摘要
The aim of this paper is to present an analysis model built in order to calculate the carbon footprint and embodied energy of a building. For this purpose, an analysis was made by using the Umberto NXT CO2 software for phases 1 and 2 of the life cycle of the building. Phase 1, materials and supplies and Phase 2, construction. Emissions of Phase 3, derived from the buildings operations, and Phase 4, end of life cycle, are not part of the scope of this study. In conclusion, extraction of raw material and manufacture of building materials stages in Phase 1 were found to generate more than 93% of the carbon footprint and more than 87% for embodied energy. The other stages did not present significant percentages in these two indicators.
