Purpose This paper reviews the state-of-the art research in life cycle assessment (LCA)
applied to buildings. It focuses on current research trends, and elaborates on gaps and …

Buildings are responsible for a considerable portion of the embodied and operational CO 2
emitted by human activities. Some building attributes have taken on the mantle of …

It is essential to provide quantitative decision support when pursuing environmental impact
mitigation efforts, particularly when considering resource and energy-demanding sectors …

Most of the developed countries are struggling to reduce carbon emissions into the
atmosphere to meet the international agreements. One of the strategies to reduce climate …

Uncertainties in the life cycle assessment (LCA) of buildings affect the environmental
performance benchmarking and can lead to incorrect decision-making. Reducing …

This study aims to present a framework to quantify the climate change impact during the
buildings' life cycle. The proposed framework is tested on a bamboo bio-concrete (BBC) …

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is widely used to quantify the environmental performance of
buildings. Recently, the potential temporal variations in the lifetime of buildings and their …

Climate change impact of a building was evaluated through a Dynamic Life Cycle
Assessment (DLCA) methodology with the aim at demonstrating the feasibility of DLCA and …

In life cycle assessment (LCA), temporal considerations are usually lost during the life cycle
inventory calculation, resulting in an aggregated “snapshot” of potential impacts …

Climate warming is a global concern, and buildings have been recognized as a major
contributor because the carbon emissions during their entire life cycles constitute a large …
