- 82 -6.4.4 ResultsThe number of points awarded (only for the two categories materials and energy), as well asthe weighted total score (based on those two categories) for the Steel, Concrete, Timber andTimberPlus building are shown in Table 6.14.The weighted score is calculated in the Green Star tool based on the weightings shown inTable 6.12. Categories for which “not applicable” was chosen are excluded from theweighting, i.e. it leads to a different result if N/A is ticked or if 0 credits are awarded.Table 6.14: Green Star results – base scenario.Timber TimberPlus Steel ConcreteRecyclables Storage 0 0 0 0Re-use of Façade N/A N/A N/A N/ARe-use of Structure N/A N/A N/A N/AShell and Core or Intergrated Fit out 0 0 0 0Recycled Content of Concrete N/A N/A N/A 3Recycled Content of Steel N/A N/A 2 N/APVC Minimisation 0 0 0 0Sustainable Timber 2 2 N/A N/ACarpet N/A N/A N/A N/APaints 0 0 0 0Thermal insulation 0 0 0 0Non-carpet floor coverings N/A N/A N/A N/ACredits for material 2 2 2 3Credits for energy 3 3 3 3Total credits 5 5 5 6Weighted score 5 5 5 6The environmental ranking of the buildings based on the Green Star results would be- Concrete- Steel/Timber/TimberPlus (all joint equal)In comparison the LCA results for primary energy use as well as GWP in the base scenarioare shown in Table 6.15Table 6.15Table 6.15.Table 6.15: LCA results – base scenarioRanking Primary energy GWP1 TimberPlus TimberPlus2 Concrete Timber3 Timber Concrete4 Steel Steel
