Assessing environmental impacts of buildings?

Designing and renovating environmentally efficient buildings

The life cycle analysis practise allows bringing an actual and responsible answer to these complex questions with a robust and multi-criteria approach (air, water and soil pollution, energy and mineral resources consumption, water use and ground occupancy…). In the building business, LCA is a tool to help decision making; it is regulated by recognized norms and labels and adapting to the needs of the different players of the sector.

The objectives of the training

- Understanding the concepts related to the life cycle of buildings
- Identifying the scope of use of this approach in the building sector (eco-design, environmental declaration, comparisons and improvements)
- Knowing the reference regulation framework
- Knowing quality requirements of a LCA study of buildings to meet targets
