Life Cycle Assessment for Buildings

The work presents the results of some case studies oriented toward the investigation of the potential of Life Cycle Assessment evaluations in the area of environmental impacts related to the life cycle of buildings. In particular, the aspects connected with the performance behavior of building components (and of the entire building organisms) are dealt, in relation to users’ needs which are cha...

Environmental life cycle assessment and optimization of buildings

The work aims to present initial efforts to the development of an integrated user friendly (architect-oriented) tool for the environmental assessment and optimization of buildings. The tool will focus on the preliminary design phase, where improvements, having a major influence on the building lifecycle, are still possible. A software tool for dynamic simulation of the building lifecycle will b...
