Preparation of a study for the comparative ecological and economic evaluation of the resource input: Use of dry construction elements

Weiße Trockenbauelemente, im Inneren eines neu gebauten Hauses an die Wand gelehnt.

The aim of the study is to determine and compare the resource input for three dry construction elements. On this basis, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are to be provided with a guideline that enables a structured overview of the ecological and economic advantages of the dry construction alternatives.

The following research questions will be answered:

  1. what expenditures of material, energy, water and, if applicable, land have to be made over the life cycle of the drywall elements?
  2. which raw materials are used that are critical to supply?
  3. what emissions, expressed in CO2 equivalents, are emitted per variant?
  4. what are the costs for the variants considered?
  5. How can users be effectively and efficiently supported in the examination of ecological and economic issues in the application of natural gypsum, recycled gypsum or alternative, natural dry construction elements?
