Utsläpp och lagring av koldioxid : En jämförelse mellan två byggnadsstommar

Sammanfattning: Impacts from climate change are affecting all life on earth and the building sector is a great contributor of greenhouse gases. A transformation of the building sector is one part of the solution to limit impacts from human-driven climate change. In Sweden approximately one fifth of all emissions of carbon dioxide comes from the building sector. In this report a comparison of emissions of greenhouse gases and storage of carbon dioxide has been done for two different building systems of a house with three floors and 12 apartments. In the result it appears that emissions from the wooden building is near 0 carbon dioxide equivalent (9 000 kg CDE) when the storage of carbon dioxide in wooden products are considered. The value for the concrete building is almost 20 times higher, 164 000 kilogram CDE. Comparisons of each construction like exterior walls, interior walls and floors show that emissions of greenhouse gases from the concrete building are bigger for each part. Also when the captured carbon dioxide in wooden products is not considered. Floors in both buildings stand for most of the greenhouse gas emissions. For all wooden products the captured carbon is about ten times higher than the emissions of CDE in productions of the products. These values could be interpreted that wooden buildings have potential to work as efficient carbon storage.
