Abstract

In 2012 a Bosporus Mansion, which was demolished because of a fire in 1995, is reconstructed. Although it's facades were constructed the same as the original building, it's structural system component was made of reinforced concrete. But today doing so is forbiden by the new legislations in Istanbul, Turkey. It's structural system components must also be constructed with the original kind of materials and techniques. In the paper; firstly the embodied CO2 emissions of the reconstructed external wall and an eventual reconstruction of it according to the new legislation are calculated; secondly the U-Values of both alternatives are calculated; and thirdly operational CO2 emissions are calculated. And lastly embodied and operational CO2 emissions are compared and contrasted.
