TITLE:
EVALUATION OF CARBON EMISSIONS OF A COMPLETE BUILDING Comparative analysis between design and construction data
KEY WORDS:
carbon emissions, building, life cycle analysis, environmental performance.

BIG AREA: Ciências Sociais Aplicadas

SUMMARY:
This study investigates the embedded Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions (EE) resulting from the construction of a complete building, including the foundation, structure, envelope, internal partitions, and interior finishes. It encompasses the entire process, from raw material extraction (cradle) to the construction process stage (site) of a residential building located in Brasília, DF. For this purpose, the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology was applied, supported by real data obtained initially from the project and subsequently from the construction site. Data from Ecoinvent, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and the Construction Environmental Performance Information System (Sidac) were utilized. Preliminary results indicate that the majority of emissions stem from concrete and steel production. A difference of up to 15% was observed when actual material consumption data from the construction site were compared to the project budget estimates. The research provides a scientific contribution by quantifying the carbon emissions (EC) from the foundation stage, which is typically excluded in LCA studies, and by employing real data that account for the actual consumption of materials. This approach offers metrics to assist in establishing future carbon benchmarks for Brazilian buildings.
