Authors: Roberts, M., Allen, S., Coley, C. The following dataset has been prepared to summarize the building information required for the subsequent life cycle assessment. Notes on Dataset: The quantities presented in the following dataset have been prepared to describe the following building: Building size: 190 square metres (m2) Year of construction: 2016 Location: Swansea, UK Building use: Education with office space The dataset has been developed to act as the life cycle inventory (LCI) for the upfront embodied impacts [A1-A3] attributed to the case study building. The LCI dataset summarises a detailed quantity takeoff of the case study buidling. As-built construction drawings and material specifications were used to develop a life cycle inventory that is representative of the case study building. Without needing to see the drawings or any additional information about the building's design, this LCI can be followed to gain an understanding of the environmental impacts attributed to the building's design. The quantities presented can be used to replicate the published study. Column A-C are used to divide the building into elements as defined by the New Rules of Measurement (NRM), prepared by the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) (RICS, 2012). Column A defines Elemental Group that the process is assigned to. Column B defines the Elemental Category that the process is assigned to. Column C defines the Elemental Subcategory that the process is assigned to. For 2.1 - Frame and 3 - Internal Finishes there is no subcategory defined by the NRM, therefore Column 3 will be blank for these entries. Column D describes, where applicable, the ecoinvent process used to represent each material or component in the building. Column E provides further information regarding the geographic representation of each process. Refer to UserDefinedProcessLCI.csv for User Defined Processes. Column F defines the specific quantity of each process included in the LCI. Column G defines the unit that corresponds to the quantity in Column F. For all ecoinvent processes (defined in Column D) a cutoff approach has been chosen for the study. This is indicated by the 'Cutoff' in Column E. All ecoinvent Processes have been chosen as unit processes, indicated by the 'U' in column E. Where possible, processes have been chosen to represent the European context, indicated by the 'RER' in Column E. When European level information is not available from the ecoinvent database a global average has been chosen to represent the process. The global average is indicated by the 'GLO' in Column E.
