Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range
of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life
of a product, from its design through to its eventual disposal or
reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental
design within the built environment is critical, due to the complex
range of materials and processes required to construct and manage
our buildings and infrastructure systems. After outlining the
framework for life cycle assessment, this book uses a range of case
studies to demonstrate the innovative input-output-based hybrid
approach for compiling a life cycle inventory. This approach
enables a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of resource
requirements and environmental outputs so that the potential
environmental impacts of a building or infrastructure system can be
ascertained. These case studies cover a range of elements that are
part of the built environment, including a residential building, a
commercial office building and a wind turbine, as well as
individual building components such as a residential-scale
photovoltaic system. Comprehensively introducing and demonstrating
the uses and benefits of life cycle assessment for built
environment projects, this book will show you how to assess the
environmental performance of your clients' projects, to compare
design options across their entire life and to identify
opportunities for improving environmental performance.
