Abstract

This chapter delves into the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology for buildings, outlining its four key stages: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory analysis, life cycle impact assessment, and interpretation of results. It emphasizes the iterative nature of LCA and provides practical examples to illustrate the process. Additionally, the chapter discusses the importance of data quality, sensitivity analysis, and the influence of various methodological variables on LCA outcomes. It also highlights future trends and the growing importance of LCA in sustainable building practices, making it a valuable resource for professionals seeking to understand and apply LCA in their work.
