About Us
Welcome to our platform dedicated to the dissemination of the latest research on Building Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Recognizing the scarcity of accessible scientific knowledge online, we have created this website to bridge the gap between complex scientific articles and practical, understandable content for professionals and stakeholders in the construction industry.
This initiative, spearheaded by Professor Thomas Jusselme from HEIA-FR/ HESSO, is the result of collaborative efforts with his colleagues at the Energy Institute. Our goal is to make technical reports and scientific articles more accessible and comprehensible, fostering a community where knowledge is freely shared and discussed.
Our website is open to anyone interested in contributing to the field of Building LCA. We invite researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts to share their insights and findings, helping to demystify technical content and promote informed decision-making in the construction sector. Join us in our mission to advance the understanding and application of Building LCA. Together, we can drive innovation and sustainability in the built environment.
Our Vision
Empower organizations to foster collaborative LCA thinking and support decision-makers by closing the loop.
Digitalisation
Embracing digitalisation in life cycle assessment (LCA) transforms how we collect, analyze, and interpret data. By leveraging advanced digital tools and technologies, we streamline processes, enhance accuracy, and enable real-time data integration. This shift not only improves efficiency but also opens up new possibilities for innovative solutions and deeper insights into environmental impacts.
Database
A robust and comprehensive database is the backbone of effective life cycle assessment. Our vision is to develop and maintain an extensive, up-to-date repository of high-quality databases. This will support accurate and reliable LCA studies, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to the information they need to make informed decisions. By prioritizing data integrity and accessibility, we aim to foster transparency and trust in LCA practices.
Decision-making
Incorporating life cycle assessment into decision-making processes empowers organizations to make more sustainable choices. Our goal is to integrate LCA insights seamlessly into strategic planning and operational decisions. By providing clear, actionable information, we help businesses and policymakers understand the environmental implications of their actions, leading to more responsible and sustainable outcomes.
Our Mission
We Aim to Build a Better World
The mission of the initiative LOW CARBON BUILDINGS is to take action and combat climate change by promoting building and construction practices by reducing the environmental impact throughout their entire life cycle. By promoting life cycle assessments, this initiative aims to identify areas where improvements can be made and take to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental associated with building construction, operation, and demolition. Through collaboration with industry stakeholders, the initiative seeks to drive positive change and create a more sustainable built environment.
