    Aspect B-30 Transport of the users of the building Description For building LCA, the environmental impacts of transportation of people during the use stage may influence the decision between alternative construction sites (e.g. is the building located near public transport services?), or between alternative projects for the same site. Generally speaking, if the transport of…

    Aspect C-02 Demolition/deconstruction – complete LCA Description The deconstruction and demolition stage involves quantification of the impact related to the end of life of the constructed system. For example, if it is a reinforced concrete building, deconstruction activity will consist mainly in separating the reinforcing steel from the concrete. During this operation, energy is consumed,…

    Aspect C-06 Transport of wastes to landfill, incineration and recycling facilities – complete LCA Description The transportation distances are likely to be different, depending on the EoL scenarios. For example, whereas a landfill facility is likely to be found in every city, a recycling plant may be far away as, for example, only one exists…
