Abstract

The construction sector is a major contributor to resource depletion and greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the importance of adopting sustainable practices to meet environmental and climate goals. However, current assessments often underestimate impacts because of narrow system boundaries and insufficiently localized material inventory data, creating a critical research gap in accurately evaluating building sustainability. This study therefore applies to a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) framework to evaluate the environmental performance of key construction materials and to investigate strategies for integrating circular design and renewable energy to reduce carbon footprints. The results reveal that medium-term environmental impacts are approximately 20–30% higher than previously reported, while the Global Warming Potential of conventional brick increases by about 23% when additional life-cycle stages are considered. Furthermore, the analysis demonstrates that design-for-disassembly and recycling-oriented approaches can significantly enhance material recovery and reduce waste. These findings imply that developing harmonized, region-specific material databases and promoting circular construction alongside renewable energy integration are essential for improving LCA accuracy and achieving meaningful reductions in the environmental footprint of buildings.

Abstract

The long-term reliability and performance of photovoltaic (PV) modules largely depend on the thermal stability and durability of encapsulation materials that protect solar cells from environmental and thermal degradation. Ethylene–vinyl acetate (EVA) is widely used as a solar cell encapsulant due to its excellent optical and mechanical properties; however, its thermal stability and resistance to degradation remain critical challenges under prolonged operating conditions. Although EVA-based nanocomposites have been investigated for solar cell encapsulation, limited studies have systematically examined how different nanoclay fillers and processing conditions influence the thermal stability and encapsulation efficiency of EVA materials. This study aims to optimize the thermal stability of EVA nanocomposites by incorporating different inorganic fillers mica, montmorillonite (MMT), and vermiculite, at varying concentrations and milling cycles. An 8% EVA solution was prepared and blended with these fillers to evaluate their effects on the thermal and structural properties of the nanocomposite materials. Thermal characterization using Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) revealed noticeable changes in melting temperature, glass transition temperature, and thermal degradation behavior. The incorporation of nanofillers improved the thermal stability of the EVA matrix and influenced its crystallinity and mechanical properties. The optimized EVA nanocomposite demonstrated enhanced thermal resistance and improved durability compared with neat EVA, although a slight reduction in encapsulation efficiency was observed. These findings provide valuable insights into the formulation and optimization of EVA nanocomposites for solar cell encapsulation, contributing to the development of more thermally stable and durable encapsulation materials for sustainable photovoltaic applications.
