6A - LCIA - Toxicity/RA (WEP/229) ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SCENARIOS FOR AN APPARTMENT BUILDING - LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT AND EXERGY ANALYSIS. Koroneos, Christopher1, Theodosiou, George1, Moussiopoulos, Nicolas1, 1 Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece ABSTRACT- This work is concerned with the analysis and comparison of different types of fuels intended either for direct or indirect use for the satisfaction of the energy requirements of a typical apartment building in Thessaloniki. The energy requirements that are being examined can constitute: space heating, water heating, kitchen and cooking appliances, lighting and other various electrical appliances. The analysis aims to create a simulation model made up of five fuels scenarios. Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is used for the cases of light heating oil EL, natural gas, and of electricity generation and usage (lignite, natural gas, diesel oil and kerosene originated). The results deriving from LCA can be used for viewing and comparing each fuel environmental impact, and can be used potentially as a decision making tool for cleaner ecologically power production units. All data being analyzed were collected from typical power stations in Greece. Key words: exergy, life cycle analysis, energy, buildings |
