Full Description

This exam emphasizes the theoretical methodologies involved in conducting life cycle assessments (LCA) specific to sustainable architecture. It encompasses material sourcing, construction phases, and operational impacts.

The application of LCA is critical in understanding the environmental impacts of building materials and systems throughout their life cycle. This knowledge fosters informed decision-making in design and construction practices, ensuring compliance with sustainability goals.

Students will be required to verbally articulate LCA principles, discuss data interpretation, and analyze the implications of findings on sustainable architecture projects.

Additional focus will be placed on recent advances in LCA methodologies and their relevance to contemporary environmental challenges in building engineering.
