Abstract
The paper presents a methodology for carbon
footprint assessment of buildings according to the current
European standard. The analytical formulas are proposed to
assess the carbon footprint through emissions calculation for
the building life cycle including extraction, transportation, and
processing of raw materials, construction and installation
process, operation, maintenance, and repair, as well as
liquidation and disposal. Beyond the life cycle boundaries, the
possible benefits from recycling and reuse of building
components and materials are considered.
