24. Life Cycle Assessment
3 Levels of Assessment – for higher
levels of ambition
• Size Adjustment factor – don’t
oversize homes –automatically
assessed!
• Use products with Environmental
product declarations (EPD)
• Calculate the embodied impacts using
data from LCA database or EPD
database using either BIM or
manually

25. Err….. what’s an EPD?
• An EPD is an 3rd party verified declaration of
the environmental impacts of a construction
product.
• EPD are the foundation of Whole Building
Life Cycle Assessment.
• EPD are hosted on EPD programme
platforms E.g. BRE’s Greenbook ,Germany’s
