Abstract
The selection of building materials is one of the most important issues in the phase of building design. This decision has impact on the energy performance of the building as well asits indoor environmental quality. Energy needed forthe extraction, processing and transportation of materials used in building structures can be a significant part of the total energy within the entire life cycle of the building. The environmental impacts are expressed by indicators such as embodied energy, CO2eq and SO2eq emissions. The aim of this analysis is to identify the environmental quality of material compositions of exterior walls.
