From Cradle to Cradle: The Role of LCA in Building Decarbonization

LCA is an evolving discipline that is refined each year and made possible through the development of new building modeling, assessment, and building management tools. It is embracing new technologies such as artificial intelligence and driving the implementation of green building standards and building certification, like LEED. LCA has challenges, but it will be the key to significantly reducing the built environment’s carbon emissions.
