Building LCA resource hub

Ebooks, Webinars, and articles that explain the key concepts of building life cycle assessment, and help you master it

Resurser

Building LCA is a science-based methodology for quantifying the lifetime environmental impacts and embodied carbon impacts of a building and the most effective tool available to measure the life-cycle carbon emissions of any construction project. We’ve compiled our top resources to help you get started and put life-cycle metrics to work for you.

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:

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:

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.
