| الوصف: | The building sector is not well-known for its innovative character. Once in a while a particular field of expertise receives an impulse. In the period 1999-2005 such an impulse was given to the Industrial, Flexible and Deconstructable (IFD) building programme, which was funded by the Dutch national government. The aim of this programme was to stimulate innovation in the building sector. Buildings that contributed to one or more of these aspects were liable for subsidy. Eindhoven University of Technology participated in one of these projects, called ‘IFD-today’. IFD-today is an innovative apartment building system with industrial, flexible and deconstructable features. It consists of a steel frame and an extremely flexible floor concept. The dimensions are large (7.2m x 11.2m), and no extra support columns are needed. The partition walls can be placed anywhere, which allows for homes in different sizes. The concept was developed jointly by a housing association, a contractor and an installer. The university’s main reason for participating was the opportunity to carry out research on the development of the building, as well as the techniques that were used. A flexible building can be adapted to the wishes of the occupant. Therefore none of the (living) functions in ‘IFD-today’ is bound to specific locations in the layout, not even the toilet. Because of this flexibility, a building can be adapted more easily than a traditional building. This poses the main research question: To what extent is the environmental burden of the IFD-today apartment building system lower than the environmental burden of a traditional building? To make this visible the environmental burden needs to be quantified. The calculation is an essential part of this visualisation. Life Cycle Assessment Environmental burden is measured according to a Life Cycle Assessment, or LCA. This calculation method is based on all the materials and processes needed for a product during its entire life cycle. It is often called a cradle to grave approach. For ... |
