Allard Hall LCA study

University of British Columbia. Campus and Community Planning

This report is the final project for CIVL 498C, Life Cycle Analysis, which is being taken as a Civil Engineering fourth year technical elective. The subject of this report is Allard Hall, which is the building for the Faculty of Law on UBC Point Grey campus. Detailed information about Allard Hall is contained in this report. The life cycle analysis, as well as accompanying definitions and information, are detailed in this report. A life cycle assessment was performed previously for this building, also as a final project for a previous year of this class. For this project the previous LCA report and model was reorganized and modified where appropriate. To do this the take-off software On Screen Take-off, as well as the Athena Impact Estimator for Buildings software were used. Subsequent to the reassessment of the building, benchmarks for impact categories were created using LCA information from various other UBC buildings. The results of the reassessment of Allard Hall were then compared with the benchmarks, and the results were that Allard Hall had significantly lower impacts than the benchmarks. All of the information concerning the results of the LCA study on Allard Hall, as well as the comparison with the generated benchmarks are included in this report with accompanying figures.Disclaimer: “UBC SEEDS provides students with the opportunity to share the findings of their studies, as well as their opinions, conclusions and recommendations with the UBC community.
