| Abstract | This document provides comprehensive instruction for the practice of life cycle assessment applied to buildings, based on relevant standards and keyed to various intentions. The goal is to harmonize the practice of whole-building life cycle assessment (wbLCA) across different studies and assist in interpretation of and compliance with relevant standards. The guidelines will be periodically updated, as methods and standards evolve. The purpose of this document is to: • instruct wbLCA practitioners to assure quality and comparability of their results, • enable the calculation of reliable baselines or benchmarks, • support LCA-based compliance schemes in green building programs and policy, and • assist in the development and use of wbLCA software. |
