Dataset for: Does design-for-deconstruction increase upfront embodied carbon? Life cycle assessment of a deconstructable building
The dataset has been prepared to summarise the life cycle inventory that has been developed to describe the environmental impacts of the building used as a case study for the study. The life cycle inventory has been prepared by completing a material take-off from the as-built drawings and material specifications for the building. The material take-off has been used to develop quantities and material specifications that can be used to represent the building without knowing the exact details of the building.

Documentation
Data collection method:
The information presented in the dataset was gathered using a material take-off of the material specifications and as-built construction drawings for the case study building located in Swansea, UK. The dataset can be used to develop a model that can be used to perform a life cycle assessment to evaluate the environmental impacts of the case study building.
Technical details and requirements:
The dataset is based on the use of ecoinvent version 3.6. The ecoinvent processes used to describe the materials in the inventory can be used to represent the life cycle inventory in other life cycle assessment databases.
Additional information:
The LCI has been structured as described in the Readme file.
