Life Cycle Assessment of AAC Blockwork

The document presents a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of AAC Blockwork and a residential building over a 50-year life span, detailing raw material extraction, transportation, production processes, and end-of-life phases. It includes specific quantities of materials used, distances for transportation, and energy consumption for both AAC production and building operations. The assessment utilizes OpenLCA software and follows a cradle-to-grave system boundary with TRACI v2.1 impact assessment method.
