Why Building LCA?
Building LCA helps you measure and reduce environmental impacts of your building, achieve green building certifications, and comply with regulations. We’ve compiled our top resources to help you dive into each of these specific use cases.

Regulations
Building LCA is a mandatory part of several existing and future regulations. A list of governments driving the low-carbon agenda is given below:
- Consommation d'énergie non réglementée et émissions de carbone des bâtiments - quelle évolution ?
- EU: taxonomie européenne.
- UK: Plan Londonien
- France: La RE2020
- Suède: Klimatdeklaration
- Italie: Criteri Ambientali Minimi (CAM)
- Les Pays-Bas: De milieuprestatie van gebouwen (MPG)
- Denmark: Bæredygtighedsklassen
- Canada: Toronto Green Standard

Certifications
For achieving BREEAM, LEED, HQE, E+C- or other green building certifications, the building LCA results must be tailored to the relevant scheme, including life-cycle stages, impact indicators, benchmarking, and more. The use cases for a few of the most popular certifications are listed below:

Voluntary Targets
Performing a building LCA is essential to meet the net-zero and low carbon targets which end-users, investors, and tenants value. Some examples are listed below:
- Net zero: Designing net zero carbon buildings
- Net zero: How to achieve Net Zero Embodied and Operational Carbon
- Net zero: How to design and model projects
- Circularité: An introduction to circular economy principles in the construction
- SE 2050: Meeting the SE2050 challenge with One Click LCA
- Living building challenge and zero carbon

How to automate the building LCA process?
If you’ve struggled with old-style LCA tools and cumbersome Excel sheets, you’ll appreciate the efficiency boost offered by automating LCA through integration with design and modelling tools such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Building Energy Modelling (BEM) tools. The resources will guide you through the basics of building LCA automation.
