A quick Google of 'Life Cycle Assessment' renders over 450,000,000 results. To make life easier, here is a list of some of the most transparent methods, standards and research on Life Cycle Assessment for buildings.
- RICS produces a range of professional standards, guidance and information documents. This guide provides requirements for conducting whole-life carbon assessments for construction projects in line with EN 15978. It also focuses on the interpretation and practical implementation of the EN 15978 methodology.
- This Embodied Carbon Primer offers supplementary guidance to those interested in exploring embodied carbon in more detail to support the need for knowledge in the built environment industry surrounding embodied carbon reduction strategies and calculations.
- Embodied carbon in building services: a calculation methodology. Guides on how to use environmental product declarations (EPDs) for MEP products and methods to estimate the embodied carbon of MEP products.
- Details alternative assumptions to be made when using CIBSE TM65 in Australia and New Zealand.
- Specifies Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) calculation method and other quantified environmental information to assess the environmental performance of a building.
- Describes BRE Global’s methodology for deriving the environmental performance of buildings using LCA and is complementary to (and complies with) EN 15978:2011.
