COMPARING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS OF BUILDINGS WITH ECO-BAT
This paper presents the features of Eco-Bat, a computer program developed to assess the environmental impacts of buildings, including construction materials and energy consumed, during its life cycle. The methodology used to evaluate environmental impacts based on a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach, compatible with ISO 14040 standards, is detailed. The data are mainly extracted from Ecoinvent (Anon A). Two applications are presented to illustrate the possibilities offered by Eco-Bat. The first one is a comparison of different variants of building fa(c)ades. The second example shows the analysis of a whole building including its energy consumption.
