Attend this Webseminar:

The green building movement is experiencing a fundamental shift in the way it approaches sustainable design. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), is used to assess building materials from extraction and processing through manufacturing, transportation, use, maintenance and disposal or recycling taking into account energy use, air pollution, global waste and global warming potential to provide a common basis to compare designs.

Armed with LCA analysis, design and construction professionals are able to make informed, scientifically-based choices that result in better buildings.

You will learn:

• The why and how of LCA
• What is in the LCA toolkit and where tools fit in the project delivery process
• Details about the free ATHENA EcoCalculator for building assemblies
• How to use the EcoCalculator

Who should attend:

Architects
Engineers
Building Owners and Managers
Contractors and Builders
Developers
