A State-of-the-Art Approach for Assessing the Environmental Sustainability of Multi-renewable Energy Systems in the Built Environment
摘要
To better understand the environmental impact of energy systems, this study introduces an overview of the concept of energy efficiency and best available techniques (BAT) through life cycle assessment. Using this applicable methodology (i.e., life cycle assessment), the study discusses the suitability, and applicability of the use of life cycle assessment for renewable energy systems (RES) in buildings. In order to support the sustainability concept and the transition towards a circular economy, some life cycle assessment (LCA) tools are being reviewed and criteria are established for their adaptability and use in the environmental impact assessment of building-integrated multi-energy system.
