Background

• Expanded CO2 Footprint

• Climate Change Potential

• Health Effects Potential

• Natural Resource Depletion

• Ozone Depletion Potential

• Eutrophication Potential

• Acidification Potential

• Chemical Smog Potential

• Potential Habitat Destruction


Background


Life Cycle Based: Wanted and Unwanted Outcomes Considered

Building Assessment

• Scorecard Methods (LEED, BREEAM, GBC, Green Globes)

• Whole Building Energy (eQuest, DOE2, BLAST, EnergyPlus)

• Model Codes and Standards (IECC, 90.1, IgCC, ASHRAE189)

• Whole Building LCA Methods (Athena Impact Estimator)

Background


Performance Based: Mostly Wanted

Outcomes Considered

Facade Assessment

• Energy Performance Analysis (NFRC, CMA)

• Air, Water, Structural (AAMA)

• Security / Hazard / Safety (AAMA, TAS, FPA, ASTM)

• Acoustical Performance (ASTM – STC and OITC)

The Emergence of Life Cycle Product Assessment

Sustainable Design Considerations

Cradle to Grave Approach • Material Extraction

• Manufacturing

• Use

• Disposal

In order to understand all of a building’s impacts, the products that go into the building must be assessed from a life cycle perspective

Like Whole Building Analysis, Products must consider Life Cycle
