Considering embodied energy and carbon in heritage buildings – A review (2019)
Journal Article
Wise, F., Moncaster, A., Jones, D., & Dewberry, E. (2019). Considering embodied energy and carbon in heritage buildings – A review. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 329(1), Article 012002. https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/329/1/012002

Approximately 20% of UK buildings can be defined as ‘heritage buildings’, offering unique values that should be preserved. They tend to use more energy than newer buildings, creating a strong case for energy retrofits to reduce energy use, greenhouse...

The reporting of end of life and module D data and scenarios in EPD for building level life cycle assessment (2019)
Journal Article
Anderson, J., Ronning, A., & Moncaster, A. (2019). The reporting of end of life and module D data and scenarios in EPD for building level life cycle assessment. IOP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science, 323(1), Article 012051. https://doi.org/10.1088/1755-1315/323/1/012051

This paper identifies the need for Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) to provide End of Life (EoL) and Module D data for products for use in building level Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Although the provision of data for EN 15804 Modules A4-D is... Read More about The reporting of end of life and module D data and scenarios in EPD for building level life cycle assessment.

Estimating lifetimes and stock turnover dynamics of urban residential buildings in China (2019)
Journal Article
Zhou, W., Moncaster, A., Reiner, D. M., & Guthrie, P. (2019). Estimating lifetimes and stock turnover dynamics of urban residential buildings in China. Sustainability, 11(13), Article 3720. https://doi.org/10.3390/su11133720

Building lifetime and stock turnover are both key determinants in modelling building energy and carbon. However in China, aside from anecdotal claims that urban residential buildings are generally short-lived, there are no recent official statistics,...

Widening understanding of low embodied impact buildings: Results and recommendations from 80 multi-national quantitative and qualitative case studies (2019)
Journal Article
Moncaster, A., Rasmussen, F., Malmqvist, T., Wiberg, A. H., & Birgisdottir, H. (2019). Widening understanding of low embodied impact buildings: Results and recommendations from 80 multi-national quantitative and qualitative case studies. Journal of Cleaner Production, 235, 378-393. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2019.06.233

This paper publishes the results from a major five year International Energy Agency research project which investigated the reduction of embodied energy and greenhouse gas emissions over the whole life (‘cradle to grave’) of buildings. Annex 57 colla... Read More about Widening understanding of low embodied impact buildings: Results and recommendations from 80 multi-national quantitative and qualitative case studies.
