Developing an optimized early stage LCA tool for buildings with a user perspective for the Swedish context

Authors Tjäder, Maria; Hollberg, Alexander; Ingelhag, Gerda; Wallbaum, Holger Abstract Background In the early stages of a building project, there is low quantity and quality of data regarding building materials while the ability to influence the environmental performance is high. Easy ways of assessing environmental impact in these stages can make a big difference and [...]

Using standards to maximise the benefit of digitisation of construction product Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) to reduce Building Life Cycle Impacts

Session TU.3.A || Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Life Cycle Assessment Authors Anderson, Jane; Rønning, Anne Abstract EPD provide standardised environmental information about the impact of making, using and disposing of products. Over 40,000 EPD for construction products are now available, and many provide the “cradle to gate” data digitally for use in Building LCA [...]

Using Blockchain to Change the Way We Manage Life Cycle Data for Coffee Supply Chains

Session TU.3.B || Life Cycle Data Supporting Supply Chain Management Authors Jattke, Marleen; Itten, René; Stucki, Matthias; Ortiz, Carlos; Kanyange, Nadine Abstract The coffee supply chain is a complex system with many variable parameters that make it difficult to track the sustainability of the coffee produced. New approaches are needed to support sustainable supply chain [...]
