The study examines a life cycle assessment of a typical American residential home in Denver, Colorado
USA. A detailed materials list was generated from the list of purchases and subcontractor payments
throughout the construction of the house. With this information, the embodied energy and
greenhouse gas emissions during three phases - construction phase, operation phase and end-of-life
phase of the life of the house were generated using CES EduPack. The construction phase considers all
materials, appliances and mechanical equipment to make the house liveable. The operation phase
examines the gas, electricity and water consumed during the 50-year life of the house. The end-of-life
phase summarizes the effects of different disposal methods of the home. The environmental impacts
of the construction phase and operation phase are responsible for a majority of the embodied energy
and greenhouse gas emissions while the end-of-life has a negligible effect
