The principles of circularity for the sustainable design of buildings aim to reduce their environmental impact.  Environmental product declarations (EPD) and carbon footprint tools are the most useful tools for classifying building materials and evaluating circular projects.  Other life cycle assessment (LCA) tools are ...

Owners, designers, contractors, and manufacturers must radically rethink the way we use, renovate, and design buildings.  Using better and less materials is key to reducing embodied carbon in meeting our CO₂ emission targets.  For this, tracking the environmental impacts of the whole building life cycle – from material ...

To decarbonize buildings, architects and building designers must reduce the environmental footprint and CO2 emissions associated with materials over the whole life cycle of building.  Through life cycle assessment (LCA), the highest-impact, most cost-effective solutions to reducing embodied carbon are identified.  This ...

Construction is responsible for a huge amount of emissions and environmental degradation.  How and by whom materials are made is key to transitioning to a sustainable economy.  An important tool in assessing the ecological impacts is environmental product declarations (EPD), which are product-specific impact assessment ...
