“…Estimation of energy flows of residential building system 4.2.1. Energy use in the phase of building materials preparation Based on the data of energy consumption in relevant researches conducted in China and Europe (Josa et al, 2004;Chen et al, 2007;Gielen and Moriguchi, 2002;SFB, 2005;Koroneos and Dompros, 2007;Schuurmans et al, 2005), we got the energy use of different constructive materials (see Table 6). Then, the total energy use for 100 m 2 of residential buildings during this phase is shown in Table 7.…”

“…The use of local renewable resources would also increase energy independence in Latvia, thus reducing dependence on imported gas. The total energy consumption to produce one ton of bricks is by 140 kWh (which is 24%, respectively) less than to produce one ton of bricks in Greece [12] where pet-coke and diesel is consumed.…”

-The building material manufacturing sector is one of the sectors with the highest consumption of fossil fuel resources. The "cradle-to-gate" study of the ceramic bricks made in the Āne plant of JSC Lode, Latvia, is performed according to ISO standards 14044:2006. Life cycle inventory data have been collected at the factory site. Three different perspectives of the "Eco-Indicator'99" method are used to conduct an environmental characterization of the building materials to obtain the total impact indicator.

“…In Portugal, a brick factory reported that natural gas consumption represented 98% of the total energy consumption [39]. Koroneos and Dompros [40] calculated the energy consumption in a Greek brick manufacturing process, with pet-coke being the main energy source with almost 100% of the total energy consumption. The manufacturing process of a Thai ceramic tile consumes 62% of liquefied petroleum gas (propane and butane), 24% of electricity and 14% of furnace oil [41].…”

Abstract-his paper exposes the current negative environmental impacts that have been identified in various stages of ceramic production in Northeast Brazil, through the extraction of clay, the generation of solid residues, the extraction of native vegetation for burning, and emissions into the atmosphere. A representative factory was studied, located in the municipality of Guarabira (Northeast Brazil). Although the area is developing economically, some stages of the process are not being accomplished in a way that ensures the sustainability of the activity in the environment. The pressing need for an optimized and environment-friendly ceramic production has triggered research on the production process and alternative methods. The environmental impacts observed were described herein, and a Life Cycle Assessment was carried out to quantify the carbon footprint associated with the productive process of the factory.
