“…National or regional databases, which evolved from publicly funded projects, provide inventory data on a variety of products and basic services that are needed in every LCA, such as raw materials, electricity generation, transport processes, and waste services as well as sometimes complex products. Several national and international public databases have been released in the past, among them the Swedish SPINE@CPM database (CPM, 2007), the German PROBAS database (UBA, 2007), the Japanese JEMAI database (JEMAI, 2007;Narita et al, 2004), the US NREL database (NREL, 2004), the Australian LCI database (RMIT, 2007), the Swiss ecoinvent database (Ecoinvent, 2007), and the European Reference Life Cycle Database (ELCD) (European Commission, 2007a). Further databases are currently under development all over the world, for example, in Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Malaysia, Thailand, and other countries.…”

“…Against this background, among other things, absence of and deficiency in reliable data are among the most common challenges being dealt with by LCA experts and practitioners [46]. In line with this, some countries, e.g., India and Japan, have developed their own life cycle inventory databases [47,48], and many other countries are in the process of developing their own LCI databases [49].…”

The building and construction sector in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), experiencing rapid growth, is in the early stages of embracing sustainability measures. In the years ahead, the booming building sector in business-as-usual scenarios may pose serious energy and environmental challenges for the Kingdom. This situation will require the Saudi building sector to adopt robust sustainability measures. Embedding life cycle assessment (LCA) as a standard practice can be a useful strategy for improving the energy and environmental footprint of buildings. This paper proposes a theoretical framework within which to promote LCA in the Saudi Arabian construction industry. This framework comprises three pillars: policy, social, and technical. The framework covers the role of the Saudi building sector’s stakeholders such as policy makers, building industry professionals, representatives of relevant governmental bodies, and academics. Adaptation of this LCA framework can help substantially improve the energy and environmental performance of buildings. The proposed LCA framework is aligned with the international as well as the Saudi government’s drive for sustainability in the building sector.

“…In Asia, the LCA National Project in Japan, funded by the Ministry of Economy, has developed LCI data for approximately 200 products, with data gathered from about 50 industrial associations (Narita et al 2004). The Korea National Cleaner Production Center (KNCPC) is constructing the national Korean LCI database for Korean industries (Korea National LCI Database, KNCPC 2010), established with the support of the Ministry of Commerce, Industry, and Energy.…”
