Life Cycle Assessment towards Environment Friendly Building | Original Article

ABSTRACT:

Various management tools and structural designs to evaluate environmental concerns are available and Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is one of the best tools to achieve sustainable building practices. By applying LCA it is possible to optimize these aspects, from the extraction of raw materials to the final disposal of waste building materials. LCA examines environmental inputs and outputs related to a product or service life-cycle from raw material extraction, through manufacture, usage phase, reprocessing where needed, to the final disposal. And design structure accordingly to achieve 100 efficiency towards balancing environmental needs. This paper deals with the LCA methodology of environment-friendly building and structure design (residential, commercial building) which greatly reduced energy needs through efficiency gains such that the balance of energy needs can be supplied with renewable technologies is discussed and reviewed as a means of evaluating its impact.
