A great majority of the previous research put extensive efforts on the evaluation of life cycle impacts and carbon footprint of single buildings. Analysis on single buildings often excludes components related with urban scale such as construction of infrastructure, distance to city centre and transportation. Research on neighbourhood-scale settlements is necessary to further develop the understanding of the environmental impact of built-environment.

EMBODIED ENERGY ASSESSMENT OF THREE TYPES OF IRANIAN CLAY BRICKS AND COMPARISON OF THE EMBODIED ENERGY OF FIVE EXTERIOR WALL CONFIGURATIONS Gharbi Oskouei, Aisan; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2022-8-25) Environmental considerations and future sustainability are among the significant factors that have been considered in the present century. In the company of various influencing factors, the building and construction side has a momentous role in this regard due to its large contribution in consuming resources and energy, in addition to the release of detrimental greenhouse gases. The embodied energy of different alternative materials that are more commonly used in the construction of exterior walls and other...
Sustainability Assessments of Urban Railway Systems: Case Study Evaluations in Turkey YÜKSEL, MÜGE; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray (Springer, 2019-01-01) There are ongoing efforts to control global warming via reducing CO2 emissions, which are mostly based on human activities. Through life cycle assessment (LCA) carbon footprint (CFP) calculations provide a clear picture of embodied carbon (EC). In this study, the significance of EC estimation and reduction for railway projects are explored. The main motivation is having applicable sustainability strategies for railway systems in Turkey. Since there is no certification system, range or database, these effort...

EMBODIED CARBON ASSESSMENT OF URBAN RAILWAY SYSTEMS IN TURKEY BASED ON MATERIAL QUANTIFICATION Yüksel, Müge; Tanyer, Ali Murat; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2021-12-13) Due to global sustainability movements, environmental impact assessments are steadily accelerating in the Architecture – Engineering – Construction (AEC) sector. In order to achieve the 2030 and 2050 carbon targets, laws and regulations are published by governments and decision makers to reduce carbon emissions. Nowadays, transportation is the second-largest contributor to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions in the European Union, including Turkey. As a developing country, Turkey strives to catch not onl...
Comparative life cycle assessment of uranium recovery from brine Altay, Melike Benan; Kurt, Zöhre; Department of Environmental Engineering (2022-4-15) With the increase in world population and the associated increase in raw material, clean water, and energy demands, seeking for innovative and sustainable methods to decrease the human-made environmental footprint becomes a task of utmost importance. Uranium-based atomic energy the generation has an enormous potential to efficiently supply energy demand at the cost of high environmental impact on water bodies. Therefore, estimating the environmental impacts of the uranium recovery systems from desalination ...
