Integration of Life Cycle Assessment Into Agent-Based Modeling

چکیده
ing the World As already mentioned, the WorldMarket of the agent-based model is actually a portal to an LCI database. This integration means that we can simulate a system in which we have a “lens” of complex dynamic behavior where agents interact with a static definition of the world. One Davis et al., Integration of LCA Into Agent-Based Modeling 321 R E S E A R C H A N D A N A LYS I S can further refine this concept to create a more sophisticated representation of the world. For instance, one could allow the WorldMarket to use macroeconomic input−output tables. Such a combination would allow the agents to operate within a more realistic macroeconomic environment while also allowing one to simulate microeconomic effects (Peters and Brassel 2000).

متن کاملIntegration of LCA and BIM for Sustainable Construction
The construction industry is turning towards sustainability. It is a well-known fact that sustainability is based on a balance between environmental, social and economic aspects. In order to achieve sustainability efficiently, these three criteria should be taken into account in the initial project phases, since that is when a project can be influenced most effectively. Thus the aim must be to ...
