Abstract:
In this work, an Excel-based calculation method was developed which quantitatively calculates the CO2 footprint of a GOLDBECK logistics hall. It divides the CO2 emissions caused in each case into the production and disposal/recycling phase and indicates their total sum. The calculation method provides an overview of the expected CO2 emissions of the individual areas of the building (shell, building envelope, fixtures, building services and finishing trades).
The area of a logistics hall with the highest emissions is the shell, mainly because of the
The most emission-intensive area of a logistics hall is the shell, mainly due to the massive or frequent components such as the hall floor or the roof structure. Furthermore, hall fixtures made of reinforced concrete and the façade construction have a significant impact. Based on an example project, it was determined that emissions can be reduced by approx. 12.9 % by replacing building components or materials. There are further possibilities for increasing the sustainability of a logistics hall, such as the use of photovoltaics or a green hall roof, which, however, cannot yet be expressed in CO2 equivalents. By using life cycle assessments, the construction company GOLDBECK is getting closer to CO2 neutrality. However, further steps and innovations are needed.
