Abstract

The building sector consumes about 30% of primary energy worldwide. Life span is an important variable in life cycle assessment (LCA) of buildings. The aim of this study is to make the LCA of containers constructed in a refugee camp in Turkey and to investigate the relationship between life span and consumed energy with CO2 emission values. The proposed model in the study focused on the construction phase of the containers to find energy consumption and emissions for different life span years. Life span years are chosen between 5 and 40 years. Energy and CO2 release factors are defined per square meter. Total life cycle construction and operational energy demand of the post-disaster housing is calculated to be 24.7 GJ/m2. The CO2 intensity of the housing is calculated to be 20.39 kg CO2/m2-year. It is found that energy and emission values are decreasing with the increase of life span of container-type houses constructed in refugee camps in Turkey.
