集装箱是为货运目的而制造的非常坚硬和坚固的符合规格的。海运和陆运结束后，集装箱在港口和其他地方占据了巨大的空间。在所有的再利用中，最近的技术和建筑实践已经将集装箱用于家庭建筑目的。本研究调查了集装箱最近在住宅建筑中的使用情况，并确定了其在澳大利亚建筑业中的可建造性。研究了碳足迹和其他生命周期环境影响（LCEI）的影响。采用生命周期评价（LCA）方法评价了LCEI的6个类别指标：累积能源需求（CED）、水利用、固体废弃物、全球变暖潜势（GWP）、酸化潜势和富营养化潜势。以集装箱框架房屋为基本案例，与以往的研究进行比较，以评估这些LCEI的差异。根据澳大利亚建筑规范，集装箱房屋符合6星能源评级。结果表明，除用水量和固体废物产生量外，运行阶段对各指标的影响最大。对于所有影响类别，如果建筑物的设计寿命增加到100年，则整个生命周期影响的总体贡献显着增加。
Shipping containers are manufactured exceedingly rigid and strong complying specifications for freight purposes. After ending freight spell at sea and road, shipping containers are just occupying huge spaces at ports and other places. Among all the reuses, the recent technology and construction practices have set the containers for home building purposes. This research investigates the recent usage of containers for home buildings, and determines its constructability in Australian building industry. It also investigates the effects of carbon footprint and other life cycle environmental impacts (LCEI). Life cycle assessment (LCA) approach was used to evaluate 6 LCEI category indicators: cumulative energy demand (CED), water use, solid waste, global warming potential (GWP), acidification potential, and eutrophication potential. A container-framed house is used as the base case to compare with other previous studies to evaluate the differences in those LCEI. According to Building Code Australia, the container house was complied with 6-star energy rating. Results show that operation phase has the most dominating impact for all the indicators except water use and solid waste generation. For all the impact categories, the overall contributions of the whole life cycle impacts have increased significantly if the design life of a building is increased to 100 years.
