What is Life Cycle Analysis of Building Envelopes about?
This document is a thesis submitted by Sherman Authur Matthews to the University of Tennessee in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Master of Science degree in Civil Engineering. The thesis conducts a life cycle assessment comparing the energy use and greenhouse gas emissions of light-frame wood and insulated concrete form building envelopes. It finds that while insulated concrete forms have a higher embodied energy, their improved thermal resistance and reduced air infiltration lead to lower ope
