Abstract

This study aims to determine whether or not the input output life cycle assessment (I-O LCA) model can be used to assess the carbon dioxide (CO2) emission of buildings in initial planning phase. To ensure this end, this study proposed I-O LCA model which is the simplified LCA model and Hybrid LCA model which is the detailed LCA model, and then assessed and compared the CO2 emission of six case projects (three apartment complexes and three educational facilities) using the two LCA model. The results of the case study showed that the CO2 emissions assessed by the I-O LCA is significantly similar to the CO2 emission assessed by the Hybrid LCA model. The similarity of results from both LCA models was 78.2-86.3% in apartment complexes and 59.9-84.8% in educational facilities. However, the CO2 emissions from I-O LCA model were smaller than the CO2 emissions from Hybrid LCA model in case study. Nevertheless, the case study showed that the I-O LCA model was capable of assessing the CO2 emission of buildings quite appropriately although the I-O LCA model is the simplified LCA model which considers only the construction cost. The I-O LCA model is expected to be a useful tool for assessing the CO2 emission of buildings in initial planning phase.

본 연구는 기획단계에서 건축물의 이산화탄소 배출량 평가에 개략평가모델인 I-O LCA 모델의 활용 가능성을 파악하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여, I-O LCA 모델과 Hybrid LCA 모델을 정의하고, 두 LCA 모델을 이용하여 아파트 3개 단지와 3개 교육시설물에 대한 이산화탄소 배출량을 평가하고, 결과를 비교하였다. 사례분석 결과, I-O LCA 모델을 통해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량은 Hybrid LCA 모델을 통해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량과 상당히 유사하였다. 아파트 단지의 경우 78.2-86.3%의 유사도를 나타내었고, 학교 건축물의 경우 59.9-84.8%의 유사도를 나타내었다. 하지만, 전반적으로 I-O LCA 모델에 의해 산출된 이산화탄소 배출량은 Hybrid LCA 모델의 결과에 비해 작았다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 사례분석 결과는 총공사비를 유일한 입력요소로 하는 간단한 모델인, I-O LCA 모델이 상당히 높은 정확도를 가진다는 사실을 보여주었다. I-O LCA모델은 프로젝트의 초기 기획단계에 건축물의 이산화탄소 배출량을 예측하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.
