LCA

Oostvaarders Clinic, Almere (Studio M10)

LCA stands for Life Cycle Analysis. It is a method of determining the total environmental impact of a (construction) product during its entire lifecycle, i.e. extraction of raw materials, production, transport, construction, maintenance, use, demolition and waste disposal. This involves a broad examination of the service life of the product - a holistic approach.

The LCA section in www.duurzaaminstaal.nl includes an explanation of the approach to an LCA study in general and the LCA of steel.
