Abstract
⺠Life cycle primary energy analysis of a residential building is evaluated under different envelopes and climates. ⺠Alternative (low embodied energy) wall materials alone save up to 5% of primary life cycle energy. ⺠Life cycle energy savings are significant (10-30%) with the application of insulation to the walls and roof. ⺠The limit for thickness of insulation has been evaluated from life cycle perspective.
