| Understanding the Role of Lifecycle Assessment (LCA) in Sustainability | |||
Green building products are becoming an increasingly competitive market. Differentiating between these products can often be challenging: which are environmentally preferable, which are truly “green”? LCA’s are quickly being incorporated around the world as a tool when making these determinations. Dr. Rhodes will discuss how Scientific Certification Systems uses this framework of cyclic analysis for the products they certify. |
