Greening the Building Sector: Implications for LCA Approaches

This document discusses the findings of Maria Atkinson and Chris Derksema from the Green Building Council of Australia on sustainable development and transition strategies for the property industry towards green building practices. It covers Environmental Impact Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methods, including the Green Star tool for rating environmental performance across categories such as indoor environment quality, energy, transport, water, materials, land use, ecology, and emissions. The framework highlights innovation in sustainable design, exemplified by Australia’s first 5-Star Green Star office, contributing to greater environmental sustainability in construction.
