Klimatpåverkan från svenska renoveringsprojekt : En kvantitativ studie av de potentiella effekterna från produktval, återvinning och återbruk / Climate impact from Swedish refurbishment projects : A quantitative study of the potential consequences of product selection, recycling and reuse

Berglund, Gabriel Bento da Silva January 2023 (has links)
För att minska utsläppen av växthusgaser från bygg- och fastighetssektorn i Sverige finns ett intresse föratt införa krav på klimatdeklarering vid större renoveringsprojekt. Kunskapen om klimatpåverkan frånrenoveringsprojekt är dock inte lika god som för nybyggnation och syftet med detta examensarbete harvarit att bidra med kunskap inom detta ämnesområde. Klimatberäkningar har genomförts för fyrasvenska renoveringsprojekt med målet att beräkna deras potentiella klimatpåverkan samt hur dennaklimatpåverkan kan antas förändras till följd av tre typer av åtgärder; ökad användning avbyggprodukter med lägre klimatavtryck, återvinning av rivningsavfall samt återbruk av existerandebyggprodukter. Beräkningsmetoden har utgått från Boverkets beräkningsmetodik för klimatdeklareringvid nybyggnation samt de europeiska standarderna EN15978 och EN15804. Beräkningarna i dettaexamensarbete har inkluderat emissioner av växthusgaser från materialtillverkning, transport ochbyggspill av nytt material (modul A) samt rivning och hantering av existerande material i byggnaden(modul C). Utöver det har den potentiella mängden sluppen emission av växthusgaser som sker utanförprojektet, till följd av återvinning och återbruk, även beräknats (modul D). Klimatpåverkan från de fyraprojekten beräknades vara 35–184 kg CO2e/m2 renoverad bruttoarea. Minskningar i klimatpåverkan tillföljd av annorlunda produktval var 3–32 kg CO2e/m2 renoverad bruttoarea, och minskningarna fråninternt återbruk av existerande byggprodukter beräknades vara 10–24 kg CO2e/m2 renoveradbruttoarea. Mängden sluppna emissioner utanför projektet beräknades vara som störst då enkombination av externt återbruk och återvinning skedde och var då 15–72 kg CO2e/m2 renoveradbruttoarea. Signifikanta minskningar i klimatpåverkan antas då kunna åstadkommas genom cirkuläraarbetssätt samt annorlunda produktval. Vidare antyder resultaten att denna beräkningsmetodikuppmuntrar till en hög återvinningsgrad av metaller men ej av material såsom betong, glas, gips ochwellpapp. Att redovisa klimatpåverkan från rivning och avfallshantering antas inte heller uppmana tillökat återbruk i någon större utsträckning då denna utsläppsmängd inte förändrades avsevärt till följdav sådana åtgärder. / In order to reduce the greenhouse gas emission from the Swedish construction and real estate sector,there is an interest for introducing mandatory requirements for climate declarations for certainrefurbishment projects. However, the climate impact from Swedish refurbishment projects have notbeen studied as extensively as the impact from new construction, and the purpose of this master thesisproject has therefore been to contribute with knowledge and data to this field of study. As part of thisthesis work, climate calculations have been performed using information from four actualrefurbishment projects with the aim of assessing their climate impact, as well as how this impact changesas a result of certain actions. Three types of actions have been studied: an increased usage of productswith a lower climate impact, an increase in the recycling rate of demolition waste, and reuse of certainexisting products. The calculation methodology is largely based on the methodology specified by theSwedish National Board of Housing, Building and Planning for climate declarations for new buildingsand the European standards EN15978 and EN15804. The calculations include greenhouse gas emissionsfrom manufacturing, transportation, and on-site waste of new materials (module A) as well asdemolition and waste treatment of existing materials (module C). Additionally, the assumed amount ofavoided emissions attained beyond the projects system boundaries, as a result of recycling and reuse,was also calculated (module D). The climate impact from the four projects was calculated to be 35-184kg CO2e/m2 renovated GFA. Reductions in climate impact from choosing more sustainable productswere calculated to be 3-32 kg CO2e/m2 renovated GFA, and reductions from internal reuse werecalculated as being 10-24 kg CO2e/m2 renovated GFA. The amount of avoided emissions beyond thesystem boundaries attained its highest value when both external reuse and extensive recycling wasimplemented and was calculated as being 15-72 kg CO2e/m2 renovated GFA. These results suggest thatsignificant reductions in climate impact can be attained through increased circularity and by choosingmore sustainable products. Furthermore, the results suggest that this method of calculating climateimpacts promotes a high recycling rate for metals but not for materials such as concrete, glass, gypsum ,and cardboard. The inclusion of climate impacts from demolition and recycling seemingly gives littleincentive for reuse of existing materials since those impacts change relatively little as a result of reuse.

Comparative life cycle assessment of organic building materials

Yossef, Delav, Hot, Dino January 2021 (has links)
The ever-increasing awareness of global warming has made the building industry startlooking for alternative building solutions in order to meet the changing demands. Thesechallenges have given rise to organization which aim to go further and construct moresustainable alternatives in the form of Ecovillages. This thesis is conducted in collaborationwith Bysjöstrans Ekoby and aims to investigate what type of organic alternatives exist andhow they perform in building elements.The study was carried out through a comparative LCA where a base case construction forboth roof and wall was established. Followed by comparing different organic materials toeach other and the base case materials in order to determine low-impact materials. The goalwas to replaces as many layers within the structure such as insulation, structure, roofcladding, façade, wind and vapor barrier.This was later followed by combing the materials together in order to identify whichalternative construction options would perform the best in regard to greenhouse gasemissions (CO2 eq kg) and primary energy use (MJ).The results of the study show that the performance or organic materials vary significantly.Whit a lot of materials being better but also worse than traditional materials. It showed thatfor internal wall and roof surface adding clay plater can reduce the GHG emission with 68%, timber frame with 98 %, façade with 43 %, roof cladding with 93 %, vapor barrier with76 % and insulation with 79 %. The best preforming construction option could reduce thebase case emission with 68 %.
