ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT The increase of the application and interest in life cycle assessment (LCA) studies in the construction sector implies a parallel increase of responsibility. With LCA-results as an important additional decision criteria for planers, the significance of the individual results shown gain more and more center stage. This paper discusses different aspects for LCA-planers regarding method and assessment decisions. This contribution constitutes the relevant aspects regarding environmental impact, carbon storage and use of resources, especially with the use of renewable resource based construction components. The LCA-results of the “dataholz.eu”-project provide the background data and argument stated in this paper.
