A century-old building is currently being renovated in the Green Lake neighborhood. Hubbard’s Corner is an adaptive reuse project attempting to reduce its carbon footprint by replacing conventional building materials with novel, low-impact materials such as concrete-free “C-crete”, hempwool insulation, cross-laminated timber, and reused structural steel. This building project is the first instance of real implementation of some of these novel materials. The manufacturing of two building materials, cement and steel, are responsible for over 10% of global greenhouse gas emissions. The purpose of this study is to use Life Cycle Assessment to analyze the impacts and possible benefits of using novel, low-carbon building materials. We will use environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) to evaluate environmental impacts of manufacturing these novel materials. We will then estimate the difference in environmental impacts between the novel materials and functionally equivalent conventional materials and expect the results to be significantly lower. By analyzing the materials through an LCA framework, we will be able to compare the relative impact of the different design decisions on this project and help understand the relative significance of choosing these materials.
