Operational Emissions / Energy
Service and maintenance emissions
Annual service and maintenance emissions are evaluated as 0 kg CO₂-eq/m²/a (or 'Included') as separate inputs. Following standard LCA methodologies (SIA 2032), all future component replacements, component servicing, and system maintenance over a 50-year cycle are already fully accounted for within the reported annualized embedded carbon footprint of 8.4 kg CO₂-eq/m²/a.
Afterlife
No; however, the building is positioned on the plot in such a way that an identical, mirrored house can be constructed on the southern half in the future.
Yes, the prefabricated timber components are mounted around the concrete core without surface finishes, allowing for high circularity. They can be easily deconstructed and reused at another site if required. Furthermore, the timber frame elements are insulated with cellulose, a bio-based material with an extremely low embodied carbon footprint. At the building's end-of-life, this insulation can be easily vacuumed out and fully recycled, ensuring a high level of circularity.
