“…Assessing different wall systems based on their Global Warming Potential and Fossil Fuel Consumption using LCA has been studied by Dekkiche et al [36] in a certified LEED gold building. Vilcekova et al [13] analyzed different building materials for exterior walls in terms of embodied energy and embodied carbon.…”

“…For instance, Autoclaved Aerated Concrete panel with external insulation is regarded as the best alternative for a residential building façade in Australia, depending on the AHP results [12]. Another study by Vilcekova et al [13] mentioned foam glass as the best alternative thermal insulation based on the environmental and thermal aspects. Moreover, "photovoltaic materials" are considered the most sustainable materials for building façades with the high priority result of AHP, according to Balali et al [14].…”

The need to enhance the performance of building façades and mitigate adverse environmental impacts has promoted the hypothesis of integrating green materials towards sustainable buildings. Façade designers tend to select building materials based on their green characteristics (origin) or green performance; however, this study highlights the importance of integrating both into the decision process. The main objective is to develop a new assessment process for selecting green building façade materials based on green performance and green originality. Furthermore, the evaluation framework considers four green building rating systems as a reference to allocate credits for the relevant criteria. Applying the proposed criteria in this study helps maximize the points for accreditation when incorporating green building materials in building façades. Moreover, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is used to assign the proposed criteria’s weighting importance based on the four rating systems’ average points. After that, performing sensitivity analysis to identify each criterion’s influence is conducted. The study concluded that involving minimum levels of adverse impacts is the preferable criteria regarding the green origin concept. As for the green performance, promoting the performance of indoor air quality is the most favorable selection criteria.

“…Another study [8] is focused on evaluation of design concept of three variants of lower structures from embodied energy and emissions point of view. Study [9] analyzed and identified the environmental quality of material compositions of exterior walls. The aim of this paper is thermohygral analysis and environmental indicator calculations using the LCA method.…”

The goal of this paper is to assess two ultra-low-energy family houses from thermo-physical aspects and environmental perspectives. Thermo – physical evaluation, done in two-dimensional PC software Area, has shown results that consent with the newest standards for designing critical details in two ultra-low-energy family houses. Both cases show correctness in design in regards to thermo-physical properties. Both critical spots – corners are well insulated with surface temperatures over 17°C, which indicates low risk of mold occurring. Most of the embodied energy is in roof construction with value of 3084 MJ in house A and 1943 MJ in house B. In terms of indicator of global warming potential, most emissions were calculated in bearing walls of house B (593 kgCO2eq/m2). From the acidification potential, the most emissions were determined in the roof construction B (1.02283 kgSO2eq/m2). It can be stated that financial expenses on groundwork and preparing polystyrene casing for a reinforced concrete slab is significantly higher (family house A) than for foundation insulated from the exterior side with extruded polystyrene (family house B).
