The Impact of Buildings Throughout Their Life Cycle on the Environment: A Systematic Review
2024
Goretti,Hannah | Setiawan,Harijanto
Over their life cycle, buildings consume many resources and energy and occupy much land. This, in turn, harms the environment. This study attempts to provide a thorough understanding of buildings' impact on the environment throughout their life cycle. This research utilizes a systematic literature review (SLR) using PRISMA guidelines. Data collection in this research was carried out using the Scopus database and was complemented by searching on Google Scholar and manual searches. The research stages consisted of several stages: review planning, defining selection criteria, data collection, data selection, quality assessment, data extraction, and data synthesis. After going through all stages of the research, 28 articles were obtained for further review. Based on the analysis conducted on the 28 articles, it was found that buildings throughout their life cycle cause various impacts on the environment, which are classified into three categories based on the recipients, namely impacts on ecosystems, impacts on humans, and impacts on natural resources. Global warming and abiotic (non-fossil) resource depletion are the most common impacts found at every stage of the building's life cycle. This research is expected to encourage researchers and practitioners to continue to develop and apply the concept of sustainable buildings to minimize the impact caused by buildings on the environment.
