| description | This article describes the implementation of a life cycle analysis (LCA), considering the consumption and emissions present in the administration building of a public utility company in a city of less than one million inhabitants, in order to determine the respective carbon footprint. The LCA is a methodological framework for estimating and evaluating the environmental impacts attributable to a product or service during all stages of its life. In this regard, the methodology proposed by the Colombian Technical Standard NTC-ISO 14040 and ISO 14046 of 2006 was developed. Initially, the following phases were considered: definition of the objective and scope, inventory analysis, environmental impact assessment, and, finally, interpretation of results. This allows determining the carbon footprint, which quantifies the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere, generated by the consumption of the qualifiers in the inputs and outputs defined in the study, such as: electricity, water, wastewater, refrigerants, among others. The results obtained demonstrate that the building generated a carbon footprint of 509.2 tons of CO2 equivalent , taking 2019 as the base year. The main contributors were diesel fuel and electricity consumption, with 272.6 and 96.7 tons of CO2 equivalent , respectively. Furthermore, it was evident that paper and propane gas consumption account for the lowest carbon footprint, generating only 92.3 and 24 kg of CO2 equivalent , respectively. |
