Integration of LCA and LCC with BIM for the environmental and economic assessment of buildings

12/09/2019

Contemporary society is progressively moving towards a more sustainable development than observed in previous generations. There is a growing concern about the impacts of the developed technology on human health and on the environment. National and international initiatives are taking place in order to promote the well-being of the present generation but, more importantly, make certain that the welfare of future generations is not hindered because of unsustainable practices in present. In this regard, worldwide governments are taking measures to reduce the societal impact on the environment. The Paris Agreement was one of the most recent global convention that aimed to address the climate change threat, gathering the support of 185 countries so far. Deeply concerned about the consequences of the modern society, the European Union has been advocating the development of an efficient and sustainable society considering the environmental, economic, and social impacts of European Member States. Between 1990 and 2016, the European Union successfully reduced the energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions while increasing the gross domestic product, demonstrating that a development based on the three pillars of sustainability (i.e. economic, environmental, and social) is attainable.
