Abstract

Although being large the number of references on the environmental impacts determined by building materials, the number of studies in Brazil reporting such impacts is very limited. Thus, very little is known about the environmental impact of local building materials as part of the impact caused by buildings and the building sector. NORIE, a sector of the Civil Engineering Department at UFRGS (Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul), started in 2000 a research project aiming to identify quantitative and qualitative environmental impacts caused by ceramic bricks, blocks and tiles production, in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, located in the south of Brazil. This paper analyses the collected data on a survey performed at 40 ceramic industries, with different scales (producing from 20,000 to 1,500,000 bricks/month), and uses LCA methodology to obtain results related to resources and energy consumption, as well as waste emissions in each process step. The obtained results reveal positive and negative aspects related to the production of ceramic materials. In addition, it was possible to estimate the embodied energy of local ceramic materials produced by 18 ceramic industries.
