A Procurement Tool for streamlined Input-Output Sustainability Assessment

Authors Quell, Antonia; Scholz, Richard; Forin, Silvia Abstract Data collection for upstream materials and processes is often the most time-intensive task when performing company-wide sustainability analyses. It is therefore helpful for practitioners to build upon databases that are already in place at the company level and source inventory data through a virtual interface. Our newly [...]

Parametric Building Life-Cycle Assessment and multi-objective design optimization

Authors Kalfountzos, Vasilis; Pasanen, Panu Abstract This paper presents an integrated approach for implementing parametric life-cycle assessment in a project’s early phases, coupled with multi-objective design optimization, considering material cost and embodied carbon emissions. Life-cycle assessments are typically conducted at later stages in the design process, effectively limiting the range of optimization techniques available to [...]
