• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Most of our work is based on the powerful tool of life cycle assessment, LCA in short. It refers to the life cycle. This helps you to find out in which life cycle phase the biggest savings or credits can be earned and prevents trade-offs. It refers to assessment. It combines all environmental impacts into a small set of environmental indicators. Environmental indicators include global warming, resource depletion and acidification. All is based on your environmental footprint: what is consumed and what is produced? Consumables are energy and resources. Products are the service or product your supply and emissions and waste.

We apply ISO standard series 14040's on life cycle assessment and ASTM E1991-05 Environmental Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Building Materials/Products.
