Abstract :
[en] During this decade, the human exploitation on the environment is being to completely change the nature of the ecosystem. According to the experts, Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is the most appropriate method to quantify the different environmental impacts of human activities.The main purpose of this research is to quantify, at the neighborhood scale, twelve environmental impacts. Moreover, this research proposes to study two sustainable strategies to reduce these impacts on the environment: a sustainable urban mobility and the addition of photovoltaic panels on the buildings’ roofs. We will thus seek to quantify the impact of mobility management and local energy production on the environmental balance sheet of a sustainable neighborhood.For that, we used the combination of three simulation tools — ALCYONE, COMFIE-PLEIADES and novaEQUER for studying the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a case study. An eco-neighborhood, located in Belgium, has been selected as the modeling site. The results show that a sustainable mobility management in cities allows reducing from 4% to 50% of each of the twelve environmental impacts calculated for a neighborhood over its entire life cycle. The photovoltaic panels can mitigate up to 25% of greenhouse gas emissions, but this scenario generates an increase up to 18% for the damage to biodiversity and 21% for waste production.
