Construction industry

• Responsible for nearly 50% of natural

resources consumption.
• Buildings are responsible for nearly 40% of
energy consumption in EU.
• Embodied energy in building is nearly 15%
to 20% of building life cycle energy
consumption.
• Construction industry is responsible for
nearly 40% of generated waste, 450 million
tons in EU, 180 million tons excluding road
and excavations works.
• Buildings are responsible for 17% of water
consumption.

Case study: dwelling in Lisbon

From the 50 years LCA, above 100 mm of wall thermal insulation, the embodied energy
is higher than the expected avoided energy consumption.

In summer the measurements reveal an indoor

temperature to low compared with the reference
value of 25ºC!
Occupant behavior, information is required to
achieve sustainable buildings
