“…Islam et al (2014) in a study of Australia's typical wall systems, ceramic brick, concrete block and wood closures, concluded that wood closures are responsible for a smaller amount of emissions than the others. Huang et al (2018), in a study on energy incorporated in dormitories of Chinese universities also found that the structures of wood have lower emissions, thus, wood becomes another option for alternative wall systems in Brazil. Figure 8 compares the emissions generated by transport with the total gross emissions of each scenario.…”

Wall systems have a wide range of embodied energy due to the diversity of materials available. This paper analyzes the expenditure of energy and carbon dioxide emissions in internal and external wall systems (IEWS) of a rural residence of social interest in Cascavel, state of Paraná, Brazil. The methodology proposed by NBR ISO 14040 was used to perform a life-cycle energy assessment (LCEA) and the carbon dioxide emissions assessment (LCCO2A) of these systems. Four scenarios were considered: reinforced concrete structure and ceramic blocks wall system, load-bearing masonry with concrete blocks, steel framing and reinforced concrete walls molded on site. As a result, it was found that it is possible to reduce energy consumption up to 25% by opting for reinforced concrete walls molded on site. In regards to CO2 emission, it was verified that the difference is even greater, being able to reduce emissions by almost 32% when opting for this same scenario.

In recent years, with the development of green building and the increase of health awareness, the concept of healthy building has been proposed. Recently, studies have been made on developing healthy residential buildings; however, few attentions have been paid to the development of healthy dormitories. To bridge this research gap, this paper aims to investigate the crucial aspects of developing a healthy dormitory. Based on the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, three influencing aspects which include 17 measurement indicators are identified. Questionnaire surveys are subsequently conducted to collect students’ perceptions on the identified indicators. After a structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis, the relationships between the three influencing aspects are analyzed. The research findings show that building performance, bodily sensation, and humanistic environment must be taken into account in the development of a healthy dormitory. In addition, it is revealed that building performance has a significant impact on bodily sensation, while bodily sensation has a significant impact on humanistic environment. However, building performance is found having little impact on humanistic environment. The findings of this study could provide useful information for the construction of healthy dormitories.

“…Los ACV han señalado que la fase de construcción tiene un impacto que oscila entre el 10 % al 23 % del total, debido principalmente a la cadena de suministro de materiales [25], [28], [23], [29], [30], [7], [8]. El uso de la estructura representa la etapa de mayor impacto, entre un 70 % y un 90 %, causado.…”

A nivel mundial se han adelantado diferentes estudios que revelan los impactos ambientales del sector de la construcción. Estos impactos se asociana los materiales, la maquinaria empleada, las técnicas que se aliquen, a las condiciones geográficas donde se ubique la construcción, y la demanda deenergía y recursos durante su uso. En el caso colombiano, son escasos los estudios de impactos ambientales en el sector de la construcción, y aúnmás escasos en construcciones verticales, lo que motivó la presente investigación centrada en la evaluación de los impactos ambientales de unedificio residencial de doce pisos en Bogotá, D. C., empleando un análisis de ciclo de vida. Este análisis se realiza desde la fase de producción de losmateriales de construcción, transporte, la construcción, el uso y hasta su disposición final, aplicando el método de evaluación de impacto CML- 2015.Los resultados muestran que entre los principales impactos están la AD y el GWP, y que en la etapa de uso es donde se presentan el 97 % del total delos impactos ambientales del edificio, por ser la etapa donde más se consume energía y agua, especialmente asociado a hábitos de consumo.
