英国の代表的な戸建住宅を対象に、麻繊維・木質繊維・グラスウール・XPSの4種断熱材をEN15978/15804準拠のLCA・LCCで比較した。運用エネルギーが全ライフサイクル影響を支配し、断熱材間の差は軽微。一方で内包炭素（A1–A5）は麻繊維とグラスウールが優位だが、コスト差はほぼない。炭素削減の鍵は運用エネルギーの脱炭素化にあると結論づける。
English
A UK single-family dwelling case study compares hemp fibre, wood fibre, glass wool and XPS insulation using EN 15978/15804-aligned LCA and LCC. Operational energy dominates whole-life impacts, with minimal variation across materials; embodied impacts (A1–A5) favour hemp and glass wool, while costs are tightly clustered. The study concludes that major carbon reductions depend on decarbonising operational energy rather than insulation choice.

日本のGX文脈において
英国の建物LCA・LCC統合手法は、日本でのSSBJ・有報におけるScope 3カテゴリ1・11や建築物のライフサイクル炭素開示を検討する企業・政策担当者に実務的示唆を与える。特に断熱材選択よりも運用エネルギーの脱炭素化が重要という知見は、省エネ法・ZEH政策と整合する。
In the global GX context
This UK case study demonstrates an integrated LCA/LCC framework aligned with EN standards, offering a template for building-level whole-life carbon assessment that can inform ISSB/CSRD disclosure on embodied and operational emissions. It reinforces that operational decarbonisation, not material choice, drives major reductions—relevant to global net-zero building codes.

📄 Abstract（原文）
To evaluate the whole-life environmental and economic performance of four insulation materials used in the UK, hemp fibre, wood fibre, glass wool and extruded polystyrene (XPS), by comparing their embodied and operational impacts within a consistent regulatory and modelling framework. A like-for-like assessment was conducted for a representative British single-family dwelling by integrating dynamic energy simulation with life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) within a cradle-to-grave framework aligned with EN 15978 and EN 15804. Operational energy demand (Module B6) was simulated using DesignBuilder/EnergyPlus. Embodied impacts across Modules A1–A5 and end-of-life Modules C1–C4 were calculated in One Click LCA using Environmental Product Declarations and aligned generic datasets. Whole-life costs were evaluated over a 70-year study period using discounted cash-flow analysis. Operational energy dominates whole-life impacts for all insulation options, with annual energy use ranging from 11,598 to 11,833 kWh and minimal variation due to equivalent regulatory U-value targets. Whole-life global warming potential is similarly close (≈2,342–2,418 kgCO2e/m2, excluding Module D), with hemp fibre and glass wool showing slightly lower values. Embodied impacts (A1–A5) differ more clearly, favouring hemp fibre and glass wool over wood fibre and XPS. LCC results are tightly clustered (NPV ≈ £49.2k–£49.4k; ≈ £1.89k/year), suggesting cost is not a key differentiator. The study offers a UK-specific integrated comparison combining dynamic simulation, LCA and LCC, highlighting that while insulation choice affects embodied carbon, major carbon reductions depend primarily on reducing and decarbonising operational energy.
