Abstract
This report deals with single-unit dwellings built in 1991 and 1992 in a city called Orebro, Sweden.The houses are prefabricated and the frameworks are made of wood.
The aim of the essay is to present the total use of energy during the life-cycle of single-unit dwellings, taking their mode of construction into account. The life-cycle of a house is divided into the following periods: production (manufacturing of the building materials, transportation of the materials and erection of the single-unit dwellings);· management (occupation and renovation); and, finally, destruction (demolition and removal of debris). The management period is assumed to be 50 years.
