Analysis Of Life Cycle Environmental Impact For Residential Building In Bangladesh.

ABSTRACT This paper will show the environmental impact of a building from its construction phase to the end of its life i.e. demolition. Here mainly the emission of CO2 is taken into consideration. As the global warming is most serious issue for environment we are very much concern about the emission of CO2 from different industries. However emission from a building for its entire life cycle is seldom taken seriously. Since there huge number of building in modem city like Dhaka if possible any reduction in CO2 emission will make a great contribution to reduce overall CO2 emission and compare use of brick chips and stone chips. This thesis categorically estimates the CO2 emission from various building plans for its entire life which hopefully help us in guiding the reduction of CO2 emission form a building. Two 6 storied residential building in Dhaka has been analyzed with stone and brick chips of same area of construction. The environmental impact for a 60 years life time has been calculated.
