Session Abstract:

Join CADCentre for an insightful webinar on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.

Throughout Europe new legislation introduces LCA as part of the local building codes to lower the carbon footprint of the building industry. Denmark is a global leader in sustainable building practices with the most ambitious restrictions, including mandatory LCA documentation on all new buildings from 2023.

This webinar will cover the importance of LCA calculations, how they integrate with Building Information Modelling (BIM), and their impact on reducing the carbon footprint of buildings.

Key Topics:

  • The significance of Life Cycle Assessments for architects in initial project phases

  • The European Union's approach to use LCA as a driver for a more sustainable building industry

  • The synergy between BIM, LCA, and sustainability

  • DesignLCA as a tool for LCA calculations in Archicad

  • Danish case studies: Strategies for designing buildings with a lower carbon footprint
  •
