G-29 (Buildings) / G-27 (Products) Abiotic resources depletion indicator
Aspect G-29 (Buildings) / G-27 (Products) Abiotic resources depletion indicator Description In LCA, different indicators can be used for assessing the use of resources. These can be based on a thermodynamic approach (use of energy or exergy indicators), on a mass flow approach (use of a total mass requirement indicator), on a surplus of energy…

G-30 (Buildings) / G-28 (Products) Land use indicator
Aspect G-30 (Buildings) / G-28 (Products) Land use indicator Description Land-use change is linked to human activities such as the exploitation of land for agricultural, industrial, residential, recreational, or other purposes. Currently, several LCIA methods exist, providing both midpoint and endpoint characterization factors. According to the ILCD Handbook, the midpoint characterization factor for land use,…

G-32 (Buildings) / G-30 (Products) Human toxicity and ecotoxicity indicators
Aspect G-32 (Buildings) / G-30 (Products) Human toxicity and ecotoxicity indicators Description LCIA methodologies usually include midpoint or endpoint indicators for three area of protection: resources, human health and ecosystem. For the two last areas of protection, different indicators are currently available to assess the ecotoxicity and toxicity effects related to a product or a…

G-34 (Buildings) / G-32 (Products) Water consumption as a new impact category
Aspect G-34 (Buildings) / G-32 (Products) Water consumption as a new impact category Description The water consumed during the life cycle of a product or a building can have an impact on the environment. This impact actually depends on the geographical location. For example, in some regions of the world, the same amount of consumed…
