abstract = {Life cycle assessments (LCAs) are a key tool for evaluating
the environmental sustainability of buildings and districts.
Since buildings have a lifespan of several decades,
developments in the electricity sector are particularly
important for the operational phase. The electricity sector
is undergoing profound change as a result of the energy
transition. Fossil fuel-based, CO₂-intensive generation
capacities are increasingly being replaced by renewable
energies, which reduce the emission intensity of
electricity. At the same time, the temporal volatility of
electricity supply from photovoltaics and wind power is
increasing, which requires a differentiated view of
emissions over the course of the day and year. LCA that take
effects such as these into account are referred to as
dynamic life cycle assessments. In the building sector,
technological developments, climate change-related weather
changes, degradation of building technology and insulation,
and recycling play a role alongside developments in the
electricity sector. This thesis examines how these dynamic
factors—in particular the decarbonization and variability
of the electricity sector—affect the optimal dimensioning
of insulation, storages, and building technology. To this
end, four building types and two districts with different
heat pump systems are considered. To investigate the
questions, load profiles were generated for the different
building types and districts and coupled with a
mixed-integer linear optimization (MILP).This approach
allows the energy system design—especially for heat pumps,
storages, and insulation—to be optimized simultaneously
according to ecological criteria. The results show that
taking the decarbonization of the electricity sector into
account roughly halves the optimal insulation thickness in
all cases, making it the dominant influencing factor. It
also becomes clear that only hourly electricity data allows
for realistic dimensioning of electrical storage systems.
The thesis thus contributes to the further development of
future energy and sustainability standards by highlighting
the limitations of common static assessment methods.},
