LCA evaluation methodology for multiple life cycles impact assessment of building materials and components

Abstract

 

The existent building heritage’s retrieval holds the whole of the interventions aimed at preserving, recovering, rebuilding and using better the heritage itself. Any retrieval and restoration procedure and technique of the existing heritage cannot prescind from considering the materials and the building technology used to realize the architectonical work where a necessary intervention is required. The retrieval plan gathers chemical, structural, architectural, technical and functional aspects indissolubly. This knowledge is useful in planning the activities of maintenance and management of the interventions.
