Abstract :
[en] The main objective of this research is to Evaluate, analyse, to compare and discuss the photochemical ozone production coming from one neighbourhood initially located in Belgium. Which the same
neighbourhood design is applied in 150 countries, by applying four parameters adapted to each country such as:
energy mix, local climate, building materials and occupants’ mobility. In addition, this research evaluates the
induced environmental costs of the neighbourhood over a life cycle of 100 years in some countries located on
the five continents. The results show that in the case of sustainable neighbourhoods, the photochemical ozone
production is 14.3% higher in the Low than High income countries. Photovoltaic panel has a significant effect on
the photochemical ozone production; indeed, it allows to reduce between 5-10% of this one. By 2030, if each of
the 150 studied countries, increases up to 30% the renewable energy rate in its own energy mix, to the current
examples of countries such as: Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Costa Rica, DRC, Nepal, Tajikistan . . . ,
so, Photochemical Ozone Production will decrease from 32% to 45% depending on the region. An average of
56% of photochemical ozone potential (POP) is produced during the operational phase of the neighbourhood.
