BIM-integrated LCA - model analysis and implementation for practice

Ecological impacts of buildings can be quantified using the method of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA). With the help of digital methods and semantic building models (BIM), those impacts can be reduced by investigation of variants and their LCA comparison. However, there is a large deviation in the results due to inaccuracies in the modeling and the calculation tools. This paper proposes an improved workflow of BIM-integrated LCA avoiding those...
