Lifecycle Impact Assessment for Tall Timber Building: Learning from HAUT

  • Shady Attia

摘要

The HAUT building in Amsterdam, the tallest timber structure in the Netherlands, redefines sustainable high-rise construction. This 21-story hybrid design combines mass timber with concrete, offering a benchmark for the Lifecycle Impact Assessment (LCIA) of tall timber buildings. The chapter addresses challenges in embodied carbon, biogenic storage, and end-of-life pathways, using dynamic LCIA modeling to assess environmental impacts. Research shows timber buildings often surpass a 150-year lifespan, exceeding the 50-year evaluation standard in regulations. However, findings suggest timber-only designs lose efficiency above 60 m, requiring hybrid solutions. Lessons from HAUT provide actionable strategies for advancing sustainable timber high-rises.
