LCA application in urban design
Abstract
Why expanding the scale ?
- large influence of decisions at the urban scale on environmental performance of buildings, e.g. spatial organization (compactness, solar exposure, ...) has a strong influence on energy and material flows
- possibility to exchange energy between buildings
- possibility to study collective equipment like district heating, wasterwater treatment etc.
- transport related impacts are important
