Environmental life cycle assessment in an integrated CAD environment:the ecologue approach

摘要

Thsi paper reviews the current state of assessment methods and computational support tools for LCA,and their application to building design.Then,the implementation of an application (ECOLOGUE) for comprehensive ocmputational assessment of environmental impact indicators over the building life cycle is presented.The application is a component in a multi-aspect space-based CAD and evaluation environment (SEMPER).The apper describes the use and typical rsults of ECOLOGUE system via illustrative expamples.
