Life cycle sustainability assessment : a tool for exercising due diligence in life cycle management Ghent University
BIM-based life cycle assessment and life cycle costing of an office building in Western Europe Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The main aim of this research is to enhance the integration of life cycle assessment (LCA) and life cycle costing (LCC) methodologies with building information modelling (BIM), as existing approaches still have limitations (e. g. interoperability issues, non-editable databases). For that purpose, an automatic LCA/LCC analysis within a BIM-based environment is proposed. A BIM-based environmental and economic life cycle assessment (BIMEELCA) ...
Sustainable assessment of concrete repairs through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) University of Antwerp
Nowadays, a vast number of concrete structures are approaching the end of their expected service life. The need for maintenance and repair is high due to the continued deterioration of the existing building inventory and infrastructure, resulting in a large need for concrete repair in the near future. Reinforcement corrosion is the most important deterioration mechanism, causing (i) severe concrete damage (cracking along reinforcement and the ...

The hourly life cycle carbon footprint of electricity generation in Belgium, bringing a temporal resolution in life cycle assessment Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Life cycle assessment for the production of second generation bioethanol from Eucalyptus wood in Chile Ghent University
Comparative life cycle assessment and life cycle costing of lodging in the Himalaya KU Leuven
© 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Purpose: The main aim of the study is to assess the environmental and economic impacts of the lodging sector located in the Himalayan region of Nepal, from a life cycle perspective. The assessment should support decision making in technology and material selection for minimal environmental and economic burden in future construction projects. Methods: The study consists of the life cycle assessment and ...
Life cycle assessment and life cycle costing of road infrastructure in residential neighbourhoods KU Leuven
The built environment consists of a huge amount of infrastructure, such as roads and utilities. The objective of this paper is to assess the life cycle financial and environmental impact of road infrastructure in residential neighbourhoods and to analyse the relative contribution of road infrastructure in the total impact of neighbourhoods. Various road sections are analysed based on an integrated life cycle approach, combining Life Cycle ...
Low-Tech Passive Solar Design Concepts for reducing Life Cycle GHG Emissions of Buildings - Life Cycle Assessment of Regenerative Design Strategies (2/2) KU Leuven
In order to achieve the necessary reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and decarbonization of building construction and operation, both high- and low-tech building design strategies are promoted. Amongst particularly promising strategies are the deployment of energy efficiency measures, for reducing operational energy use and related impacts, as well as the application of low-carbon, bio-based construction materials, for reducing embodied ...
