A parametric tool for the assessment of operational energy use, embodied energy and embodied material emissions in building

The net zero energy building definition may be further expanded by applying a life cycle perspective, whereby the primary energy used in the building during operation plus the

Previous studies that assess both embodied GHG emissions and operational energy use in Norwegian buildings include a study on lessons learnt from embodied GHG emission calculations

While the original study used generic material data, the sensitivity analysis of embodied emissions utilizes specific material data found in Environmental Product Declarations

In SmartGuide, SINTEF Energy Research has developed a tool which can use smart meter data from an actual customer to create a load profile and model the change in

The three energy systems are evaluated based on the annual energy use and annual emissions during building operation (Table 7). The energy use considers the delivered

Emissions embodied in materials that are used for replacements for buildings, open spaces, networks and on-site energy (PV panels) are represented with emission peaks at

Nygaard Rasmussen, “International Energy Agency Evaluation of Embodied Energy and CO2eq for Building Construction (Annex 57) Subtask 4: Case studies and recommendations for

The report describes the calculation methodologies; including operational energy performance, embodied greenhouse gas emissions (including the emissions from transport of
