• Resumen

  • How can architects offer proof of their proposals' ‘green’ credentials? The answer – as advocated by John Cays, Associate Dean of the New Jersey Institute of Technology's College of Architecture and Design – is through life-cycle assessment (LCA). Here he explains what it is, tracing its evolution over some six decades. He goes on to describe how design firms are partnering with software developers to create LCA tools that work alongside building information modelling to generate reliable data on their projects' ecological profiles.
