“…Tal como se ha indicado, este trabajo se enmarca en una línea de investigación que vincula el diseño del elemento arquitectónico a su influencia en la minimización de su impacto medioambiental en todas las fases de su ciclo de vida (Gómez de Cózar, 2019).…”

“…Nosotros planteamos, sin embargo, que dichas propiedades de: ligereza, transformabilidad y rápida respuesta, permiten superar el concepto de elemento accesorio, y convertirse en elementos complementarios al objeto a proteger, especialmente en situaciones transitorias, frecuentes en la actividad arqueológica. Esto puede lograrse gracias a sus cualidades de fácil desmontabilidad, reciclabilidad y escasa huella (Gómez de Cózar et al 2019).…”

Es conocido que uno de los retos del trabajo arqueológico, es el de evitar o reducir los efectos del llamado "trauma de excavación", donde la modificación acelerada de condiciones higrotérmicas, junto al efecto de la radiación solar, altera las condiciones de equilibrio del objeto soterrado. Esto lleva a la necesidad de cobertura de yacimientos arqueológicos durante la excavación, realizada frecuentemente mediante sistemas fijos o desmontables más propios del mundo productivo o industrial, de alta huella ecológica, y con efecto limitado, garantizando en su mayoría únicamente situaciones de sombra. No obstante, entendemos que es posible dar una solución global desde la arquitectura a los numerosos requerimientos del objeto excavado, tales como: necesidad de coberturas con mínimos apoyos, coberturas ligeras de gran adaptabilidad a la evolución de la excavación, limitación de costes, o necesidad de control de las condiciones higrotérmicas del espacio cubierto mediante procedimientos limpios que minimicen el impacto medioambiental.

The methodologies adopted for LCA of leather processing or products usually involve "Cradle to Grave" (the whole leather production process), "Cradle to Gate" (some stages in the production process), and "Cradle to Cradle" (the whole leather production process, waste treatment, and recycling) approaches.…”

Life cycle assessment (LCA) was applied to compare environmental impacts of a chrome tanning system (CTS) using basic chrome sulfate (Cr), a chrome-free metal tanning system (CFMTS) using complexes of highly oxidized starch and Al−Zr (HOS−AZ), and a metal-free tanning system (MFTS) using oxidized sodium alginate (OSA). The preparation processes of Cr, HOS−AZ, and OSA were first evaluated by LCA to make the life cycle inventory available for their tanning systems. Life cycle impact assessment results showed that Cr, HOS−AZ, and OSA were the most significant substance factors in their tanning operations. The tanning operation was the main contributor to the environmental impacts of a tanning system followed by retanning and fatliquoring operations. The environmental impacts on resource consumption and climate change presented CTS > CFMTS > MFTS, while those on ecosystem quality and human health were comparable. The MFTS is a more sustainable tanning system for leather production. This work provides basic data support for the ecological design of leather products and gives new insights into the LCA of complex leather processing systems.

“…In addition, well-executed conservation practice may reduce life-cycle CO 2 (LCCO 2 ) emissions as energy efficiency is improved [15][16][17][18]. Nonetheless, when conservation practice focuses on structural strengthening as well as the protection of cultural value, environmental impacts may not be paid sufficient attention to [19][20][21][22]. When projects aim to improve structural safety and control environmental impacts at the same time, they may require additional costs [23].…”

The present paper discusses the applications of life-cycle assessment (LCA) to construction works in Japan. LCA has been frequently used to assess the environmental impacts of new construction. Nonetheless, the applications of LCA to restoration have not been fully confirmed to date. It is said that historical buildings may contribute to sustainable development. Nonetheless, as for heritage buildings, since the protection of cultural value is usually prioritised, their environmental impacts may not be sufficiently explored. To this aim, this paper evaluated the environmental impacts of the restoration of heritage buildings. This paper consisted of two tasks. First, the restoration projects of heritage buildings in Japan were introduced. The restoration of two heritage houses was discussed, referring to heritage protection legislation in Japan. Second, LCA was performed on the restoration of heritage houses and the construction of contemporary houses. Environmental impacts were compared between the restoration and new construction with regard to greenhouse gas emissions and operational energy use. A focus was given to the amount of materials used. Restoration consumes a limited amount of materials compared to new construction, although the energy use of heritage buildings is considerable. The environmental impacts of restoration were quantified so that they were compared with those of new construction. The comparison indicated issues applying LCA to heritage buildings.
