The aim of the article is to analyze changes in the global warming potential coefficient depending on design solutions during the building's life cycle. Replacing silicate blocks insulated with mineral wool with sandwich panels reduced CO2e/m2 emissions by 14% compared to the base model. The model taking into account actual material transport distances showed the lowest emission reduction. The article emphasizes the need to use ecological building materials and the differences depending on the advancement of the project.

W artykule zaprezentowano analizę zmian współczynnika potencjału globalnego ocieplenia w zależności od rozwiązań projektowych w cyklu życia budynku. Zamiana silikatowych bloczków docieplonych wełną mineralną na płyty warstwowe zmniejszyła emisję CO2e/m2 o 14% w porównaniu z modelem bazowym. Model uwzględniający rzeczywiste odległości transportu materiałów wykazał najmniejszą redukcję emisji. W artykule podkreślono konieczność stosowania ekologicznych materiałów budowlanych i różnice zależne od zaawansowania projektu.
