Life Cycle Assessment addresses the dynamic and dialectic of
building and ecology, presenting the key theories and techniques
surrounding the use of life cycle assessment data and methods.
Architects and construction professionals must assume greater
responsibility in helping building owners to understand the
implications of making material, manufacturing, and assemblage
decisions and therefore design to accommodate more ecological
building. Life Cycle Assessment is a guide for architects,
engineers, and builders, presenting the principles and art of
performing life cycle impact assessments of materials and whole
buildings, including the need to define meaningful goals and
objectives and critically evaluate analysis assumptions.
As part of the PocketArchitecture Series, the book includes both
fundamentals and advanced topics. The book is primarily focused on
arming the design and construction professional with the tools
necessary to make design decisions regarding life cycle, reuse, and
sustainability. As such, the book is a practical text on the
concepts and applications of life cycle techniques and
environmental impact evaluation in architecture and is presented in
language and depth appropriate for building industry
professionals.
