1 Input on material presented: Katrin Lenz Bastian Wittstock Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics Resources Planning of New Industrial Parks & Investments Zones June 2014 Thomas Kraubitz 1 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

2 Principle Life Cycle Thinking 2 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

3 Use local materials whenever possible 3 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

4 Use rapidly renewable materials 4 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

5 Methodology Impacts throughout the life cycle Impact Assessment Energy consumption, consumption of raw materials, global warming, summer smog, acidification, overfertilisation, environmental toxins, waste,... Emissions (waste) Inventory analysis Output Input Output Input Output Input Output Input Output Input Resources Life Cycle of Industrial goods Resource Extraction Production of intermediates Production Use phase Disposal/ Recycling Abteilung Ganzheitliche Bilanzierung, Fraunhofer IBP, DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

6 Modelling in LCA Collection of all input and output flows (bill of quantities) Manufacturer of intermediate products At the production site For operation and use Data sources Manufacturers data Verfified LCA datas Data bases and software Literature Own calculations and assumptions 6 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

7 Functions of industrial districts and LCA Office, work space and added value (production) buildings (offices, logistics, technical, ) Interpretation and analysis (life cycle based) of the industrial district Transportation, mobility,... Circulation areas Traffic (public transport, motorised individual transport, long distance traffic, railway, road construction, shipping, aircraft) Recreation, residence, urban climate Green areas Urban supply, communication Utilities development (infrastructure) Food production, goods, Utiledesign 7 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

8 LCA Life cycle assessment Interpretation and analysis (life cycle based) of the urban district Quantification of environmental impacts Utiledesign Global warming potential (ENV 1.1) Ozone depletion potential (ENV 1.1) Photochemical ozone creation potential (ENV1.1) Acidification (ENV1.1) Eutrophication (ENV1.1) Primary energy, non-renewable (ENV2.2) Primary energy, renewable (ENV2.2) Total primary energy demand (ENV2.2) 8 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

9 System boundaries and object of observation Area between the buildings (public area), the infrastructure and the industrial district site Buildings Circulation areas Green areas Infrastructure/utilities development Traffic (recorded for information) Period under consideration: 50 years Currently not considered: rail networks, consumer behaviour, food production 9 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

10 Lessons learned from Case studies Highest influence on the LCA results have: Buildings and building operation Circulation areas with minor importance Traffic cannot be evaluate at the moment knowledge on traffic would be useful and desirable Documentation is necessary and important even without an evaluation Measures to improve the LCA results: To check the type of heat and electricity supply (if applicable check use of e.g. photovoltaics) for buildings Quality management in the urban planning process may be possible through: Corresponding specification within the development plan Urban development contracts Catalogues for typologies and materials City district technical and performance specifications 10 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

11 Summary LCA in urban districts Evaluation of the first pilot projects At the moment: Buildings and building operation are the most important parameters with optimization potential For traffic, no reliable data is yet available Influence cannot be foreseen yet 11 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

12 ehuth, pixelio.de ENV1.1 Life cycle assessment Manual page DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

13 ENV1.1 Life cycle assessment Targets: Reduction of the emissions and consumption of energy resources across the whole life cycle of the industrial district Avoidance, reduction and offset of the impacts of construction activity on the global environment and the microclimate 13 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

14 ENV1.1 Life cycle assessment ENV1.1 Life cycle assessment Method: Area weighted ecological parameters for individual area proportions should be determined and related to the total gross floor area. In order to avoid a negative evaluation of spatially dense city development projects a ratio is determined between the total value of the life cycle assessment and the total gross floor area, taking into consideration the area weighted values of individual uses The life cycle assessment parameters are determined using area weighting and therefore refer to the total gross floor area and to one year and are used for evaluation (comparison with reference values). 14 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

15 Dr. Klaus-Uwe Gerhardt, pixelio.de ENV2.2 Total primary energy demand Targets: Reduction in life cycle-based emissions and energy resource consumption Minimising the total primary energy requirement (renewable and nonrenewable share) Increasing the share of renewable energy 15 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

16 Jürgen Nießen / PIXELIO ENV2.4 Resource-efficient infrastructure 16 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

17 Kurt Michel, pixelio.de ENV2.4 Resource-efficient infrastructure Targets: Conservation of resources through the appropriate selection of materials for infrastructure and through earthworks management in the district or in the immediate surroundings Avoidance of the use of non-renewable raw materials and the increase of waste Reduction in building material consumption Moving as little excavated material from the district as possible. Unavoidable excavated material should be reused within the district as far as possible 17 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

18 Examples for the use of recycled materials Riemer Park (Munich): Seperate demolition, extraction and storage of occuring materials Excavated soil: reused for gardening (roofing area, front gardening, ) Soil mixture: excavation as a source for gravel production, gravel is reused for groundwork construction in buildings, for drainage or green roofing Re-use of excavated soil in ground works for road construction, baricades for noise protection and snow sledging hills Use of recycled material for district design Quellen: Bundesvereinigung Recycling-Baustoffe (BRB) e. V. - Landeshauptstadt München - Ökologische Bausteine Teil I Stadtplanung DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

19 Examples for the use of recycled materials Jungfernstieg (Hamburg): Use of recycled materials as so called vegetation construction material Quelle: Bundesvereinigung Recycling-Baustoffe (BRB) e. V DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

20 Examples for the use of recycled materials Waldspirale Hundertwasserhaus (Darmstadt): Use of recycled materials for constructional elements made from concrete (Roof) former demolition material Recycled concrete: m³ Quellen: Bundesvereinigung Recycling-Baustoffe (BRB) e. V DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

21 Tasks for planning with regard to conservation of resources Increase service lifes For constructional elements Allow for re-use of constructional elements Maximize the possibility for deconstruction Minimize and optimize energy and material flows V I A Constructive design & Execution - Reversible interconnections - Design of surface layers - Selection of materials (material concept) - Use of environmental product information (EPD) - Selection of homogenous and untreated raw materials - Planning / Design of construction process - Transport distances - Construction process such as mobile & stationary recovery - Quelle: in Anlehnung an Energieatlas 21 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

22 ENV2.6 Water circulation systems 22 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

23 ENV2.6 Water circulation systems Targets: Reduction of drinking water consumption s.media, pixelio.de Susanne Schmich, pixelio.de Promotion of concepts for water circulation systems which are based on freshwater and waste water management on the basis of separating material flow Integration of rain and grey water into the supply chain Using waste water as a resource 23 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

24 ENV2.6 Water circulation systems ENV2.6.1 Supply Method: The drinking water demand for individual uses in the industrial district should be evaluated Evaluation of the use of rainwater in buildings as well as in public spaces 24 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

25 ENV2.6 Water circulation systems ENV2.6.2 Disposal Method: Evaluation of the disposal of rainwater, grey water and black water by means of a checklist 25 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz

26 ENV2.6 Water circulation systems ENV2.6.3 Further aspects of sustainable Methode: Evaluation whether there is a schematic water balance for the area and to which extend components of the water supply and disposal concept are integrated into the open spaces concept as part of the design 26 DGNB GmbH / Happold Consulting 2014 Thomas Kraubitz
