identify areas in which concrete excels Identify opportunities for improvement Create solid technical basis for future industry development Social Environment Economic Sustainable
- 4.3 Research Platforms
- 5.Concrete Science Platform: Mission Scientific breakthroughs toward reducing CO2 footprint of cement and concrete Strength with less material Lower energy processing Chemical stability
- 6.Building Technology Platform Mission: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Concrete Buildings and Pavements to Identify Impacts and Opportunities Research Topics: Material Flow Analysis LCA of commercial buildings LCA of residential buildings LCA of pavements LCCA of building materials
- 7.Residential Buildings ResidentialBuildings: 21% CommercialBuildings: 19% Transportation: 31% Industry: 29% Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- 8.Methodology Standardized LCA methodology critical Increase consistency of LCA MIT proposes good practices for LCA
- 9.Methodology Transparency of data Define scope Identify system boundaries Define functional unit
- 10.Transparency
- 11.Life Cycle Perspective
- 12.Functional Unit
- 13.Structural Systems Considered Insulated Concrete Forms (ICF) Traditional Wood Framing
- 14.Benchmark Single Family Building Phoenix Chicago 2 stories 2,400 ft2 ICF Wood
- 15.Benchmark Multi-Family Building Phoenix Chicago 4 stories 33,763 ft2 ICF Wood
- 16.Structures 2 stories Single Family 4 stories Multi-Family
- 17.Energy Modeling 60 YEAR
- 18.Benchmark Analysis CO2 equivalent Resources Water Global Warming Potential Ozone Depletion Acidification Eutrophication Smog Formation Human Toxicity Eco Toxicity Waste Land Use
- 19.Weight of Materials(lbs/sf2)
- 20.Embodied Emissions
- 21.Thermal Mass Benefits
- 22.Annual Energy Use Intensity (Chicago)
- 23.Annual Energy Use Intensity (Phoenix)
- 24.Impacts The GWP of the ICF house in is approximately 6%-10% lower than the light-frame wood house. Over a 60-year life cycle, the lower (5%-8% for single family, 4.4%-6.2% for multifamily) operating GWP outweighs the initially equal or higher embodied GWP for ICF buildings.
- 25.Impacts
- 26.Impact Reduction - Air Tightness
- 27.Other Impact Reductions ICF - 6 in core to a 4 in core Increasing SCM (such as fly ash) from 10% to 50%. Can decrease pre-use GWP by 12-14%
- 28.Life Cycle Cost Analysis
- 29.Life Cycle Cost Compared to light-frame wood, ICF $2.36-$4.09/ft2 ($25-44/m2) of wall area higher in Chicago -$0.08 to $4.15/ft2 (-$1 to $45/m2) of wall area in Phoenix Over the total life cycle cost, however, ICF construction increases the price of a house by less than 5%.
