Anwendung einer Lebenszyklusanalyse

What it is about

You will learn how a life cycle assessment (LCA) for buildings is applied: from the basics through software knowledge to the assessment of energy and CO2 balances at the material and component level. In the end you will be able to indicate potentials for reducing environmental impacts and scientifically accurately present an LCA for a specific building.

What you will be able to do

• Basics of life cycle assessment (LCA) reproduce
• LCA results appropriately evaluate
• Analyze energy and CO2 balances
• Understand and evaluate key ecological levers of a building
• Apply calculations in LCA software (eLCA)
• Analyze building structures across all life cycle phases
• Develop optimization proposals for components and materials
• Develop recommendations for ecological optimizations of building design
• Scientifically accurately reproduce a life cycle assessment for a building

What the module consists of

• SeminarFoundations conveyed, application of knowledge to an interdisciplinary project, group work
• GruppenarbeitIndependent handling of a project and development of optimization proposals
• PräsentationPresentation of the developed results

Teaching method

• Input-VorträgeConveying essential foundations for life cycle assessment and life cycle thinking
• Projektbasierte GruppenarbeitApplication of knowledge to a concrete interdisciplinary example project and promotion of interdisciplinary ways of working
• Betreuung durch LehrendeSupport of the group work and guidance on professionally relevant ways of working
