ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL STRUCTURAL GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER BASED ON FIELD SURVEY(Environmental Engineering)

Abstract

Sustainable buildings with low environmental impact have attracted great social concern. The purpose of this research is to evaluate the environmental impact of a sustainable building which utilizes local timbers quantitatively with Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. In addition, the comparison of the environmental impact of local timbers use with imported timbers use is tried in this research. This research describes the outline of the environmental impact assessment of local structural glued laminated timbers based on field survey and the effect of environmental load reduction by the local timbers use.
