This review paper presents a comprehensive analysis of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
methodologies applied to construction materials. It begins with an introduction highlighting …

The life-cycle assessment method, which originates from general products and services, has
gradually come to be applied to investigations of the life-cycle carbon emissions (LCCE) of …

The construction sector delivers the infrastructure and buildings to the society by
consumption large amount of unrenewable energy. Consequently, this consumption causes …

The energy consumption of a building is strongly dependent on the characteristics of its
envelope. The thermal performance of external walls represents a key factor to increase the …

There is a growing concern in society for the environmental impacts of a built environment.
In this regard, the use of building information modelling (BIM) tools has arisen as a new …

Current environmental problems arising from the building sector require tools to help reduce
