ENSLIC - Energy Saving through Promotion of Life Cycle Assessment in Buildings.
A project within the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) programme. Duration 30 months, finishing in March 2010. Coordinator: Ms Sabina Scarpellini, CIRCE Zaragoza Spain, e-mail: sabina@unizar.es, phone: +34-976-761863. Website: www.enslic.eu . We are currently working with our case studies in respective country.
Abstract: This action seeks to achieve energy saving in the construction and operation of buildings by promoting the use of life cycle assessment techniques in design for new buildings and for refurbishment. The project aims to draw on the existing information generated from previous research projects regarding: design for low energy consumption, integrated planning, environmental performance evaluation of buildings, design for sustainability and LCA techniques applied to buildings. The output which will be compiled with the collaboration of key target groups will be a set of guidelines with a methodology which clariefies the various aspects of the LCA, e.g. purpose, benefits, requirements, flexibility and different techniques. This will be applied to real buildings by a number of collaborating target groups who have already expressed their interest. The results will be disseminated to a wide target group through multiple channels and the potential for energy saving highlighted.
