This paper provides a review on three streams of life cycle studies that have been frequently
applied to evaluate the environmental impacts of building construction with a major focus on …

To decrease the use of fossil fuels and face the energetic demand, the integration of
renewable energy is a necessary step. Part of this renewable energy can be supplied by the …

Life cycle assessments (LCAs) of electricity generation are increasingly incorporating more
granular spatial and temporal information, enhancing the accuracy of both inventories and …

The prospect of irreversible environmental alterations and an increasingly volatile climate
pressurises societies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, thereby mitigating climate …

Electricity is the main energy carrier in today's society and plays a vital role in a sustainable
