The main objective of this paper is to study and quantify the differences in energy consumption and environmental impacts of two dwellings during the full building life cycle: one in Spain, a developed country, and one in Colombia, a country under development. In both scenarios, we assessed the construction, use and end-of-life phases. Results show that the use phase in the Pamplona house (Colombia) represents a lower percentage for all impacts in the total than in the Barcelona house (Spain). The findings of this study showed that the difference in consumption in Colombia and Spanish dwellings analysed is not only due to the variation in results for bio-climatic differences but also because of the consumption habits in each country. The importance of consumption habits of citizens and the need to decouple socio-economic development from energy consumption are sought for achieving sustainability from a life cycle perspective. There is a crucial necessity to provide satisfaction to basic needs and comfort requirements of population with reasonable and sustainable energy consumption. Then, the type of standard dwelling varies substantially depending on the geographic location where it is built. Climate, technological, cultural, socio-economical differences clearly define the standard of a building in any context and in any region. However, the function is always the same, to provide protection and housing for its habitants.
一个在西班牙，一个在哥伦比亚。在这两种情况下，我们评估了建筑、使用和寿命终结阶段。结果表明，在潘普洛纳住宅（哥伦比亚）中，使用阶段对所有影响的总百分比都低于巴塞罗那住宅（西班牙）。本研究的结果表明，分析的哥伦比亚和西班牙住宅之间的消费差异不仅是由于生物气候差异的结果变化，还因为每个国家的消费习惯。从生命周期的角度来看，要实现可持续性，就必须关注公民的消费习惯以及将社会经济发展与能源消耗脱钩的必要性。必须以合理和可持续的能源消耗来满足人口的基本需求和舒适度要求。然后，标准住宅的类型会根据其所在的地理位置而有很大的不同。气候、技术、文化和社会经济差异在任何情况下和任何地区都明确界定了建筑物的标准。然而，其功能始终是相同的，即为居民提供保护和住房。
