Abstract :Life span is an important variable in Life Cycle Assessment of buildings. The aim of this study is to make the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) analysis of containers and to investigate the relationship between life span and consumed energy with CO2 emission values. The proposed model in the study focused on the construction phase of the containers to estimate total energy use and CO2 emissions for different life span years. Life span years are chosen between 5-40 years interval. Energy efficiency and emission parameters are defined for the construction per square meter. It is found that energy and emission values are decreasing with the increase of life span years in container type housesKeywords : Life Cycle Assessment, Life span, Energy and CO2 consumption, Containers
