“…Cumulative EMI Singgora roof tile repair is calculated (using equation no. 8) within cradle-to-site boundary of LCA (“before” use stages, encompassing processing and manufacturing as well as during “use” stages, involving transportation processes), and the arbitrary period is ∑EMIyears (Kayan, 2013, 2020).…”

“…For the purpose of this paper, stronger preference was given for UK's embodied carbon coefficient and emissions factors data. Both UK and Malaysia fairly have similar power generation, manufacturing processes technology, feedstock energy and temporal representativeness (Kayan, 2013, 2020).…”

“…Kayan (2013, 2020) expounded that the quality of carbon LCA is universally influenced by main criteria/common parameters comprising system boundaries, analysis methods, geographic location, primary and delivered energy, age of data, and completeness of data. For examples, Hoxha (2020) and Nouri et al (2021) had investigated how quality of adopted LCA in measuring of embodied CO 2 emission is influenced by different construction materials, building type and function as well as the regional context.…”

“…Maintenance of heritage buildings is embedded within main building conservation legislative frameworks; such as the World Heritage Convention (UNESCO, 1972), Venice Charter (Venice Charter, 1964), 2013 ICOMOS's Burra Charter (ICOMOS, 2013; Forster and Kayan, 2009; Kayan, 2020), and the United Kingdom’s (UK's) Planning Policy Guidance Note 15 PPG (Kayan, 2013). Heritage buildings’ maintenance can be defined as repetitive and predictive works/intervention carried out in order to preserve and sustain historic fabric and structures (Forster et al , 2011).…”

“…Hence, this highlights the need to reduce embodied carbon expenditure and mitigate CO 2 emissions (Kayan, 2013, 2019). Moreover, there is a pledge and prime concern upon the adoption of environmental maintenance impact (EMI) evaluation and carbon life cycle assessment (LCA) during the maintenance phase (Kayan, 2015, 2020). Thus, this paper aims to present an EMI evaluation through the application of a carbon LCA for achieving sustainable Singgora roof tiles repair in heritage buildings.…”

PurposeHeritage buildings are consistently impacted by technical and pathological issues associated with their maintenance and conservation such as diminish of building's authenticity and damaging environmental impact. This paper aims to evaluate the environmental maintenance impact (EMI) of the Singgora roof tiles repair in heritage buildings. The EMI is an evaluation upon embodied carbon expenditure during maintenance phase, thus important in repair efficiency appraisal.Design/methodology/approachCalculation procedures within selected boundaries of life cycle assessment (LCA) and arbitrary period enabled evaluation of the EMI of Singgora roof tiles repair in heritage buildings during the maintenance phase.FindingsEvaluation of the EMI could be appreciated as a carbon LCA of Singgora roof tiles repair and has been recognised in embodied carbon expenditure reduction in the form of CO2 emissions mitigation. Importantly, the evaluation underpins decision-making for heritage buildings repair.Practical implicationsEMI evaluation encompasses all building types and forms, thus comprehends the associated applied methodologies. Moreover, the evaluation reflects the emerging environmental challenges of sustaining resilient buildings globally.Social implicationsEMI evaluation highlights options that may be adopted in repair. Indirectly, this implicates heritage building preservation and place's identity protection. Significantly, the evaluation supports environmentally focused conservation and promotes a sustainable repair approach.Originality/valueEMI evaluation of this paper may devoted to the holistic understanding of the complex relations between Singgora roof materials and their environmental performance. Meanwhile, the application of a carbon LCA had dictated integration of multidisciplinary of heritage buildings maintenance and conservation.

Restoration of historical buildings contributes to the preservation of history and identity of the cities, but also, in the current climate crisis, an alternative solution to reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector, which is one of the main global contributors to green-house gas emissions and waste production. It can be also claimed that the most sustainable building is the one that has already been built. An important aspect to consider for the restoration of built heritage is the use of compatible materials, such as lime-based mortars, that should be preferred over cement. However, their slow setting and hardening (via carbonation), and, in some cases, poor durability prevent their full acceptance and widespread use. One course of action is to improve the quality of the binder via an innovative approach: inclusion of natural organic additives during the slaking process of CaO. This is expected to have a higher impact than their inclusion in the mortar’s mix design. In the present work the analysis of the growth of Ca(OH)2 crystals following their crystallization in the presence of micro- and nano-cellulose is studied, together with the morphological changes that these additives induce on portlandite crystals. Moreover, the study of the carbonation kinetics of the modified portlandite crystals gives insights on the effect that these additives have on the quality of the binder. The promising results highlight the potential of micro- and nano-cellulose as sustainable additives for lime-based binders. Furthermore, these additives can be obtained from industrial wastes, promoting a circular economy.
