The construction industry is one of the greatest sources of pollution, where 39% of global energy-related carbon emissions are attributed to
Facades are increasingly being recognized as a major contributor to whole-building embodied carbon. While designers know how to reduce the embodied
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodology used to quantify the impact of building construction supply chains on the environment in terms of
What environmental impact does one object have on the world? This is the question at the core of life cycle assessments (LCA); the embodied carbon lens. ...the current architectural practice rarely provides enough time to explore this type of examination.
