Life Cycle Assessment of Timber Structures in Gbaramatu Kingdom, Nigeria

Year: 2025

Type: dissertation

Abstract: This study presents a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of timber structures in the Gbaramatu Kingdom, located in the coastal region of Delta State, Nigeria. The study evaluates the environmental impacts associated with the production, construction, use, and end-of-life stages of timber-based building materials using OpenLCA and the Ecoinvent database. The results demonstrate timber’s potential to reduce carbon emissions and energy consumption compared to concrete structures.
