Currently, active education at universities is increasingly preferred.The introduction of innovative approaches to teaching is reflected in the increased number of practical lectures mainly.The use of new methods has also been applied to the subject of”LCA Building Materials", which is aimed at assessing the environmental impacts of building materials.Regarding the production of building materials and their use, the process of construction and operation of the building, as well as its disposal, the use of environmental assessment methods seems to be very desirable and perspective in regard to negative impacts on the environment and public health.This idea formed the basis for an active approach to teaching.During the lectures, theoretical knowledge is continuously supplemented by an illustrative example of calculating the environmental impacts of a selected family house.Through the available online LCA methods students evaluate their projects in parallel with the teacher, as if they were dealing with a real contract.Main goals of the project are to improve students’skills, to broaden their knowledge, to look at the issues comprehensively(construction industry, environmental protection, climate change etc.), and to apply knowledge to practice.
