The paper analyses the insulation expediency of the external envelopes of the building with reference to 2E (energy – primary energy consumption and environmental – CO2 emissions) criteria and presents an overview of thermal insulation and studies on other structural elements based on life cycle analysis. The object of research is a typical residential building. The article determines different insulation materials of external envelopes, primary energy consumption and CO2 emissions by insulating walls from F to B and from B to A ++ class. Graphical interpretation shows primary energy, CO2 and the payback period of 60 years. Also, the paper considers primary energy and CO2 emissions distributed at various life cycle stages. Straipsnyje nagrinėjamas pastato išorinių atitvarų apšiltinimo tikslingumas 2E (energiniu ­– pirminės energijos sąnaudų ir ekologiniu – CO2 – išmetalų) kriterijų požiūriu. Apžvelgti teoriniai darbai, kuriuose statybinės medžiagos nagrinėjamos pirminės energijos ir poveikio aplinkai vertinimo (PAV) požiūriu. Tyrimo objektu pasirinktas gyvenamosios paskirties pastatas. Nagrinėjamos skirtingos išorinių atitvarų termoizoliacinės medžiagos, nustatomi pirminės energijos kiekiai ir CO2 išmetalai apšiltinant atitvaras nuo F iki B ir nuo B iki A++ pastato energinės klasės. Vertinama pagal gyvavimo ciklo analizės metodiką. Pateikiama grafinė interpretacija, rodanti sutaupytos pirminės energijos ir CO2 kiekius per 60 metų laikotarpį, identifikuojamos energetiškai ir ekologiškai priimtiniausios termoizoliacinės medžiagos pastatams apšiltinti.

A life cycle analysis approach was used to assess the environmental impacts for three types of hotel buildings having various envelope configurations and materials, built in different climates: Algeria and France. The study assesses through a comparative approach the impact of building components on its energy performance and their environmental cost over the entire life cycle of the building. The life cycle analysis was performed using PLEIADES software tools. The results show that it is possible to reduce the energy requirements of both traditional and standard building envelopes by assigning low-consumption building scenarios. However, although these scenarios could reduce some environmental impacts, they could also enhance others. In order to improve the results of life cycle analysis, another variant that generates less impacts than previously simulated variants was developed by retaining the following environmental scenarios: superfluous material at the site, 5%; lifetime of doors and windows should be 30 years; coating life-time should be 10 years; use of natural gas for heating; wood energy for domestic hot water; consumption of cold water should be 0.2 m3/person/day; selective collection of glass, 50%; selective collection of paper, 30%; incinerated waste, 30%; and the produced waste should not be more than 1 kg/person/day.
