The Development of Building materials Embodied Greenhouse gases Assessment System (SUSB-BEGAS) for Supporting the Green Building Certification System (G-SEED) in Korea

Abstract

This study aims to develop Building materials Embodied Greenhouse gases Assessment System (SUSB-BEGAS) for supporting green building certification system (G-SEED) in Korea. For this purpose, main building materials which met the cut-off level of ISO 14040 were drew based on the bill of quantities and selected the targets of evaluation for this study by reflecting the opinions of technical committee of green building certification standard. In addition, the Korea National LCI DB, LCI DB of Korea Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and carbon footprint labelling certificate of Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute were adopted as the database of this study for reflecting the social features of Korea. As a result, Building materials Embodied Greenhouse gases Assessment System (SUSBBEGAS) at the web environment applicable have been developed at the green building certification system (G-SEED).
