本研究は、UCLニュー・スチューデント・センターの全建物LCAを実施し、実施工KPIデータを統合することで、設計意図と実性能のギャップを明らかにした。運用エネルギーが気候変動影響の73%を占め、初期炭素が26%を占める。設計段階のエネルギー予測と実測値の間に195%の差異があり、これは想定外の24時間365日利用パターンに起因する。また、改修シナリオでは新築比45%の初期炭素削減が可能であることを示した。
English
This study conducts a whole-building LCA for UCL's New Student Centre, integrating construction KPI data. Operational energy accounts for 73% of climate impacts, with embodied carbon at 26%. A 195% performance gap exists between design-stage predictions and actual metered consumption due to unanticipated 24/7 occupancy. A retrofit scenario shows 45% lower embodied carbon vs new construction.

📄 Abstract(原文)
Achieving net-zero carbon in construction requires robust, data-driven Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). This study presents a comprehensive whole-building LCA for University College London’s BREEAM ”Outstanding” New Student Centre, integrating real-time construction Key Performance Indicator (KPI) data to bridge sustainable design intent with verified performance. Using the EN 15804+A2 methodology, the cradle to grave assessment identifies operational energy use as the dominant contributor, responsible for 73% of total climate change impacts, with embodied carbon constituting a significant 26% (stages A1–A5). Material impacts were primarily driven by the 17,000-tonne precast concrete superstructure; however the use of concrete with 61% GGBS reduced cement-related emissions by approximately 40% compared to a CEM I (100% Portland cement) reference mix. The study further reveals a 195% performance gap between design-stage energy predictions (CIBSE TM54) and actual metered electricity consumption, attributable to unanticipated 24/7 occupancy patterns that were not reflected in design-stage energy modelling. A comparative retrofit scenario underscores the value of building adaptability, demonstrating 45% lower embodied carbon relative to the new construction scenario. To ensure assessment accuracy, the research develops and applies a hybrid material quantification methodology for MEP life cycle inventory (LCI) development, synthesising Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), operational records and expert consultation to correct discrepancies in material inventories. The findings provide actionable insights for refining construction KPI data management, advancing LCA standards to account for durability and adaptation and informing policy for a circular built environment.
