[week 11] LCA comparison

Now the system design options are determined they can be compared with a Life Cycle Assessment.

1. steel

weight
E costs
Steel coated, corrugated 8.60 kg/FE 0.02 (eur/year)
glass wool 150 7.50 kg/FE 0.01 (eur/year)
VAPOUR BARRIER 1.00 kg/FE 0.00 (eur/year)
corrugated steel filling 10.92 kg/FE 0.12 (eur/year)
Steel beam Hea 260 8.35 kg/FE 0.10 (eur/year)
gypsum board 12mm 1.56 kg/FE 0.02 (eur/year)





total 37.93 kg/FE 0.28 (eur/year)

Figure 1, life cycle and sub cycles of steel beams.
1.1 life time

The durable materials will make a longer life of components possible. A technical life of 105 years is realistic with components that last three building uses. The total environmental effects will be divided over this technical life for the effects per year.

1.2 construction strength

If the bay distance is two meter, than 260 mm high beams are sufficient.


1.3 thermal insulation

The 150 mm glass wool results in an Rc value of 4. 1 m2K/W.


2. steel-wood
Wood shingles 2x 9 mm 8.64 kg/FE 0.01 (eur/year)
plate straw 18 8.1 kg/FE 0.01 (eur/year)
glasswool 280 14.00 kg/FE 0.02 (eur/year)
VAPOUR BARRIER 1.00 kg/FE 0.00 (eur/year)
plate corrugated 9.00 kg/FE 0.18 (eur/year)
steel C360/100/38 x 2,5mm 12.21 kg/FE 0.14 (eur/year)



0.00 (eur/year)
total 52.947 kg/FE 0.35 (eur/year)


2.1 life time

disassembling possible for reuse: yes

lifetime: 2 building uses = 70 years

Only the wood shingles should be replaced after one building use.

2.2 construction strength

The steel C profiles are spanning the building every meter.

thickness

2.5 mm


dimensions

C360/100/38 mm


dead+live load

1.5 kN/m2


bending moment

15.2 kNm

< mmax =" 24">

2.3 thermal insulation

The FlexFrame system can fit the criteria if the insulation is thick enough. Because the steel profiles form linear cold bridges of 2.5 mm every meter the thickness of insulation has to be double of the thickness without the cold bridges. Together with 18 mm straw board and wood shingles on top there will be a heat resistance of 4.1 m2K/W.

3 laminated beams

An m2 of roof consists of

EPDM-membrane 1.14 mm 1.41 kg/FE 0.05 (eur/year)
plate straw 18 8.64 kg/FE 0.01 (eur/year)
flax wool 140 7.00 kg/FE 0.02 (eur/year)
FJI joists 4.93 kg/FE 0.03 (eur/year)
Vapour barrier 1.00 kg/FE 0.00 (eur/year)
batters 38x50 /1,2m 0.7125 kg/FE 0.00 (eur/year)
gypsum 1.56 kg/FE 0.06 (eur/year)

25.25 kg/FE 0.17 (eur/year)

3.1 life time

Technically these materials could be reused after 35 years. But this would need more labour than new materials. That is why only one building use is prognosed.

3.2 construction strength

If the bay distance is 0.3 m, than 380 mm high FJI-beams are sufficient.

3.3 thermal insulation

The FJI-beams are negligible as cold bridge. The space in between can be used to place 140 mm flax wool insulation that results in an Rc value of 4. 0 m2K/W.

3 wood joints

4 solid wood
