Document Summary
By scarring the surface, it makes it more resistant. Building component that can have wide range of atributes that make them beter than alternaives i. e. low-e glass. Basic materials that may be the component of products or used in a stand- alone manner i. e. fsc wood. Lifecycle of materials: resource extracion, manufacturing, on-site construcion, occupancy/maintenance, demoliion, recycle/reuse/disposal. Embodied energy: total energy consumed in the total life cycle of a material (from material acquisiion, manufacturing, use and end-of-life) Ecological rucksack: quaniicaion of the mass of materials that must be moved in order to extract a speciic resource (aluminum is the worst) Our goal is to create a product that can (imitate nature): 5 rules of a closed loop: buildings must be deconstructable, products must be disassemblable, materials must be recyclable, products/materials must be harmless in producion and in use, materials dissipated from recycling must be harmless.
