An Overview to Reducing Environmental Impacts with Material Selection in Building Vertical Envelope and Discussion Material Selection Guidelines for Turkey

Abstract

The inefficient use of resources, increased consumption of fossil fuels, urbanization, and the resultant rise in building production have significantly escalated the environmental impacts of buildings in recent years. Material selection and the consideration of the life-cycle performance of materials are fundamental to ensuring sustainability. A substantial portion of a building's environmental impact is attributed to the materials utilized in its construction. Numerous studies indicate that material selection profoundly affects energy consumption and environmental impacts. Various methods and models exist for material selection. This study systematically summarizes material selection approaches from different research studies and discusses their applicability in Turkey. The findings reveal that material selection is a complex issue that should be considered from a life-cycle perspective. Although developing a comprehensive material selection method is challenging, its implementation is constrained by factors such as lack of data and standards. Consequently, considering material selection criteria is not yet feasible for Turkey. Nonetheless, research in this field is ongoing.
