Life‐Cycle Assessment: Reducing Environmental Impact Risk with Workflow Data You Can Trust

Abstract: How can architects offer proof of their proposals' ‘green’ credentials? The answer – as advocated by John Cays, Associate Dean of the New Jersey Institute of Technology's College of Architecture and Design – is through life‐cycle assessment (LCA). Here he explains what it is, tracing its evolution over some six decades. He goes on to describe how design firms are partnering with software developers to create LCA tools that work alongside building information modelling to generate reliable data on their project… Show more

“…Increases in greenhouse emissions increase the radiation emitted by the Earth, leading to increased temperatures negatively affecting ecosystems, health and resources. The various life cycle stages considered in Tally® calculations include product, maintenance and replacement, end of life and potential of reuse afterlife of building, including energy recovery and material recycling (Module D) (Cays, 2017;De Wolf et al, 2017). Required operational energy data includes energy use intensity (kWh/m 2 /year) and total electricity demand (kWh).…”

“…Nesse cenário, a Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida (ACV) tem se apresentado como uma abordagem reconhecida internacionalmente, que avalia o potencial impacto de produtos e serviços na saúde humana e no meio ambiente, ao longo de todo o seu ciclo de vida, incluindo a extração de matérias-primas, transporte, produção, uso e destinação final (ISO, 2006;KLÜPFFER, 1998). Esta metodologia pode ser aplicada a qualquer tipo de produto e tomada de decisão em que os impactos ambientais de parte ou de todo o ciclo de vida sejam de interesse (CAYS, 2017).…”
