LCA of low-energy flats using the Eco-indicator 99 method: Impact of insulation materials

▸ Life Cycle Assessment of a low-energy building using the Eco-indicator 99 method. ▸ Insulation materials have a significant impact on the eco-score of the design. ▸ Production of the materials are generating the largest impact on the final eco-score. ▸ Focusing on sustainable materials instead of on an environmental-friendly design. ▸ Waste recycling has a lower eco-score compared to waste disposal.
