Final Report Tasks 1 and 4: Eco-Efficiency Assessment of Building Refurbishment
CRC for Construction Innovation
2006
Abstract
The main objective was to compare the environmental impacts of a building undergoing refurbishment both before and after the refurbishment and to assist in the design of the refurbishment with what is learned. The specific objectives as modified due to the lack of a refurbished building were to:
• Review the issues of reuse for the Council House 1 Building, and
• Provide a quantitative assessment to:
>> Compare the environmental impact of the whole building using existing materials with the same building if was built today using preferred materials, and
>> Include recycled content where possible in the assessment.
