N2 - Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is crucial to mitigate the environmental impact of residential retrofits. However, a significant gap exists in evaluating the complexity of building life cycles in the context of residential renovations. The proposed intelligent Knowledge Base System methodology integrates existing building materials, stock data, typologies, and retrofit scenarios, employing a hybrid approach that combines rule-based, casebased, and frame-based systems for comprehensive life cycle assessment. The case study focuses on retrofitting the semi-detached housing typology, transitioning from a boiler to a heat pump, and results in a reduction of total carbon emissions to 184 tCO2e and 90 tCO2e over 60 years. This study aids energy policymakers, urban planners, and researchers by offering an intelligent framework to promote eco-friendly renovations and advance sustainable building practices.
