LCA evaluation methodology for multiple life cycles impact assessment of building materials and components

This paper presents a methodological analysis of the issues related to the sustainable performance design of materials and building components, through the adoption of Life Cycle Assessment evaluations. In particular, the research explores which attributes, typical of the building process, are competing in balancing the sustainable use of resources, the energy efficiency goals, the reduction of waste/emissions and the reversibility of the interventions, during multiple and diversified life cycles and proposes a survey for the achievement of synthetic indicators that could guide the various stakeholders in the sector
