Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool that offers decisional support to designers about sustainability of projects. LCA has been recently improved with the implementation of site-dependent factors, spatially resolved at the level of countries. The uncertainty in assessment due to spatial variation of effects is thus reduced. A further improvement may be achieved, in the future, by development of characterization factors spatially resolved at level of regions. This may give more precise information about impact of local products.

Abstract
Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a tool that offers decisional support to designers about sustainability of projects. LCA has been recently improved with the implementation of site-dependent factors, spatially resolved at the level of countries. The uncertainty in assessment due to spatial variation of effects is thus reduced. A further improvement may be achieved, in the future, by development of characterization factors spatially resolved at level of regions. This may give more precise information about impact of local products.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
