Prólogo

Una vez más CILCA, la Conferencia

para compartir los avances metodológicos, los casos de estudio, las innovaciones y los análisis

sectoriales que investigadores, tesistas y practicantes han desarrollado en distintas regiones del

planeta.

Impulsadas por la Red Iberoamericana de Ciclo de Vida, las CILCA se realizan cada dos años en

distintos países de la región, y es esta vez la hermosa ciudad de Lima quien nos recibe para su

Sexta Edición, invitados por la Red Peruana de Ciclo de

de Perú, con el apoyo de la UNEP

Desde la primera edición en Costa Rica en el 2005, la conferencia ha visitado Brasil, Chile,

México, y Argentina antes de llegar a Perú para celebrar lo

esfuerzos.

Abstract

The research´s, main purpose is to assess the environmental impacts of the use of the Structural

Insulated Panel (SIP) as an alternate construction system. Please, check this phrase, too much

complex The system is based on prefabricated panels, with an outside sheet of fiber cement and

polystyrene inside in a way of sandwich, wich are used both to build insulated walls and slabs

mezzanine and roof which makes it very attractive for mass housing construction material.

Another research interest is related to the fact determine the most appropriate location of the

current production facility considering the distribution of nationwide panel with lower

environmental burden, since in its current location in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, environmental

impacts by the use of ground transportation to potential distribution centers and consumption are

quite high.

Keywords: insulated panels, prefabricated buildings, sustainable housing.

Introduction

The SIP system was created in 1937 by architect Frank Loyd second Wright in the US and is used

in over 17 countries. It initially consisted of exterior wood sheet, then replaceted for fiber cement,

which we call "Panels Duratherm". They are manufactured with two flat fiber cement adhered to

both sides of expanded polystyrene "EPS" high density together these mechanically structured

treated, horizontal and vertical wooden elements coated basecoat on cement sheeting panels.

The cement is based on the principles of reinforced concrete. Instead of steel, fibers are used as the

cement hardening element, while the gravel and sands provide compression capability. The

curing process requires certain reactions of two key elements: cement and silica sand; but there is

another technology, which refers to the natural curing or the environment in which the cement is

playing the lead role.

At that level we could say that the portion of the fibers is between 3 and 8.5% of the total

composition. There is such variation due to the qualities of each fiber, as is not the same use

154

mineral chrysotile fibers extracted from the mines, the cellulose or synthetic as polyacrylonitrile,

polyvinyl alcohol or polypropylene, which typically provide between 2 and 3.5% of the total

weight of the matrix are formulated.

Expanded polystyrene (EPS) is a material used in construction, especially for thermic and acoustic

insulation and in a number of diverse applications. Check the english It is technically defined as

"rigid cellular plastic material made from the molding of pre-expanded expandable polystyrene

beads or one of its co-polymers, having a closed cellular structure and air-filled".

Using SIPS has different advantages. Its construction speed (of what?) represents a significant

saving of time, wich means a quick recover of investment, and also, energy savings for the end

user, since it is thermally insulated with a thermal envelope r = 32. This not only means money

saving and less energy consumption, but it also increases the quality of life for users, mainly in

places with extreme temperatures.

Methodology The research was conducted with LCA methodology (ISO 14040) using the damage oriented

method Ecoindicador 99 (H) of the SIMA.Pro 7.2 software and the database ecoinvent 2.0 (2007)

Purpose and scope.

Identify and evaluate the environmental impacts during the production of SIP panel with focus on

damage caused by categories of climate change, ecotoxicity and consumption of fossil fuels and

the interpretation of results. The scope of the study covers from the extraction of raw materials and

the impacts generated during production of the panel to the selection of the probable location of

the plant and the means of transport with lower impacts on different distribution centers in

Mexico.

Functional unit.

1 SIP panel whose function is to separate spaces, either vertically (walls) or horizontal (floor slabs

or cover).

Flow of reference.

1 SIP panel 3 M2 (1.22. X 2.44 Mts., Or 4 'x 8') consists of two fiber cement sheets attached to a

plate EPS 3 "1/4,

Limits of system.

LCA analysis of SIP Panel comprises from extraction of raw materials for the production of basic

elements of the panel in various probable locations of the production plant to distribution of SIP

panel to different distribution centers in Mexico.

A comparisons among three SIP panels made in three probable locations of the plant and the

impacts generated by various types of transport from these sites to different distribution centers are

shown in the following Figures.

Comparison of CO2 generated during the manufacture of panels in three probable locations of SIP

panel manufacturing plant and transport panel to distribution centers located in major cities in

Mexico.

Discussion

The first comparison between SIP’s components shows that fiber cement is the greater impact,

since it´s a 93% of SIP´s weight. And….?. The second, states that the burning of fossil fuels for

transport is the main source of damage. In turn, the third comparison indicates that minor impacts

are generated in located in the center of the country including distribution to three major cities

nationwide plant. Finally the fourth, confirms that even varying types of transport the course of the

panel manufactured in central Mexico has the best results.

Conclusions

The results show that the transport of raw materials and finished products generates the greatest

environmental impacts and the distance between center of production and distribution is directly

proportional to the separate impacts of transport.
