A Comparative LCA Study of a Swedish Multifamily Building-the Primary Energy Use and GWP of Buildings with VIPs and Conventional Insulation Materials
An improved thermal insulation of new and existing buildings is necessary to reach the 20-20-20 targets.This study puts emphasis on comparing the environmental impacts,GWP and total Primary Energy use,of retrofitting a Swedish standard building,with VIPs and conventional insulation.In this study,the spatial properties together with material specifications of the Building Information Model (BIM)are used to calculate the GWP and PE of the materials,both renewable and non-renewable,from cradle-to-gate.Analysis of the results illustrates that the VIPs are a very competitive alternative.Nevertheless,the results prove that the VIPs have a measurable environmental impact caused by product stage and further investigations of the matter must be a part of future work.
