Life cycle assessment
(LCA) of buildings and building products VTT
develops and applies ISO 14040 based life cycle assessment method for the
assessment of buildings and products. VTT
has actively participated in the development of the life cycle assessment
methods in R&D projects (for example PRESCO
and CRISP),
within SETAC (SETAC;
Life-Cycle Assessment in Building and Construction: A State-of-the-Art
Report, 2003) and within the development of standards (ISO
TC 59 SC 17). EKA is a Finnish national, voluntary method for environmental assessment of
building products. VTT formulated the method on the request by The
Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT. A data base of environmental
profiles of materials and products has been formulated on the basis of the
results of inventory analyses. This data base is included in the BECOST programme. Research results examples: Environmental impact of Coated
Exterior Wooden Cladding
